Hepburn and Houndstooth

I am proud to introduce the first item in my OpenSky shop… these great heart-shaped cookie cutters.  I love cookie cutters and have a slight addiction to buying them.  I don’t just use them for cookies, but also for shaping playdoh, pancakes, and cutting shapes into the kids’ sandwiches.  My 4-year-old really loves heart-shaped grilled cheese.

They are made of tinned steel, which makes for really clean cuts and durability. They come in a boxed set of four, and at $12, they are perfect for gift-giving. Showers, teacher gifts, Christmas, or just because!

Smitten Kitchen is basically a cooking blog (as you probably guessed from the title).  What makes this one so special is that it takes meals that are usually very simple to make and makes them seem so… special.  The photography is beautiful and it makes me want to cook every. single. night.  Number One on my list of things on this blog to make: St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake.

I mentioned it to Dustin, being a St. Louis native, he was all excited over gooey butter cake (whereas I’d never heard of it).  I’ll let you know how it turns out!
