Move Over Starbucks

Move over Starbucks because I no longer have a need for your Peppermint Mocha drinks anymore. I have found something else to keep me warm in a delicious peppermint-Mocha flavor.  What have I found, these AMAZING COOKIES By the company Come Get Your Cookies.

I went to the grocery store on the way home from a day of beach fun to pick up some yogurts for snacks at work. I walked by the display of cookies from Come Get Your Cookies and the cute shape and beautiful color of all the cookies caught my eye. I looked over each bag reading the names of the unique cookie flavors I had never tried before.  They have cookies called "Hot Flash" which include the flavors of maple, bacon, and Tabasco,  another one that caught my eye was the Strawberry-Basil cookie. Knowing I HAD to try a bag of these cookies I stumbled upon the "Peppermint-Mocha" cookie. They are cute and pink and I am already in the holiday spirit so I thought that bag would be the perfect one to try.

After one bite, I was hooked. I've had 4 of them in the course of about 8 minutes.... They remind me of the Peppermint Mocha Starbucks beverage that everyone LOVES during the holiday season. These cookies would make a GREAT gift sitting in a cute Christmas mug (like the one I have pictured here that I found at Home Goods this season), or a perfect pick me up during a long work day, or just a yummy little piece of heaven to eat after dinner.

Here is the discription of the Peppermint Mocha cookie from their website: "These Cookies are off the Chart. If you’re on Santas Nice list you deserve these cookies, If you’ve been put on Santa’s Naughty list you deserve these more than ever! These cookies are a blend of Cocoa and just the right amount of Peppermint chips for that Christmas Cheer. Try these and share share share. It’s better to give than to receive. No, Really!

Ho Ho Ho.. These are seasonal so come and get your cookies."

I don't know where they are sold near you, but never fear, click HERE and you will be taken to their website for you to explore all of the wonderful cookie selections they offer.  They are $8 a bag and if the rest of their flavors are as good as their Peppermint Mocha, then trust me, they are worth it.


Here's a little cookie wonderfulness to feed your eyes on:

Here's what the package looks like (I had already opened it...hence my hand holding the bag together). 

The good stuff. The Peppermint Mocha Cookies....

I ate these two right after I took this picture. They are too good to resist. 

Happy Birthday Hubby

Yesterday was my husband's birthday! Luckily I am on Spring Break so I was able to surprise him a bit.



I created a wall of balloons on our bedroom door for The Hubs to find.


I decorated the counter of our Kitchen and put balloons in the office. I also taped one red balloon to the inside lid of the toilet. HA! I didn't get a photo of it thought.


SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



Discovering all the birthday surprises. (I put balloons on top of the toilet too). The last photo.... he discovered the balloon taped to the toilet and threw it at me. HA!


Going out for birthday lunch!



Present time! Sammy and Pudge were very interested in the hubby's presents. Possibly hoping for a treat for them? Yeah, I think so! I bought the Hubby a shirt he wanted and a pair of sunglasses. They are his favorite pair and he had the same exact ones before but lost them on a business trip. He was so bummed especially since they don't make this style anymore. Well, I found some and bought them, he was VERY happy!


Cake and cookie time, both made from scratch. How much do you love these candles? The flames match the color of the candles.
