So I haven't posted in a while. But never you fear, I have been busy baking and adventuring with the little amount of free time I have before school and work and other fun stuff starts.
I feel as though this is appropriate for my very first post here -- something that I haven't made before, but has become an instant favorite.
Cookies and Cream Peanut Butter
(you can get the recipe here)
I realize that you all probably guessed what the recipe was from the title. Oh well, #noregrets.
But this recipe was really easy, and really really tasty (especially when still a little bit warm). In total, I think it took me less than ten minutes.
I did end up making a few changes to the base recipe .... but they are simple and didn't change the taste at all. Rather than using white chocolate chips, I used vanilla almond bark. This just made it slightly easier because it melted really nicely and I didn't have any white chocolate chips on hand.
...I keep wanting to write "ships." To be clear, I wasn't using boating vessels to make this. My terrible sense of humor cracks me up.
Seriously though, so much delicious-ness packed into little mason jars. I would totally recommend making this... but make sure you have lots of friends around. Otherwise you'll end up possibly finishing the whole jar by yourself.
So go out, make some hungry friends and enjoy!
So I'm not quite sure how to begin this.
I guess I'll jump right in, head first and flailing...
My name is Katie and I'm a self-proclaimed "baking bitch" (an oh-so-lovely term coined by my darling friends). I'm currently in the midst of my first semester back from college and I literally have no idea what to do for the next three and a half months.
That is, until I decided that I finally had the time to start this journal of my adventures as an amateur baker. I knew that I would already be baking/cooking all the time, so I decided on a public journal that would not only force me to bake with some regularity, but also to experiment and try totally new recipes.
All of that being said, be prepared (if you decide to follow me on my misguided adventures) for mishaps, mistakes, and general chaos as I attempt to make things that are pretty and taste good.
....but mostly just taste good. Prettiness generally goes out the window when I experiment.
Which is something I want to work on. Though I'm not making any promises.
I suppose I should write an "about me" but I'll save that for later. I know, this one post has you all on the edges of your respective seats and you just need me to tell you about my exciting life.
But you'll just have to wait.
