toppings. They had some of my favorite toppings including dried
cranberries, pomegranate seeds, blackberries and (of course) Fruity
Pebbles.

Don't be intimidated by De-Seeding a Pomegranate, It's really not that hard!
From POM Wonderful
Score your fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water.
Break open the pomegranate under water to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top.
Remove the floating membrane and Sieve the arils in a separate bowl.
Refrigerate under water and use a spoon to remove from container. Using fingers can cause them to go bad from bacteria.
Or freeze remaining arils for another use.

Pomegranate Oatmeal Drops are super yummy! You have got to try this recipe!
After learning about Pomegranate's in my Friday class I've been inspired! Before that Pomegranate class I had never even tasted them.
For the cookie party I hosted this year I surfed the web for a unique recipe, I came across the POM Wonderful website and found a cookie recipe. I was super excited to make and try these and I was very pleased with the end result.

♥Cookie Party 2010 was a great success! Although, now I absolutely hate cookies until next year!
Everyone that joined us didn't cease to impress. This year we had a couple no-bake cookies which was really cool to see. Also I loved the glitter cookies... glitter for cookies, how neat!
Here are some photos... I accidentally forgot to get photos of people, But there are lots of the cookies.
