Fruit and Yogurt Pops

Apparently running on the beach does this to a chihuahua...

Breakfast on the go

I have a girl crush... her name is Jessica

The Novice Chef

Novice Chef my ass. But I officially love her.

Like Jesus on Toast

You know how some people claim to have seen Jesus on their toast or the pee stains on their beds or on a Frito Lay? Well, this is what I saw this morning after I peeled my pillow case off of the side of my neck. The side I just got tattooed that afternoon. Disgusting I realize, but I think I'm putting it on Ebay. Dibs?

I'll post some better photos of it once it stops hurting and starts healing. She also needs a makeup application but that will happen next session... so close but yet so far.

If you're looking for some laughs, pain and suffering and a just gonna kick your ass great tattoo, I suggest you go see Chris or Jamer at Government Street Tattoo. Their link is to the side. They also like snacks.

French Toast with Caramel, Pecans and Apples

Since I'm horrid at remembering to take photos along the way I leave you with- the beginning and the end.

Peanut Butter Cookies- A visual

Someone told me the one they had was dry, to which I said "Didn't stop you from having another one did it fatty?".

So be it...

I am bingeing today and it is not attractive. Shoving popcorn in and chasing it with a Twix. Hand flat against face so not to lose a kernal. I'm also preplanning tonight's snacks. It will get uglier before it gets pretty.

Had to share.

Molasses Cookies

I think I forgot how to do this! Took me half an hour to load the photos! Let's see...

Gather the ingredients:

3.5 cups of AP Flour
1 cup o' butter
1 tsp each of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg
2 tsp baking soda (NOT the magical kind)
2 eggs
2 cups of white sugar
1 cup of molasses
Sugar for sprinkling- it's an option, not a rule

Sift your flour and spices and soda. You could use salt but since I use salted butter I don't.

Cream the butter and sugar

Keep creaming... you want the gritty feel to be gone. Doesn't take long (1 scene and a commercial of your show)

Get your eggs ready

One at a time add to butter and sugar

I said "ONE AT A TIME!"

See. Creamy ,very creamy

Molasses at the ready- Mr. Gingerbread Man approved and blessed by Our Lady

Slowly eyeball a cup, or measure if you have bad eyes

Add your flour/ spice mix a bit at a time- trust me. Have you seen the Kraft commercial where the kid dumps the flour into the stand mixer in one shot? You want to avoid that scene.

The dough is very soft but it should look something like this

I like to pop it into the freezer while I clean up. When you open the freezer maybe you will see what I saw... This is what you get when the Mister says "I got some groceries" Behind the DQ you will notice fish sticks. Groceries.

Plop dough a small scoop at a time onto a lined sheet. You will bake for 8- 10 minutes and not a speck longer.
To be honest I got tired of making all these small cookies- which most would consider normal and started using a regular sized ice cream scoop. Of which you can stagger 3 plops of dough onto one sheet. The larger bake for 11 minutes. Not a speck longer.

The end. Missed you.

Can you believe it?!

I'm posting today! Really, I'm baking right now, camera in hand. It's kind of tricky but I think I can do it!
