Since the giveaway ties in with breakfast, I’m going to post this day in reverse! Also I’m going to do it quickly, since I’m late picking up the husband.
Dinner – Veggie summer roll from Wegmans while we knocked next week’s grocery shopping out of the way early.
Lunch – A tempeh sandwich with Sriracha Nayo and Strawberry Crofter’s on a Sandwich Thin.
A pear.
And more soft strawberry licorice.
Breakfast – A ridiculous coffee in the car on the longish drive to an off-site clinic. Venti soy latte with (half pumps) cinnamon dolce syrup.
And delicious mini scones.
Actually, Blueberry Lavender Skookies. <– squeeee!
The skookie recipe came from Petite Treats; Mini Versions of Your Favorite Baked Delights, a book I was sent to review.
Here is what the publishers said about it -
Good things come in small packages—and now so do all of your favorite desserts!
Introducing “Petite Treats,” an adorable cookbook featuring delicious, bite-sized, reduced-guilt sweets that are sure to charm family and friends at any gathering.
From the authors of “Mini Pies” and founders of the Seattle-based Mini Empire Bakery, “Petite Treats” shows you how to miniaturize everything from tiny fruit scones and mini pies to bite-size brownies and cutesy cannoli—sweet satisfaction guaranteed.
This book includes dozens of full-color photos and easy-to-follow recipes, as well as decorating and presentation tips. Let “Petite Treats” be the star of your next holiday, birthday or cocktail party.
And here are my thoughts -
- a good mix of healthy and decadent treats, all in the miniature
- the instructions were easy, and easy to follow!
- some recipes are vegan (like the skookies)
- they included a mini piecaken (a pie within a cake) so you know that the authors must be on top of their dessert game!
- the pictures make me drool
They gave me the opportunity to share a book with my readers too. Since you guys like me, I knew that y’all love things that are small and sweet! <– that was so corny I think I made myself throw up.
For a chance to win a copy of the book - simply comment on this post by midnight on Monday (February 11th).
Is that a ton of avocado in that summer roll??? Le yum!
Yes! So good.
What a cute idea for a book! Enter me!
I actually have another book coming that basically has your name on it!
Eeeee-gad! I love miniature things!
Wow, that book sounds awesome. As a GBP patient, I really love your blog as it gives me ideas of things that are healthy for me to eat (generally LOL) that are very snack-sizey. Which, I guess, is why this book ALSO sounds nifty.
Marie, this comment meant a lot to me, thanks!
I love mini-sized treats! Makes me feel like I’m being healthier with my dessert choices…even if that may not be the case!
Piecaken makes me remember I need to check when drop dead diva is back! Ooooooh and royal pains.
I love minis – I can justify eating two or three or four, right????
I have to hit up weggies next time I’m in b-lo….
I love baking and since I am a new mama I never have the time. I’d love to have this cookbook to use some of my precious downtime to do something I enjoy so much!
I’m usually not a fan of sweets, but I got sucked into eating a mini Red Velvet cupcake yesterday just because of how adorable it looked! This book looks really cool.
I love mini treats! It is a good way to try a variety of flavors.
That book is adorable. Since we’re in a RV for the winter, I am a big fan of all things small. Although it is bigger than my daughter’s NYC apartment when she lived there, so there’s that.
