It’s My Birthday and I’ll Give YOU presents if I want to
Yes sir, today is my birthday. Well, that’s a white lie. It was actually on August 24th but due to the state of health in my household, I spent 6 hours in the ER with my little angels on my birthday. Everyone is finally feeling healthy again. So, I say today is my birthday because we are finally going to celebrate my birthday tonight. Good friends, good food, healthy kids and….cocktails. I was fine skipping my birthday this year but Ryan insists I get one year older. Meanie.

Post #5: Heather: Ok….I over boiled water. Or I burnt the toast. Ha ha!!!!! I really enjoyed your new blog. Love it!!! Can’t wait to try out the recipes.
Post #9: Shannon: I would have to say mine would be when I was making coffee cake at my moms for Christmas morning. Apparentely I didn’t bake the coffee cake long enough so the inside was all gooey! Oh well, we could still eat the outside:) I love your blog Jess and can’t wait to make some of those yummy dishes. Love ya!
Post #13: Ginger: Ah, I love silpats!
My biggest kitchen disaster in recent memory was when I misread a recipe and whipped egg whites with the sugar instead of by themselves for a big baking project. I didn’t want to risk messing up the whole thing so I ended up dividing four more eggs and starting over.
Aside from the waste in yolks, it turned out ok cause I baked the original egg whites/sugar into meringues!
CONGRATULATIONS LADIES! You’re my first ever giveaway winners. Sheesh, I’ve got a tear in my eye….

Silpat Giveaway!
Well, it’s here. My mommy/cooking blog! Oh my gosh. I’m nervous. What if no one likes it? What if people think my recipes are junk?! What if I spent all these hours pouring my recipes and rants online and no one will ever look at them? EVER!?! It’s too much pressure!
So, I’m resorting to the last true tool a mommy has to guarantee her kids listen. Bribery.
That’s right, I’m gonna reel you in. Here’s my bait, people. I’m giving away 3 silpat baking sheets in honor of my new site being all grown up and out there for the world to see!
First off, if you don’t know what “silpats” are, then you are more in need of my blog than ever. They will change your life…for baking. You can do a million things with them. Make cookies, bake veggies, make cinnamon rolls, use them as a blanket. Ok, that last one I only tried once after a long night of baking and I was just going to close my eyes on the kitchen floor for five minutes, so stop judging me Ryan—-sorry.
I’m just saying these baking mats are a must for your kitchen. Which is why I am giving them away.
Here’s how it works. You add a comment below in response to this question:
“What is the biggest kitchen disaster/mistake you’ve ever made?”
Three winners will be selected from the comments, utilizing the “true random number generator” at random.org and announced Sunday afternoon.
And now, I’ll get the ball rolling with my biggest kitchen disaster story ever. Enjoy:
