Happy Sunday ya’ll! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted but I’m back in full force and coming in with something SUPER delicious just in time for a (super late) Valentines Day! That is if you’re in the 10% of the world that’s celebrating late like we are ;). Honestly, we aren’t even celebrating until tomorrow because that’s when we were able to get away, just Christian and I🙈. But, I couldn’t wait any longer to post since the majority of you all have already celebrated. I mean, it doesn’t actually have to be Valentines Day to eat some bomb a** brownies, right? You want to know the best part about it? These brownies are only 6 ingredients. Yep, only 6. It’s a total game changer. Plus, I used box brownies, which are the best kind of brownies. Try and fight me about it. I’ll win.

7-Layer Bars

Happy Monday ya’ll. It’s been quite the dreary overcast day here so I’ve taken full advantage of it and spent my entire day inside baking. There is also a winter storm on the way so what better way to snuggle up with some hot cocoa and eat some sweets, am I right? If we’re being honest, I really don’t like winter, Like at all, but I’ll definitely partake in the fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, and movie nights on the couch during a snowfall. There’s just something so comforting about it. Especially with freshly baked 7-layer bars just waiting for me to dig in. Yes please. Usually at this time of year I’ve already made 7-layer bars more times than I can count. However, due to the pandemic, I can’t say I’ve made them once this year. This recipe makes 24 large bars or 48 small bars so it’s a hefty recipe for just one person to indulge in. So, with Thanksgiving coming up this week, I thought why not make them today and be ahead of the game for Thursday. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I get my sugar fix and my family gets theirs for Thanksgiving. Win Win.

Scotcheroos

Can we just take a minute on this dreary Sunday evening to appreciate the simplicity but deliciousness of scotcharoos? Like, seriously, everybody loves them. At first thought you kind of think of them as a “kids” treat, but every time someone brings them to an event, the adults go wild too. It’s unreal. It’s like a bunch of caged animals were set free. That’s exactly why I rarely make these in my house, not because I don’t like them, but because I will find myself in the kitchen at 2:00am eating them when I in fact got up for a glass of water. I’m that caged animal. It’s me. I’m completely uncontrollable and I’m not even afraid to say it.

Coconut, Butterscotch and Dark Chocolate Blondies

We’ve made it over half way through the week ya’ll. And it’s officially fall! That makes me so stoked to say. This crisp weather is giving me LIFE. Anyone else? It’s just the change I needed to kind of “reset my mind”. My days have all been blending together and with the pandemic still happening and in full force, not much change has happened in my day to day schedule. I did however dive into all things fall this past weekend and visited an apple orchard to stock up on some much needed fall essentials. Basically, what that means is apple cider donuts. Yes, I did in fact go for donuts. I mean, of course I got some apples to balance it out, but real talk, I went for donuts. However, with the apples I did purchase, I have been baking up a storm and have SO many good apple recipes coming up that you guys are going to love. That being said, I thought I would share with you one of my favorite transitional, summer to fall, desserts before I turn into an apple maniac. Butterscotch, Coconut and Dark Chocolate Blondies. This is another tried and true recipe.

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Good Morning and Happy Monday ya’ll! I can’t believe the weekend is already over. I spent most of my weekend inside due to the copious amounts of rain Wisconsin decided to dump on us, but none the less got caught up on some much needed work, content planning, and recipe testing. This post is actually coming about from a MAJOR fail I had yesterday in the kitchen. I feel like anytime I try something new, it doesn’t work. I sit there and question it, then tell myself to just follow the recipe, and then it turns out like garbage. I should know to trust my gut but yet here I am a day later with pancake cookies and a crushed soul. Aye yai yai. In the mist of this fail, I thought to myself, “I’m just going to make my cookies instead. They always work. I’ll just make a big batch, eat about 10 of them, enter a food coma, and forget about the flying saucers I just made.” Okay, maybe not 10 of them, and maybe I’m being dramatic, but, I hate when recipes don’t work. Therefore, I made my own. Honestly, these cookies have a pretty fool proof recipe. I’ve taught many people how to make these, and even the worst of the worst have succeeded. So, without further ado, I give you my Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Oliver’s 1st Birthday

2

Happy Birthday Oliver! I can’t believe how crazy fast the first year went. It’s kind of insane. I feel like everyday he is learning something new. He’s so smart, so smiley and so beyond sweet. I can’t even begin to explain how amazing it has been watching him grow, watching him laugh and watching him learn to scoot, crawl and walk. One of my favorite parts of watching my baby boy morph into a toddler is watching those tiny little wheels turning in his head. Watching him figure out how to open a door, how to walk from one side of the room to the other, exploring and testing his boundaries, and pointing to people by name. It is truly incredible. My little tiny human isn’t so tiny anymore. And while a big piece of me is sad, the other piece of me is so beyond excited to watch him grow into a handsome little boy. He stole my heart on day one and continues to do so everyday. Oliver has truly turned ordinary into extraordinary.

The BEST Homemade Brownies

Happy Friday! How has everyone been holding up during this quarantine? Have you started going back to work? Things are slowly starting to open back up in Madison and people are excepting the new normal here. Businesses were just given the OK to open to the public and let me tell you, people are here for it. Streets have been converted into outside eatery’s, parks are slowly starting to open back up with new safety precautions in place, and bigger venues are able to start hosting smaller weddings. It’s a bit crazy living in this world right now. It’s already mid July and I haven’t gone anywhere on vacation and I’ve hardly seen any of my friends. Like, um, what?
