Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats
Hello my lovelies! Has been a while since I have posted something, but life kind of got in the way. I know you hear me out there. I had some family issues pop up which made it very hard for me to get any kind of cooking done. I won’t give you the details since it won’t do anything but make you sad. No need for that. Just if you get a spare moment, send a prayer towards my family if you can. We would gladly take all the prayers/positive thoughts we can get. So it is Fall huh? Finally my most favorite season is HERE. Lots of colorful leaves…

Caramel Apple Cookies
Happy Thursday everyone! Although it isnt so happy for me. I am stuck at home with a double ear infection as well as a sinus infection. Needless to say, I am not feeling the best. I think it may have something to do with the Rugged Maniac that I completed this past weekend. My 3rd and final race down! However, I don’t think the ice cold pools of dirty water were good for me. Seems kind of strange that only 2 days later I came down with some pretty serious infections. Hmmm…linked perhaps? I think so. The race was hard and definitely physically demanding. A step above the Warrior Dash…

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Good Thursday Morning to everyone! How is your week going thus far? Mine has been going rather quickly actually. Can’t complain about that! Makes the weekend come faster. Ever heard of Christmas in July? Well I got Christmas in August. I would just like to say that I have the best boyfriend in all of the land (ok, yes I did just say “in all of the land”, but maybe that is because he make me feel like a princess 😉 ). He found this sale on Onieda.com. Holy frekkin’ moly! Talk about getting things for dirt cheap. He is such a good deal finder. Just like me actually haha.…

Happy Belated 4th America!
Hey there! I know this is a bit late, *ahem* perhaps a week late. Things have been slightly crazy lately. So forgive me foodies and America for my late posting for my 4th of July cookies 🙂 I am not going to go crazy with this post…I am just going to showcase the lovely cookies I made for my Mom’s 4th of July celebration. It is the usual recipe I use for my sugar cookies and icing. Check it out here. I hope you all had an amazing 4th with whatever you did! Most of you heard about my extravaganza in Boston. Interesting times people, interesting times. Anyways, I am…

Bachelorette Cookies
Good Monday Morning to you all! How was your weekend? I am hoping well. Mine always go too fast. Especially when you are doing things. Always seem to go quicker. This weekend was spent mostly celebrating my Mom’s birthday, going to a bachelorette party, and looking for things for the new house. Patrick and I made our first purchase this weekend. A new washer and dryer, since the house didn’t have them. We went to a store closing out sale at Sears and got the appliances for a steal! It was a deal we couldn’t pass up. I have a feeling this purchasing things for the house is never going…

Pinwheel Cookies
OK so I have been totally MIA lately. BUT there is a good reason for it. Well kinda…haha The place I work has been going through a new system called SAP. OH.MY.GOSH. I had no idea how much this would absolutely stop work in its tracks but has it ever. I mean I literally spend all day spinning my tires on one simple thing. It is amazing to me! The problem is the place I work we are soooo very centered on doing A LOT of transactions in a month and we can’t do that much volume anymore with this new system. Really making things stressful and hard to complete…

I Heart Cookies
Gizzy is home!!! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers and kind words. I know they helped him. He was in the bunny hospital for 3 days. He is home now and has some meds he has to take and he has to take it easy, but he is home. Thank Goodness! You have no idea the amount of stress I was going through while he was at the vet. That constant unknown is horrible. Man o man. I am hoping for nothing but a healthy bunny for the rest of his healthy bunny life. I think it shaved a few years off my own life to…

Football Cookies
How was your Superbowl Sunday? Did your team win? I wasn’t really partial to either one of the teams. I don’t care for Brady or Eli all that much. Truly, I was hoping to see the Packers in the Superbowl. Not that they are a team I follow closely, but I thought they deserved it. I am a Chiefs and Steelers fan, so both of my teams were gone long before the Superbowl. Although my Chiefs did win against the Packers so that was exciting. Not that it had any kind of bearing on the Packers at all, but delivering their first lost was definitely a proud moment for my…

Mini Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies
Yay Patrick! Look at you go, your Whole Wheat Waffles made the Top 9! Thanks everyone for the Top 9, I know Patrick is really excited about it. You should have seen his face when I showed him the notification on my phone this morning at 6:30am haha. Too cute! I am so excited that Turkey day is tomorrow. I think I am more excited about not having to go to work than anything else haha. Sometimes you just need a break you know? It will be nice to just spend some time with the family cooking and telling stories and then napping once we stuff ourselves with turkey hehe…

Strawberry and Apricot Stripe Cookies
I would just like to point out that next week is Thanksgiving. GAH!!! ::sings:: gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. <—if you don’t know what that is from click here. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going. I mean really. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I am trying to help my mom design a Christmas invitation. What do you all think of the following picture for an invite? Would you like to get this for an invite? I don’t know about you but when it starts to get around this time of year all…

Halloween Cookies
I’d say it is about time that I posted my Halloween Cookies no? I was planning on posting them on Monday for Halloween but the current situation in the Northeast definitely prevented that. I am still without power as I am sure many people still are here in CT. It is amazing to me. Just yesterday I started seeing traffic lights starting to work again. My office building is still without power. They have us camped out in a building down the street taking space wherever we can find it. It has been a rather unproductive week, since none of us have phones. Although I found myself a pretty nice…

Wedding Cake Cookies
I literally mean Wedding Cake shaped cookies 🙂 One of the girls that I work with, Kristin, is getting married on Oct 14th so the women at the office decided to throw her a small bridal shower. I made the cookies for the shingdig and my mother made the cake. I don’t have any pictures of the cake, but I assure you it was absolutely gorgeous. She is so talented. Someday I hope I am as good as she is at decorating things; at least I have her as my teacher! Kristin’s colors are purple and cream so my Mom and I wanted to make sure that the cookies and…
