Operation Baking Gals, The Roundup

I wrote a while back about the article that was written on Operation Baking Gals where I was interviewed.  Well, I have finally gotten a chance to sit down and write a post that thanks all of the lovely ladies that took time to send me a package!  If you haven't checked it out yet, please look into Operation Baking Gals and if the mood strikes you, participate.  Baked goods are the best thing you can get in the mail while deployed...I know from experience!

These treats were from Audrey.  The cookies were so good...you can never go wrong with chocolate chip!
These cookies and drink mixes were from Martha.  Everything was delicious, but the lemon shortbread cookies were my absolute favorite!  They turned out perfect!
These cookies were from Patricia!  They were all so good and these were the cookies we "modeled" with for the picture for the article (too bad you can't see the picture online...only in the actual paper).
I don't know if Mary knew that snickerdoodles were my favorite cookie of all time, but it made my day to get these in the mail.  And it was easy to share them since they were individually wrapped!
This is the first of two pictures of goodies from the creator of Operation Baking Gals, Lyndsay!  So much good stuff, but my favorite was in the second picture.
Lyndsay has perfected the art of mailing cookies with these little vacuum sealed packages.  It was a toss up between the cut out cookies and the biscotti which was my favorite on these!
These gems are from Susan.  Holy cow...there were these mochachino bars that were to die for in here!  They tasted like tiramisu, only in bar form.  SO GOOD!
This package was from Courtney.  So many yummy treats (and she included the recipes!).  I can't wait to make the oatmeal struesel cookies when I get home.  The chocolate chunk macadamia nut cookies were a hit with everyone too!
Suzanne sent these awesome brownies...all individually wrapped.  They lasted about ten minutes once I put them out on the table we place stuff out to share.  They were great!
Finally, these were from Karen and her daughter Kayla, who added a great picture she colored for me of Winnie the Pooh!  These were so tasty and the cinnamon coated lucky penny cookies were my favorite.  The No Bake Cookies reminded me of my sister...she loves those!

So that is the wrap up!  A special thank you to all of these lovely ladies!  The Marines and Sailors of my unit were so appreciative and enjoyed the goodies so much!  Thanks again and if you have the ability, please consider participating in this group.  You can make a huge difference in the lives of those deployed by just baking a batch of cookies!
