spice cookies

Spice cookies.. best spice cookie recipe yet.

Blondies from your Blondie

I found the BEST blondie recipe ever. This is the holy grail of blondie recipes. I've never had such an amazing blondie a day in my life. I got the recipe here. I used pecans instead of macadamia nuts because, well.. because they are a hellalot cheaper. But in no way, did that affect the recipe. I've tried tons of blondie recipes and they always come out dry and tasting like straight up flour. I think the secret in these is the brown sugar, brown sugar seems to be the secret in everything haha. The sea salt is delish in these!

Lofthouse cookie.. wannabes

I love Walmart's lofthouse soft sugar cookies. They are one of my fave sugar cookies and I've wanted to learn the secret recipe. Today I was looking up recipes for soft sugar cookies, because I wanted to bake something. I found a recipe that claimed to be similar, so I tried it. The frosting is a tad different, but the actual cookie is pretty close. I also love the pink icing I made! :)

On a unrelated note... I saw Where The Wild Things Are last night and it was an amazing movie, I loved every second of it. I haven't been moved by a movie like that in such a long time. I just totally got it 5 minutes into it.. good message, very emotional at parts, not blaintly obvious emotion, but the kind when you actually read between the lines. Isn't it funny how most of the time, children's movies have the most powerful layers of messages?

Anise Biscotti

First attempt at biscottis. They are just plain anise biscottis, nothing too special, but they are pretty tasty, when they were done I glazed them with a anise glaze.

best chocolate cake

It was my brother in law's birthday the other day and I've mean wanting to try out this cake recipe for months. I have been feeling very sick lately and on top of feeling sick, kinda a little down. I went to see my favorite band play this past week and it was the most amazing show that I've ever been to, maybe the best night of my life and I've seen this band (Brand New) play about 7 times, it was just amazing. But after the show I was more sad than usual that it was over, because I was looking forward to this show for the longest time. Don't you wish that sometimes you could just travel around with your favorite band when they are on tour and go to ever single show? Thats how I feel, haha.

So anyways, I decided to make a cake and it came out awesome. It is probably the best chocolate cake recipe that I've ever used and the buttercreme frosting is amazing as well, I was very pleased.

P.S If your on a diet, this isn't the best cake to cake, it's too good.
