guarnito/sundae
While a large majority of schools just started back to school this month, we have been in session since August. Regardless of the specific time, one thing is for sure. Schedules become crazy and family time tends to dwindle fast. It is a hard thing to manage.
G isn’t with me full time, but one thing we do is stay in touch throughout the week, grab dinner, and check each others homework. I know, I am not in school anymore, so what’s my homework? G makes sure I leave work before the witching hour with his texts (“Ma, leaving FB. U better not still b @ wk!), reminds me about my blog posts, as well as my regularly scheduled “good morning” texts to him. Ha! Kids. Even though he and I try to keep our routine flowing, it is tough.
So, I liked the idea behind the Nestle Toll House Back-to-school kit. Nestle Toll House shares new ideas, and gives a reason to bake, bringing people together. A family that bakes together, makes memories together, right?!
While I was tempted to go with the Football Cookies, I thought the The Ice Cream Sundae Nestle®Toll House® Cookies seemed pretty fun. Don’t you?

And, they were fun. The boys loved them. Me? ehh….I am not a good judge since I don’t like chocolate chip cookies and that, in essence, makes up the cookie. The extra add ins pushed the cookies to be the ice cream sundae level. So, if you like chocolate chip cookies, you’ll like these. Personally? I think the cookies would be great if used as the cookie part of an ice cream sandwich! Brilliant, right?

You don’t like chocolate chip cookies? You Mother did not bring you up right…
The world is coming to an end, that is why I NEED that nestle Toll House back to school kit!
LOL I know, Barb…I am weird. I think its because I can’t eat chocolate so my tastes have changes over the years.
the school kit would allow me to make cookies with my family and take them for treats to school.
It would be great for friends and school. Just be sure to check the rules and regs at the school! (its the teacher in me…new rules everywhere)

It is so important for families to spend more time together. What better place than the kitchen. I just became a follower of your on twitter.
Eliana….a family that cooks together….;)
I also just tweeted about your contest.
I would love to win a back to school kit so I can bake cookies with my good friends Katie and Andrew.

Well….I am not supposed to bake so much in the house because my husband will consume whatever my girls and I make, but we can’t help it. We would make what we call “garbage cookies” where each of us chooses a mix-in and do a tasting. (Then we hide them from Dad
!)
Tara! Thanks for taking a moment to comment. I love the idea of garbage cookies! Tasty trash!
