I love rainy days! This morning we've been cuddling up in our pjs and listening to the rain and watching Avery's recent obsession 'Mickey Mouse playhouse.' Of course I am the one provoking this infatuation because I want to go to Disneyland in a couple months and you can't go to there if you don't know who Mickey & Minnie are, right? :)
We took these photos of Avery last week on a rainy day, or rather, Collin took these pics of our little girl. Now I am going to say something that is recited over and over by the mouths of mothers, "She is growing up so fast!" I'm sure I'll be repeating that the rest of my life-but she is. One thing for sure is that she's not growing out of her love for rain boots. First the froggies, now the kitties. If you would like to book a photography sesson with Collin let me know...seriously!
Sundays are a perfect day for baking. Yesterday I stuffed my face with the yummiest pumpkin cookies, not to mention, the easiest recipe...
1 box of 'Spice' cake mix
1 can of pumpkin
& a bag of chocolate chips.
That's it. (Thanks Em!)
Speaking of yummy recipes... Paper Crafts released a new book. Want one? It's full of eye-candy craft projects and delicious recipes. Not to mention that the book itself is gorgeous and you'd want to leave it out on your counter top. (the photo below doesn't do it justice:)
Leave me a comment with your favorite treat or dish you like to make on a rainy day.

Well I don't necessarily have a great rainy day treat but I do have a recipe to share. It's BLT dip. Very (I stress VERY) unhealthy but Oh so good. You cook 1lb. of bacon until crispy mix it will 1 cup of mayo, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 diced medium-large tomoato, let refrigerate for a few hours and serve with toast or crackers. I serve mine with multi-grain crackers. Delicious!!!
Our favorite thing to bake is Cupcakes. With all the different sprinkles out there you can make them for any season! The little ones can help too. Love the photos. I wish my hubby would grab the camera sometimes. Have a wonderful rainy day. I can't wait for some to hit Southern California.
Rainy days mean indoor picnics. We pack a little basket and head to the family room for a fun time. Finger sandwiches, chips, raw veggies, and our travel drinks. then pop in a good movie and enjoy...
put some apple cider in the crock pot with a few cloves and a cinnamon stick. yummy house smell, warm and fuzzy tummy feel.
I love making chocolate chunk brownies! Straight out of the box! Their fast and the batter tastes the best!
Apple cider and apple crumb cake are my favs on a rainy day!
I like to make pies and cobbler...my favorite is blueberry. My parents live in Maine where the blueberry is the State fruit. So I have a great excuse to make blueberry cobbler when I visit them. Thanks!

slow days scream for soup, but I find myself, instead, making choc chip cookies or pumpkin bread.
Oh, what a cutie you have - just adorable! ((((;
My favourite treat for a perfect inside day: newly discovered last Friday: a whole-wheat-applesauce-cinnamon-brown-sugar-and-pecan-half-on-top-muffin - THEY WERE UNBEATABLE THE BEST MUFFINS I EVER MADE!
If you had asked one week earlier i would have said "The best brownies in the world" from the "Crazy for chocolate"-book by Trish Desine!!!
WOW!!!!
Lovely greetings from over the ocean
Katharina from the BlackForestRegion/Germany (;
I love to bake...so my fav would be choc chip cookies.
As far as drinks go it's a toss up between hot chocolate or hot apple cider. Then for dinner..I love to cuddle up with a piping hot bowl of chili complete with cheddar and some fritos! WOW!! That's a lot of stuff and it's rainy..so I need to get crackin'! :)
Mel in OKC, OK
Those pictures are absolutely adorable... Love them! And she is growing fast!
Oh on a rainy day I love sipping on some yummy herbal tea or hot chocolate. But I also love spending time baking- cookies, breads/muffins, brownies... anything yummy!
So cute! It is a rainy day here too and I'm craving a big pot of soup or maybe hot chocolate!
I love a good grilled cheese sandwich with a steaming cup of tomato soup. D-lish!
A hot cup of english tea (Yorkshire tea is the best!)
I love to curl up in my pj's with a nice mug of hot chocolate and cool whip or vanilla ice cream on top... then again that sounds good every day:P.
My favorite (which I actually made yesterday!) is home-made mac and cheese... I have so much fun grating the cheese and even more fun eating way TOO MUCH when it's done! :-)
S'mores are my fave! I'm even so desperate for them sometimes I just zap them in the microwave- I'm not ashamed!
~Sarah H.
OK, I totally want to make the cookies, but so, do I MAKE the cake mix, or just add the pumpkin? Am I just dumb or what? Seriously though I need some help here.....and booking with Colin?! How much? I soooo need a family Christmas picture asap!!! I figure if you are serious no one would be better than him to get both my kids looking at the SAME time! Where do I sign up?!?!?!
My favorite thing to make on a rainy day is grilled cheese with a hot bowl of chilli or tomato soup!!
A cup of hot chai tea is yummy too!
I would love this book - my favorite easy recipe is brownie cookies. Love how soft they are! :)
Ooo...Fun Book! Soup is a must on a cold, rainy day. We call it "Papa Soup" at our home!...Just a simple, home-made vegetable beef soup, but extra yummy and full of love since it's my dad's one specialty. I love your blog, Liz! I always look forward to the next post, no matter what the subject!
I love hot chocolate....mmmmm...and roasted marshmallows done over the gas stove!
just so happens it is a cold rainy day here in NH...i have the smell of pot roast & apple pie cooking in house right now! love to bake cookies also, families new addiction is chocolate peanutbutter chipe cookies! YUMMO
we had a rather dreary day here in nashville this week and i made some oatmeal cake. it is so yummy!
Well I understand the need for Disneyland... even though I am only 10 minutes from it... I can't get enough of it... especially seeing it through my 4 years olds eyes.... The magic is there that is for sure....
Just a hint... if you are planning a get away to disney in Anaheim... the best days to go are tuesday and wednesday....but never during the holidays!! But if you make it during the winter months... you will see the most beautiful lite up castle ever!!!
And on a rainy day...when we have them here... you can never go wrong with Chocolate Chip Cookies... straight from the oven of course...nice and HOT!!!
Caramel brownies are in the oven as we speak! YUM! Such comfort! I love them.
Love the smell of brownies baking in the oven. It's devine!
chocolate chip cookies. I just posted the best recipe ever on my blog today (to celebrate the cloudy, stay-in-bed-all-day weather.
http://whitesparrow.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/amazing-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Cupcakes! Altho, if my partners home, he would prefer Yo-Yos. But you can never go wrong with Cupcakes! :)
First can I just say that I am always intoxicated by the blueness of the eyes of you and your children??? Amazing! Love the family pics you share on your blog...
It actually rained here in Southern California this weekend. On Saturday morning, I whipped up a batch of Pumpkin Waffles and the house smelled HEAVENLY. With a hot cup of coffee, it was bliss!
Mmmmm.....crockpot chili and cornbread. Perfect for a cold day. Thanks for sharing the pumpkin cookie recipe!
I like to make chocolate chip cookie dough. No need to bake. Just eat the dough. Yum. And if there is any left, then you can freeze it for later to eat more dough. The best no bake cookies around.
I agree with the grilled cheese & tomato soup vein. Although I do get picky and need colby/monterey jack cheese with (preferably) Sarah Lee potato bread. I was lacking both when my husband and I went on an internship for him to Philadelphia. Rainy days just weren't the same.
Well, this may seem boring, but my all-time favorite is chocolate chip cookies, using the recipe right on the bag of chocolate chips. They're the BEST!
Martha Stewart's chocolate waffle cookies...They take a bit of time...the kids love to do them...and we just love to eat them... seriously enjoy!!!
http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/chocolate-waffle-cookies
Cookies! Any kind...I love to try new recipes. :) That book looks great!
it's rainy a lot here in seattle... but nothing beats the smell of warm homemade bread in our house!
I'm with everyone else- I love soup on a rainy day. One of my faves is this one:http://triedandtrues.blogspot.com/2007/09/baked-potato-soup.html
Oh I hope I win. I'd love to have this book.
Thanks for the chance!
Chocolate chip oatmeal breakfast bars...I added "breakfast" to the name so that we have an excuse to eat them right at the start of our day.
Nothing beats chocolate chip cookies!
On rainy days I like to make brownies, and hot chocolate, talk about chocolate overload, yum yum. Thanks,
Jscrapfreak@hotmail.com
I'm actually having one of those rainy days today! I always fill my teapot up and listen to it whistle and get my huge mug for some yummy hot chocolate!! It's a good excuse for chocolate, right? LOL
Thanks for sharing!

I make Choc. chip cookie dough(from scratch) with mini choc. chip morsals. Instead of putting them on a cookie sheet to bake use a mini muffin pan. Cook for about 8minutes when they come out of the oven let them cool for 2 minutes then gently press a mini peanut butter cup in them. Cool again then pop them in your mouth. There is NO WAY you can eat just one.
I love putting on a big pot of homemade spaghetti sauce on a cool day. If I bake it is almost always brownies.
chicken noodle soup, and hot tea:)
We make french toast with drizzles honey or maple syrup .... mmmmmm
soup most definitely! Love the pics of Avery...I posted a cute idea for a stocking stuffer for little ones today if you get a chance to check it out!
I like to make chili! Nothing beats it on a rainy day.
Any kind of cupcakes! I make them every Friday whether it's raining or not!
Chocolate chip cookies with coffee flavor. yum.
Hello there TV Star!
I also love the spice cake mix/can of pumpkin recipe! And as a Weight Watchers Recipe - Guilt Free! Never tried chocolate chips with it. Sounds yummy!

Way to go CLeetus, the pictures are fantastic! I found a new favorite recipe to make on the cooler days, varsity chowder, here is the link:http://wonderwoman-diana.blogspot.com/2008/10/another-couple-of-yummy-recipes.html
yummo! and it's quick!
Treats, hm... cookies and tea, but the yummiest (and not as difficult as it sounds) dinner we made last week when it was cold and rainy is: (you can make it ahead and freeze it, too, and it's still yummy!:)) Sorry about the long comment!
Chicken Noodle Casserole
1/2 c plus 2 T butter, divided
1/2 c all-purpose flour
3 c rich chicken stock
2 c sour cream
1/2 c white wine
dash nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 lb egg noodles, cooked 6 to 7 minutes
4 1/2 c cooked chicken, cut into pieces
1 lb mushroom, sliced and cooked
1 c soft bread crumbs
1/2 c Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Clean and slice the mushrooms and sauté in a 2 tablespoons butter until soft and slightly browned, about 7 minutes.
Remove crusts from 2 or 3 slices of fresh bread and with steel blade in food processor, process bread until soft crumbs form.
Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan, over medium heat, and whisk in the flour. Cook 1 minute. Gradually add stock, sour cream and wine. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste and blend well. Arrange the noodles in an ovenproof casserole. Layer chicken, mushrooms then sauce to cover.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and mix with the bread crumbs. Top the casserole with the buttered crumbs and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Serving idea: have with buttered green beans and biscuits.
I don't bake or cook much...but I love to scrapbook on a rainy day! Does that count? :)
p.s. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. I've been a faithful reader of CK magazine for years and am now a faithful follower of you blog too. Your scrapbooking is inspirational and your family is darling! I have two little girls too (age 4 & 2). It's the best! Thanks for sharing!

Oatmeal Raisin cookies or Gingersnaps. I love them both and can't seem to get enough. Snickerdoodles have their time and place as well.
Hot cocoa with a huge mountain of fluff floating on top.. :-)
Rain in the fall would be apple crisp.
I love making yummy warm banana bread on rainy days! Too bad the rain is quickly turning to snow :(
Hi Elizabeth,
Well let's start the day with a cup of chai coffee and warm cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven, then if it goes into lunch and nice gooey grilled cheese sandwic with a diet pop (a vice of mine). Then a nice cup of hot tea with milk for the afternoon creative session.
Thanks and I love your website.

You guys are making me hungry!! :)
Kay,
to make the pumpkin cookies you don't add the oil or egg to the cake mix-just the pumpkin and chocolate chips. Don't worry I asked her the same question.
:)
White chicken chili...easy, healthy & yummy! :)
Thats my sister, educating Avery on the most important things Mickey, Minnie, and all the other characters I will be testing her before your Disneyland trip to make sure she is ready :)
give avery a kiss and quency a squeeze love you
Lemon Snowflakes or Chocolate Krinkles (made from same recipe depending on the cake mix used)
1 pgk (18.25 oz) lemon cake mix with pudding (use choc cake mix if wanting chocolate krinkles)
2 1/4 cups whipped topping
1 egg
powdered sugar
In mixing bowl, combine cake mix, whipped topping and egg. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Batter will be VERY sticky. Drop by teaspoonfuls into powdered sugar; roll lightly to coat. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Yield 5-6 dozen.

Me and my three little boys love popcorn on the stove and real hot chocolate on rainy days..especially this time of year when it is cold!
Homemade potato cheese soup is a favorite for days like these (at least it's pouring in Utah where I am!). Also, good old chocolate chip cookies.
Hmmm, it might depend on my mood. I do enjoy curling up on a rainy day with a big bowl of popcorn. But, if I am going for homemade goodness then I love homemade cinnamon buns!! Yummy!
i love a pan of simple, old fashioned brownies--warm, right out of the oven with a glass of iced milk! YUMMO!
Caramel Popcorn is such a yummy treat and I love to make homemade rolls or breadsticks on rainy days. What adoreable pictures!!!
S'mores! I have an indoor smore maker (because we have no fireplace). They are scrumptious and makes everyone feel better about being inside on a rainy day!

I love to bake - especially on rainy or snowy days....so cupcakes, cookies, cakes & brownies. yum
Oh I really want this book! I love to make hot chocolate with marshamallows on the chilly days. I also love Duncan Hines Brownies! The best!
I'm a sucker for warm soup (or chili) on a cold, wet, dreary day... of course, with home baked rolls to go with! YUM!
I love to make chili in the crockpot and corn bread. I love to smell it all day long!
chocolate chip cookies!! hot out of the oven. Yummy!!
Apple crisp! it's sweet, conforting and the house smells amazing!
Michele
Chex Mix with real butter hits the spot on a rainy day! It contains cereal so it can serve as breakfast if needed. :)
Definitely hot cocoa to drink and some sort of cookie to eat with it - usually oatmeal raisin or peanut butter chocolate chip!
BTW - Super cute pink hat! :)
I gotta have COMFORT FOOD on those rainy days, yesterday it was Potato Soup, sometimes it's Chili. Mmmmmmmm.
I like to make some warm chocolate chip cookies and dip them in some cold milk.
My recent treat-obsession is Cool Whip. Come rain or shine, that stuff is da bomb, and very easy to make-scratch that-buy.:)
becky higgins makes these pretzel hugs that are out of this world. they are my new favorite treat.
mmm definitely double choc chip muffins! The really big ones where the muffin top is soooo HUGE it's overflowing like a big mushroom, yum :o)
My DD has just discovered Mickey Mouse too! Thank goodness cause I'm waaaayyy over Dora!!
We must have been on the same wave-length because I made the exact same yummy cookies yesterday. I think I ate 5 of them after dinner (wow-that is so many).
Super easy pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting in the fall, and chocolate peppermint cupcakes in the winter!
Thanks!
Monica
Our family favorite desert to make is...
Frozen Lemonade Cake
1 carton of vanilla ice cream (softened)
1 12oz can frozen lemonade defrosted a little bit
Mix these two ingredients together for the ice cream cake
Crust:
12 graham crackers
1/2 cup melted butter
4 Tbs. sugar
Mix these ingredients together to make the crust. Evenly coat on the bottom of a 9x12 dish. After the crust pour the ice cream mixture over the crust and freeze until ice cream is frozen.
So YUMMMY! And yet so EASY! I hope I win the book! I am a big desert girl!
I love to bake and it does not have to be rainy either:) My fave yummy thing to make is chocolate marshmallow bars!! They are super gooey & so delish...and easy to make too - box of deivil foods cake, marshmallow fluff, & peanuts!!
I always make chocolate chip cookies for my husband. I make a double batch about once every 2 weeks or so and keep them in the freezer.
Banana bread!!
soo yummy, especially with a glass of tea, or hot chocolate!!
we definitely go for the chocolate chip cookies here!
Creamy potato soup topped with cheese and crumbled bacon. Yum!

Oooh, those look delish! I love to make blueberry muffins ... there's nothing quite as good on a rainy morning at home as warm blueberry streusal-topped muffins and a cup of hot coffee. I think I'll make some tomorrow since there's rain in our forecast.
Colleen
Snickerdoodles...definitely Snickerdoodles! Love the kitty boots! too cute!
Just made the Chocolate-Macaroon pizza, recipe from The Pampered Chef....so scrumptious!
I would have to say chocolate chip cookies. My husband LOVES the cookie dough and my little guys and I love the fresh baked cookies. Combine that with a fireplace fire and hot apple cider....mmm mmmm mmmm
I definitely need the pattern for your daughter's hat! So cute!
I make oatmeal chocolate chip pudding cookies. Ooh, I may have to make those now!
I'm a pumpkin lover so chocolate chip pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing hits the spot for me on a rainy day:)
I love making brownies or chocolate chip cookies. Avery is so beautiful, and YES she is growing up so fast!

I found a great brownie recipe made from scratch. It is topped with marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Yummmm!
Chili or vegetable soup on a cold day! Gotta have corn muffins to go with it, though!
Tracy M
My favorite is oatmeal caramaletas. And my 6 yr old daughter loves to make them with me!! That's the best part!!!
The year-round rainy day treat is popovers. I like to make a roast in the oven (any kind will do) and serve warm, crusty, eggy popovers full of gooey warm butter spilling out of them! Hmmm, we have grey skies but no rain--send it this way!
My Favorite rainy day treat is banana nut bread and hot chocolate with marshmallows. Although, I do have to make a loaf with nuts and a loaf without nuts as my girls do not like nuts in theirs! LOL!
What a beautiful picture of Avery! I sure wish I could take pictures like that! Believe me if Georgia was not so far away I would definitely book a photography session!
Robin
Oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips... among many things!
my fave chocolate chip cookie recipe...yum!
Definitely apple crisp. Just cut up apples and put the crisp on top.
For a 9x13 pan-
2 1/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts, I like walnuts
1 cup melted butter
Mix it up and spread over the top. Cook at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. (can also be used with peaches, pears, plums, or cherries.)
Delish! Tastes just like the apple crisp at Red Robin.
-Michelle, Mom of Six
Mmmm classic chocolate chip cookies. I like the straight out of the oven and dunked in soy milk :)
hmmm, it would have to be Rice Krispie Squares! (at least I know they will always turn out, lol) With a mug of warm cider, of course!
Chocolate chip banana bread is always a winner in my house. A big, thick, warm slice with a glass of cold milk....mmmmmm.

My rainy day fave? That would be pumpkin bread... or maybe chocolate chip cookies... or blackberry cobbler.. or oatmeal raisin bars with cream cheese frosting...Actually I just love to bake ANYTHING on a cold rainy day. It warms the house up & makes is smell great :)
When I was a kid on rainy days my grandma always had a batch of top of the stove cookies(also known as no bake cookies) ready for us after school...now not enough time to make them...by the way when my niece (3 yr old) was here this summer, I HAD to get her the kitty rain boots during our shopping excursion ..much to her mother's dismay she alternates between them and her cowboy boots I got her!
they do grow up too fast my daughter is a senior and headed for college in less than a year
:( I love to make chili
Chocolate chip cookies or mini muffins using the same recipe as your pumpkin cookies only using chocolate cake mix instead. Yum!
I love that picture, and i would love some lessons from Cleetus! When does the class start??? sign me up! My new favorite thing to make is pumpkin cream cheese muffins...i have a knock of recepie from the ones made at starbucks, and it is pretty close! YUM!!!My husband said they were my best muffins yet! :)
Sweet potato chili! Yum!
Mmmmm - we love grilled tuna sandwiches. A basic standby for our family. Thanks!
I love to bake on cold and rainy days - banana bread with chocolate chips, gingerbread, oatmeal raisin cookies - yum... Then enjoy my sweet treats with a pot of coffee...
Kristin, Pittsburgh, PA
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Though that pumpkin cookie recipe sounds heavenly! TFS!
MMMMmmmm... there are so MANY yummy rainy day yummies! We LOVE a good crockpot full of potatoe and beef goodness, or banana bread fresh out of the oven with butter melting on each slice... or even a killer grilled cheese with fresh tomatoe slices and fresh basil leaves.
And the first person that commented and said 'diet coke cupcakes' I'm totally going to google those... WHAT IS THAT? Sounds heavenly ;)
Cakes...I like to share them with friends/neighbors, a surprise delivery! I am buy today scarpping our Disney trip last Fall, the BEST trip/time ever...I am STILL scrapbooking it, enjoying every minute of it again and again!
On rainy days I like to bake brownies or cookies. I guess it just depends on what I'm in the mood for or what ingredients I have on hand!

Wassail, apple pie, and homemade bread.
Anything with pumpkin is great by me in the fall. Choc. chip pumpkin bread is one of my favs.

Chili with homemade bread is great on a rainy day and of course better with family.
I love to make cinnamon brownies!!!
The rainy day staple: Chocolate chip cookies. As I've gotten older, my taste in chocolate chips have become quite particular. Not any old chocolate chips will do..callebaut or nothing.
Have a great day!
Ahhh yes, love the rainy day with the house being warmed by something delicious in the oven, snuggled up under covers with a good book (or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse :).
I love classic chocolate chip cookies or as of late pumpkin bread. Mmmm ....
A really big cup of spice chai latte... Mmmmm
On a cold, winter day I like to curl up with a warm cup of ibarra - a spiced mexican hot chocolate that my mom made all our childhood and now I make for my own kids...
Disneyland is the best...we just got back from Halloween Time a couple weeks ago, so fun. Collin's pictures are beautiful - rainy days have the best lighting!
On rainy days I like to stay inside and bake something that makes the whole house smell good - like blueberry muffins and even though it's not raining here in AZ I may have to go and make some!
Erin
Oh and I forgot to ask...where did you get that hat Avery is wearing?!?! So cute, I think my daughter needs one!
Erin
Rice Krispy Treats, for sure!
Love to make a Pumpkin loaf with walnuts and dark chocolate chips. It makes the house smell wonderful too.
What a cool book idea!! My favorite thing to bake lately is banana bread, its super easy to make and lasts a long time which is a plus in my book!
Excellent book idea. On a cold rainy day, nothing beats a big pot 'o chili. :)
Your daughter is so cute!!! If I didn't live in Ohio...I would book a session immediately! ;-)
My favorite treat to make on a rainy day is Mint Hot Chocolate. And not just ANY mint hot chocolate...this one!!
One cup hot chocolate +
2 andes mints on the bottom =
stir it up and it is pure heaven!!
My sweet husband came up with that one to cure my mint craving and I make it especially when it is cold outside!!! Those cookies on that book look SOOOO good too!!
Kirsten Rasmussen

Yum! Anything with chocolate and peanut butter is my go to on rainy days...or any day for that matter. :o)
broccoli cheese soup and smores... yummy
Right now - nothing because I'm 10 weeks pregnant and am miserably sick. But....when I'm not sick my new favorite rainy day treats are Andes Mint cookies (from Becky Higgins blog) I keep the Andes Mints on hand just in case! They're DELICIOUS and they look so fancy though they are super easy to make.
Has to be soup,I have a great recipe for a Minestrone I like to make or a Black Bean soup served with warm crusty French bread.. Yum
I love to make cinnamon buns - They never last long though!!!
We love the cake mix with the can of pop! Sounds as easy as yours, probably not as tasty though cause no chocolate chippers!! We just made a vanilla cake mix with diet cream soda and no, it did not make it past the weekend! =)
Rainy day? Hot chocolate or double chocolate chip cookies, of course!
I cant resist hot milo with marshmallows and choc chip cookies!
We don't get a lot of rainy days here in Mesa, AZ, but any day is a great day for chocolate no bake cookies. I like to put in a little peanut butter for added flavor.
Black bottom cupcakes...so yummy and decadent, with cream cheese/chocolate chips. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity :-)
spelt oatmeal choc chip cookies Yum
Wow, Cleetus is a man of many talents! I hope that he doesn't come around only at Halloween.
My favorite rainy day treat to make are scones or muffins. They go perfectly with a little hot chocolate, mmmmmm!
Always cookies. Rainy, sunny, whatever . . . always cookies, any kind! Today it was chocolate chip.
Pumpkin Chocolate chip cookies is my new discovery this fall. My family and I loves them. Yum! I think it's time to make a batch.
Yummy! I love to make those very same favorite muffins!
Yummy!
Oreo bark is my favorite! So easy to easy to make and great for the holidays. It's addictive!
Peanut Butter Cookies!! And if I'm feeling extra daring I might push a Hershey's kiss into the middle. Heaven!!
I love making homemade soup (any kind) when it's rainy or cold!
On a cold rainy day I like to have bread pudding...especially when my husband makes it for me!
We had a rainy day today, and it's the usual: chili! And because of the season I also made pumpkin pie. =)
BTW, could you tell us how long you bake the pumpkin cookies and the oven temperature?
Thanks!
On a rainy day? Hmmm...probably either hot chocolate or a slice of homemade banana bread. Oh wait, I just remembered butternut squash soup. One of those. Yes. One of those.
Hot chocolate with marshmallows... or cookies! Yum!
I love to bake when it's rainy particularly chocolate chip banana bread. Yummy!!!
I'm not much of a baker but on a rainy or snowy day I love some hot chocolate!!
on a rainy day I love hot cocoa! But my new favorite treat is Reese peanut butter cups frozen!!!! They are heavenly.
There is nothing as comforting as hot cocoa on a rainy day.
my girls and I like to make and decorate sugar cookies and homemade cream cheese icing that we dye fun colors using food coloring. We made some fabulous ones for Halloween on a rainy day and had so much fun...except for that whole cleaning up the mess thing :-).
What a terrific photo....Kudos to Collin! I love to make cranberry white chocolate scones and eat them alongside a nice hot cup of Chai tea. Mmmmmm!
Caramel brownies! Yum!
Love your pics! Avery is so adorable!!
Hot chocolate with marshmallow!
Love the pics!
How fun!! Would love this book!
My fav thing to make on a rainy day is a big pot of soup and let it cook in the crockpot all day. That + a loaf of garlic bread. Mmmmmm!!
Stephen's mint hot cocoa. I know, it's not something hard or long to make, but I prefer the quick treat and a good book!
Ok first I have to say Cleetus certainly missed his calling, not that I know what his calling is but that picture of Avery is gorgeous. I guess it helps that she is gorgeous but anyway....sorry for rambling.
Favorite rainy day meal? I'm a southern girl so chicken and dumplings. yummy

I don't have to wait for a rainy day. No bake chocolate cookies are a favorite and fast treat when you are craving that special something. The rain just gives you an excuse, right?
WANT IT! Fave treat on a rainy day is hot caramel apple cider and warm cranberry orange scones. Yum!
I always seem to make warm honey wheat bread. It does just the thing to help cozy up.
I hope I win!
I absolutely love Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread...yummmy...and I have to make sure to add the streusel topping too!...I love these days!

I like to make Chicken-Corn soup; it sounds like a weird combo, but it is delicious and one of Hubby's faves!
