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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 369 of 369Castillian Hot Chocolate!
INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
1/2 cup unsweetened powdered cocoa
1 cup sugar
7 tsp cornstarch (cornflour)
1/2 cup water
4 cups milk
PROCEDURE
(1) Mix the cocoa and sugar together.
(2) Dissolve the cornstarch (cornflour) in the water
and combine with the cocoa-sugar mixture in a
medium-sized saucepan. Stir this until it is a
smooth paste.
(3) Begin heating this mixture, continuously stirring
it with a whisk. Gradually pour in the milk.
Continue stirring as you bring it to a simmer.
(4) Simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. The
cocoa is ready when it thickens and is glossy and
smooth.
NOTES
The consistency of the finished product should resemble cho-
colate pudding that didn't quite set. If you halve this
recipe, you'll get just the right amount for two large mug-
fulls. This cocoa is especially fantastic when you dip
churros into it
The book looks divine! My favorite rainy day dish is homemade soup or a cup of gourmet hot coco or both!
Warm chocolate cookies fresh out of the oven :).
I love lentil soup on a rainy day. Thanks for the chance to win.
Precious pictures from your Cleetus. :) I love to bake bread. Yum then smother with butter. Mmmmm I can almost smell it!
My favorite...creamy tomato soup.
Your pumpkin cookies sound good...but one quick question...no eggs or other liquid???
I love to make soup and bread on rainy days and our family favorite dessert--Dump Cake!
Chocolate chip cookies all the way. Jumbo size with mini kisses...yum, yum!
My family loves butterscotch brownies!
My family is really into pumpkin spice muffins right now. Rainy day means something warm and yummy in your stomach!
Sure, I want one. Apple crisp. I have bags of frozen apples in the freezer so all I have to do is take a bag out, throw the apples in the pan, cover with crisp topping and bake. yummy.
Warm pumpkin muffins on a cold, rainy day are pure perfection. The smell sings autumn all over the house.
On rainy days I always crave soup and hot rolls - yum!
Warm brownies topped with ice cream and cool whip-delicious!
Thanks! :)
Mmmmm chocolate chip cookies with a nice warm mug of English toffee cappuccino.
One of my family's favorites is Potato and Ham Chowder. I make it in the crock pot with onions and a pepper gravy mix, let it cook all day, and then sprinkle with cheese. Yum!!
i''ll have to say cookies then you turn on a little anne of green gables! a perfect rainy day movie.
I love to make nice warm banana bread or cinnamon bread on a rainy day. It is perfect to curl up in the house with a hot cup of coffee.
Mini Brownies...when they are fresh from the oven & all warm...Yum-O!!
Although I may be pretty unconventional--I got married at 20, I have an infatuation with tattoos (though only two are visible), and my favorite band is Nine Inch Nails--I still like to go a traditional route on a rainy day: soup. I am not that particular about what kind, but making my own is always the best feeling. Since I live in the dorms in college, and I now have a kitchen, I can throw a pot of soup on and listen to the rain against the windows and watch the cloudy skies in my courtyard. It's the perfect rain-soaked day for me :-)
Chocolate chip cookies. Simple and yet so comforting.
hearty chili plus homemade cornbread is my rainy/snowy day speciality. the smells are wonderful and so comforting. And it happens to be exactally what I am making today! :)
I make a great homemade vodka sauce. I make a huge pot of it and freeze it. Yum! It's a go-to dinner!
I love cudding up with a good book and a bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with homemade bread on rainy days. Or...scrapping with some peanut butter brownies and tall glass of milk! Yum!
Hot chocolate...or tea.
I love to make Snickerdoodles!
Wow!! there are a lot of comments on here :)
Let's see what do I like on a rainy day, well, here in San Antonio, TX, rainy days are usually really muggy, so ice cream is the best to have. It's a instant cool down to the high-level humidity we get down here. My fav is Blue Bell's Bananna Split.
I checked my local book stores for that book and couldn't find it anywhere! Hmph!
Man, I love any baked food... but I'm also into making the rest of my family happy, so we'll take a vote on what I'll bake. =)
Super cute pics, btw!
I love to make a homemade soup or chili -- makes me just feel warm thinking about it!
I like to make hot chocolate on a rainy day... complete with little marshmallows! It is raining here today and that is all I want to do is sit around drink it! who needs food when you can drink chocolate!
Peanut Butter cookies......my kids and grandkids love these things.
debbim
My favorite treat to make is pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Recipe from Becky Higgins! But I enjoy making these on any kind of day. They are so quick and easy and delicious. My kids love them. I just finished making a batch for breakfast and then I can put them in their lunches this week! Yum Yummy!
HeatherOz
i would have to say apple crisp or peach cobbler. you know i love to cook. if i can just be in the kitchen all day on a rainy day... it is a good day!
Rainy or snowy weather definitely brings out my inner baker. My favorite: chocolate chip cookies. Although sometimes they don't make it to the oven and we just eat the dough.
Darling picture of your little Avery. And I agree, little ones do grow up way too fast!
My favorite treat to make on rainy days is hot chocolate...year round:o)
Oh and thanks for the recipe. I'm going to drop my little guy off at preschool and head to the store to get the ingredients:o)
I LOVE COOKIES!! AND BOOKS! I WANT! " ) Have a great day Lizzy!
Rainy days call for a nice mug of hot cocoa. If I had a fire place, that would top it off. A nice mug of cocoa, warm snuggly blanket and a nice warm fire:)
A HOT BOWL OF KOREA STYLE KIMCHI RAMEN! rainy-days-all-time-fav!
cold and rainy days... homemade chicken noodle soup! YUM! And of course some yummy applie pie with vanilla ice cream, can't forget desert! ;)
Ok...so I look easy recipes, and this one is so yummy! Enjoy!
Chicken Cheese Ball:
10 oz. can chunk chicken
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressing
1 package of cream cheese (softened)
Shred chicken into finer pieces. Add both of the other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Shape into ball. You could also roll the ball into cracker crumbs, if you wish. Serve with crackers or chips.
soup on a rainy day is my fave!
{vicki}
Either pumpkin bread with cranberries or ginger bread with lemon curd/cream cheese frosting.
Leauriy
oh boy...i want one :)))) i would have to say puppy chow!!! yummy stuff :))))
thanks for doing a giveaway!!!
On rainy days, I love to go BUY a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks and curl up w/ a good book. But, since I have 4-year-old twins, that free time is hard to come by.
I love to MAKE a pork roast in our crock pot so you smell it cooking all day, then make home-made corn bread to go with it. Yum!
Madi loves Micky Mouse Clubhouse too. We live 15 minutes from Disneyland so we go all the time with our passes. It is an obsession heeee!
I love rainy days and stuffing my face with yummy goodness. =) My favorite treat right this second is Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. Ooooohhhhh sooooo delicious. I am making it this Friday for our small group and I can't wait to devour it. I have been eyeing that new book...so pick me! =)
By far my favorite lately has been the cheerio bar (with leftover Halloween M&M's)
Melt: 3 T. Butter, 16 oz. marshmallows, and 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter. When melted stir in 5 cups cheerios and 1 cup m&m's. Put into greased 9x13 pan. Try not to eat the whole pan!
That books looks amazing, thanks for the opportunity to try and win a copy.
I love to bake, especially on rainy days. I love to make cookies and decorate each one differently with Royal Icing. It takes forever, but I think it's worth it. I have a really good recipe for cookies that don't spread out when you bake them and hold the cookie cutter shape you started with.
Hands down, peanut butter & pickle sandwhiches!
Love to make chocolate chip cookies or peanut butter cookies. And I always keep the ingredients on hand.
hot cheesy cauliflower soup and homemade rolls. now all i need is for it to be cold!:)
I love making banana bread on rainy days.
A rainy day for me means popcorn. I love to just sit and snuggle and eat some good popcorn read a book or watch a good movie or cartoon with my boys. :)
Hot herbal tea with honey and then I drip teddy bear cookies in there and eat them with a spoon. :) Or same with hot chocolate. Or cinnamon buns. Or ginger snaps. ANything spicy and warm.
I make my mother-in-law's albondigas (meatball) soup with fresh tortillas for lunch and have it later for dinner too. For a snack we love hot cocoa with tons of marshmallows and snuggle with a blanket and watch a movie.
I love rainy days...
Chocolate chip cookies :) yummy!
For me, rainy days call for good old fashioned bread pudding with a rich sauce.....ooooh, it's raining now, I should make some.
My fav thing to make is Chili in the crock pot!!! and some yummy rolls.
I LOVE ur blog!!!

I just made pumpkin bread & it was fantastic! Just love rainy days when there is nothing else to do but cozy up together & read, watch tv, bake, etc.
Love the pic Collin took of Avery. Very sweet how she's glancing back. Great job Cleetus!!! :D LOL Your Halloween pics were fun.
Rainy Day= tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

We actually made brownies and mini muffins on last night's rainy day! Lex and I love to make cookies decorate them, too. Makes to lots of fun.
I like to make home made beer cheese soup with popped popcorn in it. As far as deserts, just about anything that is chocolate. ice cream with lots of caramel on it, lately it's been pumpkin pie or pumpkin cobbler.
guess I should leave my name...

Hot chocolate, most definitely!
We love to make brownies on a rainy day! Avery is a doll-and such a great picture!
I love smores in the oven. They are so easy to make. Just wrap them in the oven to melt. yummy
Some kind of soup or stew simmering in the crock pot makes me feel warm and cosy!
These Ain't Yo Mama's Brownies...
1 box brownie mix, 1 can of vanilla frosting, 1/2 C salted peanuts, 2 C rice krispies, 1/2 C creamy peanut butter, and 1/4 C chocolate chips. Make brownies, let cool. Spread frosting on brownies, throw on the salted peanuts, then put in fridge. Melt peanut butter and chips in micro (about 30 secs), mix in rice krispies, take out brownies, spread krispies on top of frosting and chill for 10-15 min. Cut up and chow down!
On rainy days we like a simple tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches or my Dad's Chili recipe with cornbread. For a special rainy day treat the kids and I bake up some Pumpkin Spice muffins similar to the recipe you shared.
YUM!
Blessings,
Laurie U
I love anything warm and aromatic, like banana bread, apple pie, chocolate chip cookies...that does sound like an awesome cookie recipe though...
Sara
The best treat ever.. Here's what you do:
1. Make up a batch of peanut butter cookie dough - you can use a mix or any recipe that you love
2. Preheat the oven as you would for your cookies, and ball up the dough into teaspoon sized portions... But instead of putting them on a cookie sheet, put one ball of dough into a mini muffin tin!
3. Bake until golden brown, and when you pull them out of the oven, place a mini Reese's cup (don't forget to take off the wrapper!!) in the center.
This is the best little bite sized treat.. And make sure to make a lot because they go FAST!!
We love to make banana chocolate chip bread. Smells good, tastes good, and uses up our overripe bananas.
I'm not a big rainy day baker but when it snows, I bake and cook. I bake chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies and make soup every time. I live in VA so we dont' get a lot of snow. When we do, I like to be in the kitchen. And the soup is usually chicken rice or minestrone. NOW, I want it to snow!! And I am so excited to start my holiday baking and I want this book! Thanks for the chance.

Warm banana bread and cold milk. YUM! Thanks for the great giveaway, it looks really inspiring!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Cinnamon Strussel, and thanks to my husbands traditions... Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. Yummy
I like ANYTHING chocolate! In fact, just Sunday it was cold & yucky here in Ohio so my kids & I made some brownies....needless to say, those were gone yesterday already!
Thanks - Stacey
csfish@roadrunner.com
I like to make (and eat!) red velvet cupcakes ... not just on rainy days, but ANY day. :o)
pumpkin cookies from 'everyday foods' mag. i keep a bag in the freezer so i don't have to make them everytime i crave them!
It was raining here in Austin, Texas yesterday too!
And.. I choose to make Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins!
Yum.
What a beautiful picture of Avery. Thank you for sharing. My favorite thing to make is some sort of bread, either banana or pumpkin and also have a soup cooking in the crockpot. Nothing hits the spot like a hot cup of soup with a grilled cheese!!!
My daughter has those same kitty boots. She grew out of her other pair and I was lucky enough to find another pair, because that is what she was wanting. Who knows what would have happened if we could not have found another kitty pair. ;-)
Have a great day!!!
Tina
I am SUCH a cupcake girl! But I also love to bake brownies, cookies - anything that you can eat warm and gooey! I would LOVE to get my hands on that book!

Love to make cookies...especially chocolate chip with a cold glass of milk! YUM! Gotta try out the pumkin cookies recipe that you shared...seems way too easy??? Stacy M.
traditional chocolate chip cookies is the house favorite on a rainy day. and now that my daughter makes them all the time, they taste even better!!!
I do this pumpkin and spice cake mix and 1 cup of water and make them into muffins - they are wonderful!!!! (also, they are only one point on Weight Watchers - hopefully you don't have to worry about that!!)
Thanks for the opportunity!!
Chocolate chip pumpkin bread...yumm!
Homemade soup and bread is what I love on a rainy day!!

Homemade soup - reminds me of home, and my family. :)
I love making "No Bake Cookies" on rainy days. Something about the smell of chocolate, waiting for them to set, and listening to the rain just makes me feel good.
Although it's not very original my kids think rainy days mean hot cocoa + LOTS of marshmallows.
um...heck yes I want one!! My best indulgence ever is hot chocolate. Makes me toasty warm on a yucky cold day.
I love to make chili or a soup with homemade cheddar garlic biscuits. I love to bake anything I've got the ingredients for. Cobbler, cookies, banana bread, brownies, & apple crisp are my faves to bake.
Avery is adorable! I love her hat too! :) My hubby thinks her shoes are too cute! Our favorite treat on a rainy day is homemade hot cocoa :)
YUM! I saw this book in a magazine and want one real bad...but haven't ordered one. My favorite thing to bake on rainy days are breads and cookies!
:) Sharon T in Wyoming
I am a soup girl! Chicken chowder, corn chowder, clam chowder, chili, white chili, taco, chicken cheese bisque...I could go on. (My poor family!) Of course, after a yummy dinner, dessert is a must - Apple Crisp with vanilla ice cream is our latest fave!
Definitely brownies! Or maybe, chocolate chip cookies!
i would love to win that book! i like to make chocolate chip cookies on a rainy day.
This past cold and rainy day we baked chocolate chip cookies- yummo!
I love to make soup on cold, rainy days. Any kind of soup that will make the house smell yummy and feel warm and cozy!
Thought I'd get a chance to make some soup as fall weather finally arrived here in Southern California but then heard it will be 94 degrees this Fri & Sat so I guess the soup will have to wait. I guess I can make some pumpkin cookies instead. ;-)
I'm all about fresh, warm, chocolate chip cookies. I always eat at least one too many. (maybe two!)
Michelle
Fresh hot choclate chip cookies with a mug of hot chocolate!
In South Africa we love making "Pannekoek" on rainy days. It is a soft pancake you traditionally sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and roll up in a cigar shape. Lots of savoury and sweet fillings are also used. Yummy!

My favorite rainy day treat is Stephen's Mint Hot Chocolate! Yum! Hey, I am seriously impressed with your hubbies photo skills. I ask my husband to take a pic and our faces are not in it! How much would he charge?
I love to make chilli on cold rainy days! It just smells so nice in the house! Love my crockpot!
My girls love cinnamon rolls on cold rainy days! We have a great time making them together!
I make ginger snaps... a recipe from a good friend, spicy, chewy, warm. I think I'll go have one. I made them yesterday! :)
Anything warm and chocolate! Here in Phoenix, AZ we dont have that many rainy cold days, but when we do the chocolate must come out.
I love rice pudding from scratch-it is my favorite comfort food.
Chocolate Chip cookie bars - a favorite for my whole family!! Happy Fall!!
Christine
Hoemade soup, grilled cheese and oatmeal cookies!
I love baking chocolate chip cookies on a rainy day! And I'd love the details on that recipe for the pumpkin cookies!

I just love comfort food on a rainy day! I often make tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Those pictures of Avery are amazing! Trust me when I say kids grow up WAY too fast! My baby boy will be driving soon :( Where did the time go?!
As for rainy days, I love a cup of Yerba Mate Chai tea and a hot cinnomin bun or pumpkin bar. For dinner, Taco soup or Thai Red Curry Chicken, which is soup-like.
That book looks amazing and fun!
That does sound like an easy recipe. I'll have to try that one. Love to bake in the winter when it is so cold outside and warm and toasty with good smells going on...
Neat book. It looks yummy too.
Louise
Hot cocoa (with real milk and chocolate because on a rainy day I have time) with buttered cinnamon toast...it's not raining here now but I think I'm going to go make some anyway :)
I would have to say Brownies...MMMM!

On a rainy cold day I love to make chili and cornbread. As far as a treat...I make chocolate chip cookies or pumpkin bread with chocolate chips in it. YUM!!!!
Stove-top Chai lattes! yummo! Thanks, Anne
i love a crockpot full of deliciously steamy and cinnamony applesauce. it cooks down and smells the whole house up amazingly!
We like to eat WAFFELN MIT PUDERZUCKER (Waffles with powdered sugar) and sometimes even with whipped cream on top. LECKER!
And be sure, we have a lot of rainy days in Germany.
Darmstadt, Germany /Seattle USA
Rainy Days are my hubby's favorite time of the year! We actually make rice krispy treats dipped in dark chocolate with sprinkles! ...with a side of hot cocoa and marshmallows of course!
Our family's favorite thing to have for a rainy day is popcorn and a good movie.
Thanks for the chance to win such a great book!! Have a good day!
Kimberly Smith
ummmm....my two FAVORITE things! Paper crafts and baking! Fun rainy day treats: chocolate covered pretzels. My kiddos love putting a crazy amount of sprinkles on them.
i like to "make" fire roasted tomato soup... and by make i mean drive to paradise bakery & get some, because it is the best soup evah!
My girls and I love to make Chocolate Chip cookies. So on a rainy day we make cookies and watch Goonies. Gotta Love It!!
Warm Chocolate Chip cookies with vanilla ice cream on top!!! YUM!
Absolutely adorable photo of Avery. Kudos to Collin.
I am trying to lose weight right now so I try not to make dessert. If i could I would make white chocolate macadamia nut cookies or a dessert that my grandma makes called "quick dessert" obviously it's quick to make.
My favorite treat on a rainy day is hot herbal tea. I love to fill my teapot with hot water, throw in some hot loose green tea, and enjoy multiple cups of yummy tea while I'm cozy inside my house.
tomato soup and grilled cheese!!!! Yum-o!
hot chocolate! and toast with butter. dont forget to dip it in the hot chocolate! yum!
Nothing better than snickerdoodles!!! I love the Lion House recipe...they always come out perfect and there are plenty to share with the neighbors too! :) Love your blog - I think you're fabulous. I went into Pebbles several times while you worked there - I love that store!
honestly i am a awful cook---but at home on a rainy day there are 2 things i will or can make...homemade buns and i know this sounds pathetic but.....jello!!! love the nee photos...she is just too cute--ad cletus does a darn good job!
Hi! I can't wait for it to start raining in So. Cal....if that ever happens! I love getting all cozy on the couch wrapped up in a blanket with some yummy Chai Tea from Trader Joe's!
Apple tea cake is absolutly the best thing to make. There's nothing like a moist buttery cake infused with delicious stewed apples and sprinkled with a layer of cinnamon sugar, a cup of tea ( or hot chocolate), and a good book to make the most of a rainy afternoon. Best of all the mixture only takes about 5-10 minutes to make. Gotta love easy cooking.
It's raining here today and when I get home from work, I just may make this childhood treat with my kids...when I was little, my mom used to put peanut butter and marshmallows ontop of a slice of bread and then lightly roast/bake them in the oven so that the mallows get a bit brown, and the bread gets toasty. It's heaven and takes me back to age 8.
I want one, it looks delicious!
Great pictures! Me? I love cookies, fresh ones, on a rainy day...wait, I like them every day!
I love to make SOUP or Chili on a rainy day. I have this book on my wishlist already!
chocolate chip cookies of course!
Cookies and a cup of hot tea. Yummy sweetness on a rainy, yucky day!!

I love to make Santa Fe/Taco Soup: Don't have the receipe in front of me but it goes something like this:
1 lb ground meat brown with a onion.
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can corn (drained)
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 small packet of dry taco seasoning

Serve with crushed tortialla chips,shredded cheddar cheese and a dap of sour cream on top.
So Yummy!
Carly craftiegal @ CKMB
I don't really make anything special on rainy days. I just light a candle, turn off all the lights and enjoy the sound and smell of the rain. Thanks for the giveaway. Love your blog!
Homemade mac and cheese! Martha Stewart style. How can you go wrong with Martha?
my fav of course, snickerdoodles!
I love to make brownies on a rainy day and a batch of ham & northern bean soup (quite the combination) but I guess it reminds me of my grammy!
OH GOOD GRIEF!!! How can I possibly compete with these women for this book?!? Doesn't it just warm your heart to know that so many people read your blog?! How about how incredibly talented these women are?!!! Wow is all I can say. Now here is my stab---> We like to make Cracker Sweets. This is horrible but I am going to tell you a secret! We call it "Crack"! Two reasons; one, it is short for cracker but mostly, two, you can't stop eating it!!! Don't eat these if you care about your thighs. That or go for a run with your studly hubby. (I have one of those too, he played professional soccer - yea that makes my knees weak, and I have to smack my girlfriends chins back up whenever he walks into the room. (I couldn't leave them alone with him, they would maul him! not really, they are trust worthy!) The funny part is he has NO IDEA he is so cute!!) Anyway these are not just plain fattening, they are SOUTHERN FATTENING! (For those of you who don't know what I mean, come on to Kentucky or Mississippi & I'll give ya'll a quick tour - we have FRIED Twinkies on a stick here girl!!)Anyway, hope I gave you enough of a chuckle to reward me with the book and a good recipe to fatten you up if not!
Cracker Sweets:
2 sticks BUTTER, 1C sugar, 1-2 sleeves saltine crackers, 6oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips, 6oz. peanut butter chips.
Preheat oven to 400*. Line Jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Line paper with cracker squares & set aside. In pan on stove, melt 2 sticks of Butter (not margarine) with 1cup of white sugar stir together with wood spoon. Bring to a boil and keep there for 3 minutes stirring CONSTANTLY. Take off heat and pour over crackers. Spread to coat. Place pan in oven for 7 minutes. Take our and let sit 1 minute. Sprinkle chips over pan. Let sit a miute or two and spreat melted chips over all. Put in fridge for 30 minutes or more. Take out and break apart to eat!
ENJOY!
Oh, what a perfect combo ... food and paper crafting!
Love to make my Hot Chocolate Extraordinaire on rainy days!
Our family all likes something different! I just tried the pumpkin cookies you mentioned and now I'm addicted!
However, I like popcorn! My kids like cupcakes and no-bake cookies, and my hubby loves hot out of the oven chocolate chip cookies! I like to make them all for them but eat popcorn!
goombars - they are gooey chocolate bars with chocolate chips and carmel oozing through them!! Yummy!! :)
My fave treat to make is peanut butter cookies or anything with frosting. Mmmmm...sugar.
Chocolate chip cookie bars...so quick and simple.
mmmmmm - chocolate chip cookies - dripping warm chocolate gooey goodness. I honestly love rainy days and no rainy day is complete without warm fresh chocolatey heaven. mmmmmmmm.
I love to make banana bread! Yum! Thanks for the chance!! :)
OOOh! So many tastytreats! I love to try new recipes on rainy days. i love warming the house with the smell of something new and exciting!
Chicken tortilla soup! Nothing like warm soup on a cold, rainy day.
I'm all about the COMFORT FOOD on a rainy day...cuddling up with a nice hot cup of chai, or a steaming bowl of my mom's beef stew or some homemade mac and cheese. Something about that kind of weather just makes me want to cook for hours!!
Homemade soup! Beef barley especially!
Awww! I know what you mean by Avery growing up to fast! My little Annie is getting too big...so is little Jesse! I loved your rainy day photos!
We had just such a day yesterday.. Hot carmel apple pie...THat hit the spot!!
