sweets: Robins Egg Nests

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 29 Comments

So, I seriously need one of you to be my neighbor!  I promise to bring over tasty treats at least twice a week!  Who wants to apply?!  Anyone?  Bueller?

Miss V & little T haven’t been feeling their best lately & have been headed to bed pretty early & eating pretty little.  So, with my taste testers biting the dust, you might have seen on Instagram this week, that I took it upon myself to sample eat a large amount of these cookies before they became nests.  Enter in, a big tummy ache!  See, now do you understand why I need you as my neighbor?!

These yummy treats are a two part process, a very easy two part process :)  I wanted to kick up the basic Bird Nest cookie a notch, so I used the base of my trusty ol’ dark chocolate cookies, added some marshmallow candy melts, mixed in some coconut, and because it is the season for them, some Cadbury mini eggs!

I present to you, the basic Birds Nest in hyper-drive, aka Robins Egg Nests ;)

    I just made your dark chocolate cookies – OMG they are FANTASTIC! My mother and I are in the kitchen baking, and I wondered that there wasn’t vanilla in the mix. After taste-testing one, we decided your recipe is PERFECT and doesn’t need a thing!
    Just wanted to let you know that we’re making the Robin’s Egg Nests – I know they’ll go over very popular at my work Monday.
    AWESOME recipe!

    Lovely looking recipe; thanks for sharing it. You might want to check the directions in the second section. Step 13 says to continue melting in 30 minute increments, but I’m pretty sure you meant 30 second increments. Most people would figure it out, I’m sure, but any newbies to cooking might be surprised. :-O Again, absolutely lovely presentation. :-)

    If these taste even half as good as they look I’d eat a dozen!

    If you live anywhere there isn’t snow I’ll move in next door tomorrow.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
