Pumpkin Pie

Inspired by Bakerella's Mini Pumpkin Pie Bites, we baked individual Pumpkin Pies tonight.

It was the perfect rainy day activity. Gabriella stood on a chair eating raw pie dough and critiquing my technique. Apparently, I'm a good mixer and need to be more careful when cracking open eggs.

Milk and Cookies

Dominic's extra-long nap this afternoon gave me an excuse to stay home and bake chocolate chip cookies with Gabriella for the first time. I used this recipe from Bakerella and may never use another one. The cookies were that good.

Here's my adorable assistant.

Cheers! I love love LOVE eating raw cookie dough off the utensils.

Looks like Gabriella is saving some of the warm gooey chocolate for later. Who can blame her?
