Creme Brulee AND Oatmeal Cookies

Tonight Bob really upped the ante and made two desserts. Creme Brulee and Oatmeal Cookies. But he didn't just make one batch of oatmeal cookies, because with six children, everyone has their own preferences. So, for Joey, he made oatmeal raisin, for John, Will, Mary and Kate he made oatmeal chocolate chip and for me, he made oatmeal pecan. Yum!

Bob's Chocolate Cream Pie

About a month ago, Bob and I started doing a parenting segment on the radio. It was during Lent, and the host, Pete O'shea had given up chocolate. So, waiting until after Easter, Bob made Pete his favorite pie.
