Halloween stuff is everywhere right now and so you can’t help but start to get in the mood…though for the record Costco had out Christmas stuff and that did not put me in the mood for that holiday. People ask me what crazy things I am making for Halloween and I usually tell them nothing, which makes them sad so I decided this year to change that. You will really love what is going up Monday, super cute. I’ve already captured the Halloween spirit by buying candy, I am a sucker for all things mini and that’s all Halloween candy is (I especially love the mini gummy bears). And I of course buy candy corn. I planned on making these cupcakes three times now. It took the third time to make it happen since I ate the first two bags of candy corn before I successfully did not eat the third bag. :P At first I was going to make candy corn cookies but I couple people were already doing that and so I decided to go in a different direction. Last year I made candy corn ice cream by just … [Read more...]
The healing powers of snickerdoodles…
Why are some people so awesome and other people bring suck ass to a new level? Seriously I just don’t get it. And what is even sadder is that it seems that the nice people always end up being trampled by the sucky people. Sometimes I really believe no good deed goes unpunished. :( One of the nice people of the world, my mom, is down and out for a little bit as she recovers from her hernia surgery she had on Monday. It got me thinking about her and her favorite thing from my blog. My mom is who I get my love of all things snickerdoodles from. She loves and makes often my snickerdoodle blondies from back in 2009. So I thought I would remake them with a twist. We had a very fall day around here, I’m not sure we got out of the 50’s and we had lots of rain. It screamed bake something and so I did. And since I promised few people I would be doing a lot of pumpkin recipes on the blog I decided to throw in some pumpkin to these babies. Good stuff. They weren’t meant to swirl as … [Read more...]

Smile for the camera….
At this point I am waiting for people to hire photographers for first date photos. Seriously wedding photographers, this could be your new thing. I think people would fall for it. Hire a photographer to go out with you on every first date because you never know, this could be the one. And wouldn’t it be nice if you could look back on your first date and know that it was all captured by a professional photographer. I bring this up because I am in awe of how many things nowadays people hire professional photographers for. Don’t get me wrong if you have the money and you want it done, go for it, I certainly have enough friends who take pictures for a living and would appreciate the work. But let’s look for example of a girl I know who her boyfriend arranged for them to have photos of him proposing done. The girl thought they were just getting their pictures taken for a Christmas card. But he popped the question. That wasn’t their engagement photos. It made sense to me that … [Read more...]
