Swag Bars
Don’t holiday weekends always seem to fly by quicker than regular weekends? I swear every time there is a holiday week I feel like the time just FLIES by. I had a fabulous holiday weekend! I hung out with friends and had family friends from Kansas City come to visit. It was a weekend full of food, drinks, love, and sun! Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend if I had tried. I will make sure to post some pictures from the visit from the Ellenburger’s! It was SO great to see you guys! We miss you like crazy! 🙂 Now I call these Swag Bars because, well look at…

Raspberry Shortcake…Well, sort of.
I have a confession… I am totally excited about Friday! Why you ask?? Well, because a band named Hot Lunch is playing at a bar named Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, Mass. Did you just say hot lunch? YES I DID! It is a local band that I come to know and love. They however have not had a show in a very long time so I am so excited to go out and support them this Friday. I even talked to 3 of the band members on this past Saturday putting in my requests for their playlist, haha. I’ll be the one down in front dancing around singing at the…

Yes, not mint chocolate chip ice cream, but mint chocolate chip COOKIES! I know what you are thinking…”Rave, that sounds pretty weird. Not sure about that” …trust me, if you like mint and chocolate you will like these cookies.

Mint and chocolate is one of those combinations that I just cannot get…

Water Cake
Dear New England Drivers, It is not necessary to drive 12 mph to work when there is a little precipitation on the ground. It is also not safe to SLAM on your brakes as often as you do in slippery conditions. If you just use the pedal on the right to make the car accelerate…you should be good to go. Sincerely, A fellow New England Commuter Holy cow, heeellllooo ice storm! I drove in this morning and it took me an hour and 20 minutes to get into work. It normally takes me about 35 minutes haha. WOW! Thanks Mother New England! Thank goodness I am inside now, for all…

What can I make that is yummy, has chocolate,…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
It’s cookie time! I was in SUCH a baking mood this weekend and I have no idea why. So I decided to try out a new recipe and man-o-man did it turn out well.

Peanut butter! 🙂 Ingredients for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies: 1/2 cup butter softened (aka 1 stick) 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used creamy) 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 2 tablespoons…
