So clearly this week
has been quite hectic as I’m writing this post the day I am planning on
publishing it! I don’t know about other bloggers but to me this is cutting it a
tad close! And to be honest, I had no idea what I was going to bring you
faithful followers two days ago! Luckily, I had two things I wanted to accomplish
this week that would help me get some blog-inspiration: One of my besties got
engaged and I wanted to try a new product….
1- Kristen, one of my BFFs, got
engaged this past weekend and I couldn’t be happier for her and John. So what
do people like me do for celebrations?? Bake, of course! 2-I recently spotted a
new item in the baking aisle that I wanted to give a whirl. I love to bake
things from scratch and all but sometimes time is just not working on my side!
Enter, cookie mixes and random candies left in the fridge to use up!
So I combined those two
happenings and wound up with some dynamite cookies! Buttery, chocolaty and a
bit crunchy is how I would describe them but really all you need to know is
that they are delicious, quick, and pretty inexpensive. J Needless to say, the ready-to-wed
couple happily received them and one more positive: I even was able to save a
few for me and Hubby to snack on! Rock on! (No pun intended, hehe)
