Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? I haven’t met one person, What’s not to like? Chocolate, cookie, dough… I always remember being SO excited coming home to warm cookies on the counter. I was SUPER picky when I was little, so I was lucky enough to have a mom that would always leave out the chocolate chips of a couple of the cookies. Every now and again she still does it, even though I’m 30 😉 There is always the great debate on how a cookie texture should be. I am on the side of chewy gooey on the inside with a crispy crunch on the outside. I am…

Chocolate Truffles {Vegan}
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and you just need to have something and someone to share it with right? Meh. I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. It just never has been something that I want to celebrate or was truly a big fan of. I was blessed that for most of my life I had someone to spend it with, and now I have a Husband to share them ALL with. It just isn’t something I am into. I think it is fun to celebrate things, but at the same time I think you should always do nice things for those you love. However, I…

Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Happy New year!!! (Keep with me on this post, I am going to be talking mainly life with some cookie pictures mixed in. Recipe is at the bottom if you don’t want to read this entirely too long rambling post) 2015… Whew, 2014 was CRAY CRAY… Seriously, crazy. But amazing crazy 🙂 I have been kind of MIA recently in pretty much all aspects of my life. I haven’t really been paying attention to the blog, or social media (as much as usual), I took some time off of work at the end of the year… I actually kind of feel like a fish out of water! For the longest…

Zucchini Brownies w/ Dark Chocolate Frosting
It is August. AUGUST! I mean good lord, where has this year gone!? Granted, I have been pretty busy. But still. Patrick and I have been working like crazy people to try and get our house ready for people to come and stay in for the wedding that is 82 days away…eeeeeee! Yikers. One of our bathrooms is completely torn up at the moment. Down to the studs. Always something isn’t it? I am glad we are doing it, because quite frankly we had some SERIOUS electrical hazards behind our walls. In just about every room we have touched. Thank goodness my Dad and Patrick know to how fix these…

Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten Free}
I am sharing a Peanut Butter Cookie today. Do I have your attention? If you are anything like me, I definitely do. I love Peanut Butter more than I could possibly say. Literally, I think I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon…every.single.day. and be completely happy. When I was younger, my Mom used to babysit as her profession so she always got those huge 5lb drums of Peter Pan peanut butter that you get at Sams, BJs or Costco, because she was always feeding 10 kids peanut butter. Because, let’s be honest…most kids are picky but they love peanut butter. I used to take those huge…

Rich Chocolate Brownies (No Bake)
I was thinking the other day… Since I have this blog and I love to cook but I am also planning a wedding, why don’t I try and intermingle the two while this is all going on? Try and use it as an online journal of sorts, get my feelings out but also show you all what I have been up to? Sound like a deal? I know I am offering myself for all of your opinions, but you know what? I get that no matter what. So bring them on! Right now the big thing that Patrick and I are deciding on are invitations. We have so many people…

Double Chocolate Protein Bars
Ok, so these…are amazing. I totally stole the idea from Laura & Kammie from this post Red Velvet Protein Bars. I am always looking for new ways to make protein filled snacks. I have been working out a lot lately and I have been really loving it, but I have learned that my body NEEDS protein. That was a large problem before for me with not seeing any results and not seeing inches go away. Once I started eating more lean protein? The results were astonishing. So clearly I am going to continue with that trend and eat lots and lots of protein. But, you know there is only so…

Certainly going to be interesting!…

Cocoa-Caramel Bourbon Truffles
I have had an obsession with learning about Marilyn Monroe lately. For no particular reason, really. Some of you may have noticed towards the bottom of my page, I have Marilyn displayed. That’s because I find her quotes inspirational when I am down. However, in learning about her, I am intrigued by this woman… She was not the bimbo that the media made/makes her out to be. Marilyn was actually a very shy, intelligent, troubled and beautiful woman. I suppose I am so fascinated by her, because I see a lot of myself in her. As I honestly think most women could if they really looked. She loved and was…
