Remodeling!!  It's hard to believe I've been married for 28 years and been the owner of 4 different homes but this kitchen is the very first remodel project that we've ever tackled. 👷🏻‍♀️Needless to say, I'm learning a lot as a remodeling newbie.  One of the biggest lessons that I'm learning is that this process has seasons.  Seasons of busyness when seemingly endless critical decisions have to be made in rapid succession.   And then there are seasons of waiting.  Waiting for cabinets to be made, waiting for materials to be delivered and waiting for schedules to sync.  😬 

A test of patience - that's the best way to describe this kitchen remodel project.  😅 We started this in January and we are hoping to wrap things up by Halloween. 😬 It's good for me though.  Goodness knows, I could use a little more patience in my life. ​

​During this season of waiting - I'm trying to take advantage of having a fully functioning kitchen.  My intention is to do some extra baking before my kitchen is rendered completely unusable so that I have some recipes to share with all you of even while the remodel is underway. That was my intention when I made these Oatmeal Cream Pies but I'm just too excited to keep it under wraps.  This recipe deserves to be shared now.

Top with a second cookie and serve. 

​I'm still wrapping my brain around the fact that it's still July and kids in Georgia are going to be starting school in just over a week.  😳 And the start of a new school year means getting back into habit of packing lunches.  Go ahead and tuck one of these oatmeal cream pies into your child's lunch box and make them the envy of all their friends.  

Ciao!
