Cookies for Dad

June 17, 2020 Floured ApronLeave a comment

It’s been a few minutes since I’ve posted anything. I haven’t done much baking. It’s one of the things I love most but my heart just hasn’t been in it. I don’t have to remind you of all the things 2020 has been full of. Too many moments of sadness and heartbreak and not knowing what I should do or how to explain any of this to my 13 year old. Deep, heavy, terrifying stuff.

My family is still in quarantine mode. We don’t go to public places except the grocery store or to pick up something here and there. We do fit in some biking and hiking whenever we can when the trails aren’t too crowded. We’re not taking trips or visiting family and friends. It has been challenging but I’m still convinced we’re doing our part to help save lives.

The past few months have been full of ups and downs. Now, it’s mid-June, school’s out for the summer, and we have no travel/vacation plans. It just doesn’t feel like a typical summer. Except that Father’s Day is this weekend and that feels timely and normal.

I usually mail gifts to all of the dads in my life because they live in other states. My dad lives in Tennessee and he loves it when I send homemade baked goods. I decided Father’s Day is a good time for me to get out of my no baking rut, dust off my mixer and put my heart into baking something for my dad.

He really loves peanut butter cookies. So simple but they’re one of his favorites, along with a big glass of cold milk. Once, I sent him a box of gifts for his birthday and stuck one of those blue tins inside that are filled with Danish butter cookies. I remembered him loving those when I was a kid. His wife told me he was super excited when he opened the box of gifts and saw the tin. She said his whole body sank when he took off the lid and they weren’t my cookies! Here I thought I was getting him one of his favorites and he prefers mine! Ha! She said he said, “Store bought!? I don’t want those!”

Don’t worry, Dad because homemade Peanut butter cookies are on their way! I’m sharing my recipe below. It’s the same recipe for Peanut Butter Blossoms, you just skip pressing them with a fork and top them with chocolate kisses when they come out of the oven. They’re quick and easy to make and all the special dads, grandpas, bonus dads, husbands, sons, friends and neighbors will devour them!

Making these cookies for my dad lifted my spirits. Baking centers me. It fills my soul with joy and that’s just what I needed. Make these and bring a little feel good into your day. Wishing all the dads a happy Father’s Day! If you are lucky enough to be with yours, hug him extra tight and enjoy every moment!

From the heart,
Shannon

Christmas Cookie Swap

December 15, 2019 Floured ApronLeave a comment

Hi! I hope your holiday activities are bringing you lots of joy and very little stress!

A few weeks ago, I sent a quick message to a handful of friends I haven’t seen in a while to see if they’d be available for a Christmas Cookie Swap. The cookie part was really just an excuse to get us together, eat snacks, have a couple drinks and catch up. Of course, I was excited when most of them could make it and was super excited to see what kinds of cookies they’d bring!

It means the world to me to get time with friends and I don’t do it nearly enough. When I do, I’m so grateful for the time and laughs! I made a few savory appetizers including a cheese board and these little Greek bites. Easy and cute!

59803846446__E1929DDD-26F6-4EFD-8E6D-A6D1C1940255

I also whipped up Holiday Cheermeister Bourbon Punch from one of my favorite bloggers, Half Baked Harvest. It was delicious and the perfect holiday cocktail! I didn’t get a picture but there are lots on HBH’s site. Trust me, it’s beautiful and it goes down real nice!

My cookie for the evening was a Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chip cookie. Hannah introduced me to these a few weeks ago. They’re one of my new favorite cookies! You can find the recipe here on Baker by Nature’s site. Please add these to your cookie recipe files! Also, I think Santa would be quite grateful to have one or two of these on Christmas Eve!

The cookies my friends brought were AMAZING!

Snickerdoodles. Seriously, so good! I always thought Snickerdoodles were thin and crispy. These were fluffy and chewy and I ate way too many! No I didn’t!

Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. I’ve never had these before and have always found them to be so pretty. They’re beautiful and they didn’t disappoint on flavor! Chocolatey and gooey!

Traditional Almond Biscotti. These just feel special! I had a quick bite last night but really enjoyed two of these with my coffee this morning. Light and perfect for dunking and the anise flavor makes them divine! What a treat!

Red Velvet Thumbprints. Come on!!! They taste as good as they look! I love how pretty these are! So festive and yummy! Again, Santa would be grateful for these on his/her plate!

Pretty neat, huh? I had a great time with the exception of missing a few gals who couldn’t join. When I got the wheels in motion to host this, I found all kinds of ways on Pinterest to do a Cookie Swap/Exchange. I kept this simple. Everyone made 7 dozen cookies and showed up. We had snacks, drinks and then filled our containers and shared a little about why we chose our cookies and/or where the recipes came from. Some of these are Grandma’s recipes! I love that!

It’s a busy time and I’m so grateful I got to spend some of it with dear friends! Thanks for showing up, ladies, and sharing your cookie creations!

From the heart,
Shannon

Gingerbread Cupcakes

December 7, 2019December 7, 2019 Floured ApronLeave a comment

Here we are at the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, I love all the Christmas things: trees, lights, stockings, nutcrackers, cookies, candy, hot cocoa, family time, fun get togethers, wrapping and giving presents. All the good stuff. It can also get overwhelming and stressful (remind me to tell you about my meltdown over not being able to find my mini gingerbread cookie cutter sometime). I try to not fall into the chaos but there are moments when it doesn’t feel like everything on my list will get finished. Anyone else?

Holiday baking is usually at the top of that long list! It’s in full swing at my house. One of the amazing things about holiday baking for me is that the flavors and smells can transport me to a wonderful memory of a person or place, and make me feel happy, cozy and loved. These Gingerbread Cupcakes are no stranger to incredible flavor and they fill the air with the most delightful smell while they’re baking.

When I was selling baked goods, Gingerbread Cupcakes were one of my most requested holiday orders. Why wouldn’t they be? The cake is a perfectly spiced, molasses and brown sugar concoction of goodness. Then there’s the rich, tangy cinnamon cream cheese frosting. To top it all off is a sweet little gingerbread cookie! So charming and incredibly delicious! You don’t have to choose between a cookie and a cupcake. Have BOTH! You’re welcome!

I know I always say this but it’s mostly why I love to bake. These cupcakes make great gifts! Teachers, neighbors, hair stylists, and friends will be thrilled with such a fun treat. The day I made these, I ran some out to our mail carrier and she was pleasantly surprised and excited to dig in! I also took some to a friend who’s recovering from surgery. It just so happened, she was feeling a little down that day. I opened the box and six of these adorable fellas were smiling at her and she smiled right back! Bake people happy! Yes!

Let’s get going on making these! The cupcakes include lots of gingerbread spices, eggs, molasses, brown sugar, butter, flour and baking soda (not pictured–water).

You don’t even need a mixer to whip these up! It can all be done by hand. Melt the butter. Have I ever mentioned we don’t own a microwave? I melt my butter double-boiler style.

Combine the molasses, brown sugar, eggs and melted butter in a mixing bowl.

Daisy Mae heard me whisking and ran into my “photo studio” to see if I needed help! Sweet beagle!

Combine the flour, spices, baking soda and salt and add to the wet ingredients. Lots of spices in these! I don’t like a bland gingerbread anything. I want to taste all the spices!

The finished batter will be gooey and smell amazing! Breathe it all in!

Line the cupcake pan and fill. I like to use an ice cream scoop to fill to make them all even. It’s easier too! Once the pan is full, bake them and let them cool completely.

Time to make the frosting. I didn’t get a picture of the ingredients before I started mixing. I was a little eager to get these finished so I could eat one! It’s just a basic cream cheese frosting with the addition of cinnamon. My version is included in the recipe below.

Tip: Before I add the cinnamon, I scoop a little out into a small baggie to use for the gingerbread cookies. It’s easy to pipe and I don’t have to make another kind of frosting.

Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes and top each one with a little gingerbread cookie.

As soon as I put these together, I smile! They truly bring me joy and what could be better than that during this season of hustle and bustle? These guys aren’t in any hurry and I could take a lesson from them!

Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe how wonderful these cupcakes are. Make them, eat them (while guzzling a cup of coffee) and share them. I promise you’ll be energized to finish all the items on your to-do list! You might even accomplish all the tasks with a smile on your face!

From the heart,
Shannon

Week 4: Exceeding our goal AND a sneak peek at Rosie!

March 20, 2015March 20, 2015 Floured ApronLeave a comment

Hello! Wow! At this exact minute, Kickstarter site shows 40 hours remain on our campaign. Yikes! We did it, everyone! I’m so excited and overwhelmed and can’t wait to get out there and bake my heart away! Our progress went quickly and all the support and words of encouragement have made this such an amazing experience!

Today, I went to visit Noah at American Vintage Camper. I have been dying to see Rosie and want to share all the details with you! I didn’t really know what to expect but I’m happy with where she is and the plans for the next couple weeks! Noah told me she will get her beautiful black and white floor tiles today and he’s ready to start covering the exterior and she’ll head to the painter late next week. I am in the process of ordering all the equipment so Noah can install all the good stuff! We are really rolling!

This is Noah, the master builder! (sorry it’s a little blurry)

Here’s Rosie! This is the service window side.

I had to climb in and get my picture! Oh my gosh, so amazing! This will be super fun!

Here’s a view of the other side. We’ll have a little door on this side.

Here’s one more from a different angle of that side.

Seriously, how cute is she? I can’t wait to see the next phase and share it with you! I’ll be putting together all the Kickstarter reward info and thank you pages over the next week along with finalizing details for community events I want to be part of. I am so happy you are part of this, thank you!

Week 2: Beyond amazing + Rosie’s sweet name!

March 6, 2015 Floured ApronLeave a comment

It’s the end of week 2 and we are 89% funded! See our pan filling up? I am so excited! No, I’m WAY past excited! This has been a magnificent ride!

I am surprised every time I see a new backer. It’s remarkable that many of the backers are people I know, people I haven’t seen for many years and some are people I haven’t met. What continues to blow me away are the number of generous, kind hearts out there and it’s an incredible feeling to be part of this Floured Apron family! It’s not just the financial generosity. It’s everything from the sweet texts, Facebook and email messages to people I run into and give me a hug and say, “I’m behind you–this is so neat!” to all those who’ve given their hard-earned money. I will NEVER forget this feeling as long as I live. It’s difficult to put into words. Please know I’m touched and enlightened by every single piece of this adventure. Okay, enough sappy stuff…let’s move on…

Rosie. I’ve been asked many times how we came up with that name. She just looks like a Rosie, doesn’t she?

During the initial discussions with the craftsmen at American Vintage Camper, I mostly talked about what I wanted to do with the camper and what style I was fond of. I was crystal clear on the design and size and function. It wasn’t until I stood inside a model of one that I realized the camper was so much more than a hunk of wood and metal.

I gave my new friend at AVC a check, we shook hands and he began building. I got in my car and started the 2 hour drive home. I was full of excitement and fear and every emotion in between! It dawned on me that this camper would be part of our family (totally crazy!). As I drove, I realized I wanted a better name than “this camper bakery thing”. I thought and thought and thought. I had a few ideas and then the name Rosie came to me. It had some meaning, so I held onto it for a bit to make sure that was the best name. I wanted to get this right.

We are big Cincinnati Reds baseball fans and Rosie Red, one of the mascots, has been a long time favorite! We have baseball caps adorned with her stylish autograph, we seek her out at games to say hi and grab a hug and just think she’s super classy and really fun! I mean, look at that cute skirt, those eyelashes and that big smile! Love her!

The roses on our logo were intentionally part of the design. We love roses for several reasons.

To pay tribute to our Cincinnati roots and the meaning and fondness for roses, Rosie seemed like the BEST NAME EVER! It’s sort of retro, it’s cheerful and lighthearted. All good things.

I ran the idea past the Floured Apron leadership team (Casey, Hannah and Carrie) and they were on board immediately! It was unanimous that our new family member would definitely be named Rosie! YAY!

I can feel myself beam every time I say her name! Try it…Rosie! You have to say it quickly with a little pep in your voice…Rosie! I bet you’re smiling!

Until Rosie is up and rolling, let’s keep making progress to our funding goal! Thank you, again, for your unconditional support and please keep sharing! Here’s the link. Let’s make the next 15 days count!

Week 2 (almost): AMAZING!

March 5, 2015 Floured Apron2 Comments

What an AMAZING week! We are 57% to our goal (a little ahead of the two week mark)!

In the last update I shared so many kind words from many of our backers. This week I’d like to share a private message I received from one of our new backers:

“More than happy to back floured apron I didn’t get to tell you but your frosting is the only frosting I’ve ever had that tastes like my grandmas, which made me really happy. Super corny but I jut wanted you to know!! I was honestly so excited and taken aback, sure do miss her! I had the blueberry lemon and I can’t remember what the other white one was I think raspberry in the middle! “

This captures the true essence of what I love about baking and why I am so excited to get out there and share with as many people as I can!

Bake people happy…Rosie can’t get here soon enough!

Thanks to all of you for your support! I know we can reach our goal! Please keep sharing and please know your generosity means the world to me! xoxo

Week 1: Happy Campers!

February 27, 2015February 27, 2015 Floured Apron1 Comment

Today marks one week since we launched our Kickstarter project. We are 31% funded! Woo hoo! If you had told me a week ago that I’d spend every single day in tears, I wouldn’t believe it. Happy tears. Tears of gratitude. Tears of tremendous joy. Thank you is not enough!

Friends and family and people I don’t yet know have touched me this week in many ways. I am going to share what is probably too much info. What the heck? We are all human and I find life to be one big learning opportunity so, here goes.

Since moving my oldest daughter to college in North Carolina and, immediately after, moving the rest of us from Cincinnati to NE Ohio, I have struggled. I felt lost and alone and wondered what my purpose was in this world. I had feelings of sadness that I wasn’t prepared for. We faced many challenges moving into our house, I missed my daughter terribly and I had no idea how to restart my baking business in an area where I didn’t really know anyone. All of that coupled with trying to adjust to not working at the corporate job I’d had for my entire adult life, left me confused and, for the first time in my life, not certain about anything.

That was a little over a year ago and those first several months were filled with many not so happy tears. My plan was to establish and run Floured Apron in our new location. Unfortunately, I had no idea how hard it would be to start over! Fortunately, all the things I was trying that weren’t working, lead me to ideas that I hoped would work.

I realized I’d have to approach the model very differently than the home based model I was doing in Cincinnati. So, I picked up some courage and got out there. I introduced myself to people and shared my baked goods. One connection quickly lead to three more and, before I knew it, I was starting to envision a plan.

The plan was that I had to get the business out of my home and into the community. Storefront? Food truck? I spent weeks researching and analyzing all the options. I was looking at food trucks online and found a picture of a camper that was renovated into a darling camper that was used to sell baked goods. My obsession began! I knew I had to have one and that it was the perfect way to share Floured Apron with others! I wanted it but had no idea how to get it since money was already tight.

I agonized over the decision to build a camper/mobile bakery thing. That decision meant I’d need to make a significant financial commitment. I had feelings of guilt and was full of turmoil inside. How could I do this? How can I justify us not taking another vacation or saying no to doing things we want to do, just to focus on my business? I, me, mine…It wasn’t just about ME and MY business. The work and development of Floured Apron was a family effort. This wasn’t just my dream. It was our dream and what I realized was we all took joy from the business we built. How amazing would it be for two young girls watch their mom do something different? Take a risk and pursue a dream. Fail. Succeed. Many valuable lessons could be learned from this endeavor. This hard decision would impact all of us and all of us were excited and proud to move ahead!

Once I decided I had to take this next step or I’d need to give up on Floured Apron once and for all, I prayed and spent weeks mapping out all the pros and cons. Many things happened over this time. I’m being completely honest with you, I received multiple, random signs that I had to chase my dream. It was as if someone was following me around telling me to do this. I was seeing vintage campers everywhere and I wasn’t even looking! I saw them on greeting cards, wallets, key chains, posters. I was at a shoe store in the check out line and there was a pair of socks with campers on them just staring at me (now, I own them!). Okay, I got it, let’s do this!

I pulled the trigger and drove to meet with Noah at American Vintage Camper near Columbus and handed him a check, shook his hand and took a big deep breath.

From that moment, I have constantly second guessed myself. After last Friday, the second guessing has completely gone away. I know this is my path and this is one of the many purposes I have on this earth. I didn’t launch Kickstarter to get compliments and wonderful things said about me; that was not the objective. I wanted to raise more money and generate awareness for the business.

I had no idea that I’d get something much more important and meaningful in return.

At this one week mark, I thought it would be great to share all the fantastic things people have said. The many prayers I prayed and the outpouring of encouragement are what dreams are made of. Dreams are wonderful but they are also difficult. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and passion to do something that feels so right but presents you with many obstacles and loads of stress. I now understand why people give up. They don’t give up because they are failures or losers. They give up because life is hard and it will knock you down. People can be mean and their negative words or lack of compassion and help can destroy those dreams. People can also be giving, kind and unselfish and can make your dreams come true. That’s what is happening for me. I’m blessed, I’m touched and I’m completely in awe of the generosity and love so many have shown. I am privileged to follow this path.

If I fall on my face, I will do so with a big smile! I can’t thank you enough for showing me that people are good and they want goodness in this world. I promise I will spend every minute with Rosie sharing the kindness you have so graciously shared with me. Check out all the lovely words that have been shared with me via Facebook, texts and emails. If you’re so inclined, share something nice with someone. I’m living proof that kind words and actions can truly transform a heart and soul.

From the heart, Shannon

I’m excited for you to realize your dreams. It’s ok to be scared and to be nervous…I know I was back when and even still today. Just keep believing in yourself. You’ll have 1001 obstacles…each challenging your commitment to your dream. Stay steadfast in your approach and desire to win and you can overcome all of them. Leverage mentors during this process. They are incredible assets. You’ll do this!

You are very welcome! I love seeing your posts and I am a big fan of your business. Good luck Shannon and thanks for the note! I hope the family is well.

Shannon was such a huge part of my life when I was younger, and this is my way of saying “thank you” for being such an inspiration, to me and one of my good friends Hannah. Shannon and Hannah taught me kindness, happiness, and invited me into their mother/daughter love. I am truly greatful for both of them! Good luck Floured Apron!
