A whole bunch of my good friends are in town this weekend! It’s Vancouver Pride and the Festival of Lights, so we all have been meeting up for various activities. The Festival of Lights is a gigantic musical fireworks competition that has hundreds of thousands of people watching from the beach – we had the luxury of watching from my friend’s waterfront patio! For the celebration, I baked this giant M&M skillet cookie from Sally’s Baking Addiction.
