Hey Sexy,
Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving. And you know what that means. Already, my house is a frenzy of grocery lists and oven plans. Family is coming in. The kitchen is crowded. Everyone loves a different kind of pie. And there’s a turkey in my sink.
But I don’t mind. I love feeding people. Hosting dinners and trying out new recipes is one of my favorite things to do. I feel vibrantly alive whenever I can turn my house into a home for someone else.
So, When Mrs. T came to me with an idea for her photoshoot, I knew we were meant to work together. She too, loves baking. Loves to love on others with gifts of cookies and cakes. But she also felt like baking was more than something she enjoyed doing. It was a part of who she was.
Immediately, I knew what we were going to do. Cookies. My favorite cookies. After all, what could be better than amazing pictures and desserts? And since it is such a wonderful idea, I thought I’d preview some of our images and give you the recipe for my favorite chocolate chip cookies!
