Day 16: Challenge - Oklahoma Women Bloggers Photo Challenge

The challenge was not gobbling up these beautiful cookies!   The black satin chocolate ghost was filled with white chocolate ganache.  The cookie itself was a bit bland, but the ganache was good.  The pumpkin spice macaron was divine.

Day 15: Vegetable - Oklahoma Women Bloggers Photo Challenge

Cal-Organic Rainbow Carrots from Sprouts (okay, just orange, yellow, & purple) - and they all just taste like regular carrots, in case you were curious.

Day 14: Hope - Oklahoma Women Bloggers Photo Challenge

Today's post is close to my heart.  My younger sister has a brain tumor.  It took us all by surprise last April, when she had a seizure out of nowhere.  It has been a scary ride that we would love to get off of as soon as possible.
