Yeah, that’s a mouthful. When I told people I was making myself an ice cream cake for my birthday they all said some variation of “Wow, that sounds ambitious!” Of course, that was after the brief moment of being judgmental that I insist on making my own birthday cake every year. Store bought baked goods?…

peanut butter pretzel chocolate chip cookies
Clearly this is my outlet for venting the ridiculous things that happen in my life. So here goes: Yesterday I was lifeguarding from 12-5 at the gym. As I was leaving, they gave me a stern talking-to about the fact that my car was parked in the lot for more than 3 hours. “This is…
single serving vegan cookies
Sometimes I think I need to get off social media. Even though the election nonsense is mostly over (Hey, Texas- no one is letting you secede from the union), the things that get put on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. just make me want to hurl. Real tweet: “OMG! People need to STOP telling me I look…
yummy bars
Note: I did not make up the name of this dessert. We’ll leave him/her anonymous. But it’s a pretty accurate description. They are the perfect combination of salty and sweet and the layers make for great texture. These take about 10 minutes to throw together, and then you just stick them in the freezer and…
river wraps
With the Olympics starting and all this Phelps/Lochte rivalry, it’s made me start to miss swimming. I think Sheila and/or myself have mentioned several times that we were on the swim team in high school. Senior year, though, we both had the unfortunate circumstance of being injured. She, with shoulder problems. Me, with an ovarian…
two guilt-free desserts
It’s been hard for me to come up with exhilarating stories for you all since my life is so mundane. What’s up lately? Well, I got a job in a liquor store. It’s not really a liquor store, more of a nice place to buy craft beers and fancy wine. It has a Boar’s Head deli…
double chocolate cookies
We’re still without TV and internet. But I have to say, I don’t hate it. I’ve read two books in the past three days, gone to bed early, and done a lot of walking around. How am I blogging, you ask? I came to school to write clinic reports and accomplish various other mumbo jumbo tasks,…
ants-on-a-log cookies
Uh oh, I think I’m growing up. Evidence: I used to be able to eat about 4 cookies worth of dough, then 8 freshly baked out of the oven, then 2 more a few hours later when they cooled down. And feel just peachy-keen. Now? I have a spoonful of dough and one cookie out…
oatmeal raisin cookie dough dip
It hasn’t even been 48 hours and I’m already struggling with the absence of chocolate in my life. Sad. So let’s talk about things I love other than chocolate. Or rather, I’ll babble on and you’ll read reluctantly. FUN! Ready set go. 1) The Bachelor. I’m not even embarrassed. I can’t get enough. Not a huge…
peanut butter squares
For many things. For being MIA, which I have an excuse for. For my last post being crappy, which I do not. For obviously writing out my apology in chocolate chips so that I could eat them afterwards. Selfish, but genuine. For giving you ANOTHER recipe with peanut butter and chocolate. Except I’m not that…
