If you are the kind of baker who doesn’t make a mess in the kitchen, then shield your eyes from the HORROR!
I really try to clean as I go when I bake, but today I was multitasking and making a bunch of different desserts at once, eating lunch and talking with my mom and grandma, so cleaning wasn’t a priority.
Snacking on enough dough to cause me to go into a sugar coma apparently was a priority.
Hello, S’mores Cookie Bars!
But the baking is nearly done! Only one more batch of cookies to go!
I’m also in the middle of prepping the sweet potato casserole for tomorrow.
I am following this recipe from Cooking Light and it’s one of my all-time favorites. My sister and I made it for our Friendsgiving feast and it was a hit so we’re making it again!
Along with tons of baking, today was also filled with lots of crafting.
Turkey Trot hats are nearly done! They just need some feathers.
Back into the kitchen I go!

Those hats are too cute! I should really think about dressing up for a Turkey Trot! I am running one in St. Pete tomorrow, and I have never dressed up for it! Hmm…. 🙂
I want those smores bars!! Looks yummy!
I’m running a turkey trot tomorrow, also, and wish I had had the forethought to put together an adorable costume!
Kate’s kitty sounds like SUCH a sweetheart!!
Thank god you just posted this recipe, as I still (up until a minute ago) had no idea what I’d be making for my “dessert” tomorrow. Thanks again!
Those hats are too adorable! I can’t wait to see your costumes tomorrow!
Those hats are great Julie!!! Very creative! Your baking sounds delicious. If you ever need someone to test out the batter, I’m your girl! 😉

I’m definitely a messy baker…it drives my mom insane! 😀
Yum! What a great recipe! I wonder what it would look like with a touch of Nutella ^^
Love the turkey trot hats! I fully believe in making a huge mess in the kitchen. I don’t think I can bake without making a huge mess!
O_O I love smores anything…that will be the highlight of your meal- i’m calling it.
Love the hats and the idea of a turket trot!
I had no idea -before reading blogs- that american thanksgiving was such a big deal… Canadian thanksgiving is just a day off work!
Love the Turkey Trot hats! Haha 😀
Those hats are TOO cute. From the brief snippets, it looks like you’re a cleaner baker than I am!
You are getting tons accomplished! And loving those hats!!
Those hats are adorable! The dessert looks great too.

I am e-mailing Meredith pictures of Willow now! I cannot wait for the portrait, and will have to e-mail a picture of it 🙂
Thank you again Julie!
All baked goods taste better when you’ve made a mess in the kitchen. Chaos must be linked to flavour somehow 🙂
What a perfect winner! That’s so amazing!
You had me at the word s’mores. I must make that. And I can’t wait to see the entire turkey trot costume. It’s so fun to see it come together.
I can totally relate – one of the reasons why I don’t bake much is because I end up making a total mess! And those Turkey Trot hats look so freaking adorable.
My kitchen looked the same this afternoon! I’m glad I’m not the only one that over-did it on the sugary samples today! I was thinking “Ah, why did I eat so much the day before Thanksgiving?!” haha Oh well too late now! 😉
Can’t wait to see that outfit! I just finished making 3 side dishes for tomorrow and my husband came home in the middle of it all and was like “what HAPPENED in here?” haha Oops.
Oh my gosh those hats are adorable!!
And don’t worry, my kitchen looked about the same today!
S’more bars??…or any kind of smores which don’t require camping- oh my!
I love those Turkey hats! Have a great Thanksgiving!
I am SO messy when I attempt to cook and even more so when I bake! S’mores bars sound awesome!!
That looks exactly like a scene out of my kitchen even when I’m not multitasking like mad! It’s an illness I think! 😉 I’m actually incapable of keeping it tidy! Ha! Happy thanksgiving! 🙂
There is no way I can ever be clean while in the kitchen. I’m the sloppiest cook/baker!! Everything looks yum. Those hats are super cute!
