Costco frozen croissants


 We got these frozen butter croissants (Au pain dore brand) from Costco, you thaw them for 30 minutes then bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.  These were at 22 minutes and so good!

Thursday Art and Dinner Date - 'Soup!' theme and healthy oatmeal peanut butter cookies

 


Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  Cathy is kindly hosting the art date for the rest of the year, she has a list of the themes on her sidebar.

 The theme is 'Soup!' and here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on canvas in acrylic. 

September themes:

Soup!,Beauty Salon. (Sep 25)    

For the dinner date, I made these healthy oatmeal peanut butter cookies.  I substituted ED Smith 75% less sugar than maple syrup in place of the honey. It contains sucralose.  I also used quick steel cut oats.  They were delicious.
