Since it is Monday, I thought I’d share this picture of Cookie’s first bath this winter, which was far overdue…
Dear my eight readers (family members, Jordan and Jes),
I promise I’ll start posting more soon. I’m busy trying to set up my blog the way I want it (on its own domain, cookieandkate.com!). So far, I’ve been thoroughly confused, but I seem to be creeping forward. I can’t wait til I get all this technical mumbo jumbo straightened out so I can focus on writing and photographing. CSS, CMS, wordpress… I need a drink.
On another note, how was your weekend? I spent Saturday afternoon buying a domain name and an amazing pair of shoes, then tried to set up the domain name while wearing said shoes. On Sunday, I ate at Hideaway Pizza with my family and had a pleasant afternoon in Edmond. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
Vegetable enthusiast. Dog lover. I'm probably making a big mess in my Kansas City kitchen right now.

Poor Cookie….. I just came across your site last night and have really enjoyed reading and looking at all the wonderful things you have on here. I have two dogs myself. Rewey the ornery Blue Heeler, who is believe it or not a girl, even though everyone always says, “HE’s so cute!” Then there is Kawliga our Husky Catahoula mix. Listen to the Hank Williams song, Kawliga if you have a hard time with the pronunciation.)
You can see them here http://www.flickr.com/photos/69697252@N06/6499715705/in/photostream/
Anyways, I made breakfast for dinner last night which is how I came across your site. Your Banana Oat Pancakes are some of the best pancakes I’ve ever made, and my husband said they were the best hes ever had! So kudos to you, I look forward to reading more!

What a gorgeous photo of your two dogs! They look like quite a pair. Everyone thinks Cookie is a boy, too. “He’s so cute! What kind of dog is he?!” I reassure her that she’s a lovely lady when we get home. ;)
So glad you loved the banana pancakes! I could eat those every morning, I think. Thank you for the sweet comment.

Love your site and recipes.
I am a widower living with my 12 year old Puggle who looks in some ways a bit like Cookie. I found your site a while ago and my heart broke when I saw Cookie had been hit by a car. Cookie is so cute. More images of Cookie would not hurt. Keep up the great work.

She is doing great now! I will let cookie know she has another fan.
