So, at our church, we always eat dinner together.  It’s no secret that I don’t like to cook, and since it’s potluck, sometimes, let’s just say, I get shown up.  Those of you who go to our church, know exactly what I’m talking about.  Long story short, one week I bring cheesecake with strawberry topping (from Costco) and Nick brings homemade cheesecake (giving him the nickname “Homemade Nick,” sorry Nick, it’s stickin’).  The next week, I bring brownies and even sprinkle them with powdered sugar but oh no!  AK brings brownies with a layer of oreos and a layer of cookie dough… what are the odds someone would bring the EXACT same dessert (only better) the last two times!  Trust me, it’s way funnier if you were there when I was being shown up… pretty hysterical.

Anyway, this week we were supposed to bring a food that started with the first letter of our name.  So, Mike got all fancy with the double “M”s… if we weren’t going to win the fancy shmancy food award, we at least got the double initial award (which counts for something).  Top that Betty Crocker Kitchens! (I just said that because Noelle and Anna Kate watch that EVERY day and are obsessed with how-to cooking videos… I guess I need to be too, oh snap!)

*What makes these cookies Homestyle anyway?  We were cracking up when we read that on the label.  And the rest of the story is… our store bought “Homestyle” cookies were SO good!
