Apple Oatmeal Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting

Apple Oatmeal Cookies with Brown Butter FrostingWell hello Wednesday. How did you get here? I missed my usual Saturday things post because I was sort of obsessing over my new niece. But, never fear. Here lies my newest installment of Saturday Wednesday Things. You’re welcome, America.

1. Time really flies when you’re having fun. I got back from our mini family reunion/baby ogling trip yesterday and have been trying to climb to the top of my dirty laundry pile ever since.

2. So far I have been rather unsuccessful.

3. Send help.

4. While on said trip, we had some family photos taken by Callie Mae Photography. We saw a ‘preview’ of the work she did and of course loved the photo. If you live in Utah or Idaho {or other places and are willing to travel, like us} then give this girl a call! She is wonderful….

5. Wonderful and CRUEL! I don’t like getting just a ‘preview’. Now I have to wait a week to get the rest of the photos?! WHAT? –>torture

6. If you haven’t yet ‘liked’ my latest photo at the Around the World in 80 Plates Facebook page, please please please take 4 seconds to click the button.  My life is depending on this!!!!

7. Ok, not really. [click to continue…]
