Cookie Monster

Sometimes I feel like cookie monster! In the winter I am a baking freak. I’m already starting in again!! I have made peanut butter cookies, pumpkin biscotti, oatmeal cookies, and chocolate chip cookies 🙂 Baking makes me happy!

Chocolate chip cookie dough makes my little sis happy (buuut she is almost as tall as me, ugh!!!!)

Which cookies make Allie happy?!

Why Oatmeal Raisin cookies of course!! The dough is quite good as well :p

What is your favorite type of cookie?

Check out that fog from the other morning! Holy cow man! The area where I go to school has lots of dips and mountains so fog congregates randomly and I love it… sometimes. I don’t love it when I drive home late at night cause it scares me!

So it turns out I don’t have eczema? I went to a dermatologist. He said it’s hives… interesting. Looks like I have another new medication to try out. It makes me dizzy, but it has been helping 🙂

Wednesday night dinner was so classic and so delicious.

3 words: Tuna. Noodle. Casserole. (+ salad)

Yuuum. When I am a mommy, I am definitely going to make ‘tnc’ for my family! It’s so easy too :p

Last night’s dinner was a bit more upscale:

Okay, no food is upscale if it’s in a plastic “peter rabbit & friends bowl” LOL. I love my plastic bowls because I hate silverware and the noise it makes scraping a plate so I am all plastic! Oh yeah, dinner was gnocci, shrimp, & asparagus in pesto<3333 LOVE.

Right now I love daylight savings time because I can watch the sun rise when I walk my puppy!! The sun is just hitting the big brown tree.. I thought that was so cool for some reason?!
My only wish is that it would be warmer in the mornings! Pittsburgh is having a heat streak lately though- tomorrow is supposed to be 65 degrees. Tomorrow is the big ‘turkey trot’ at my school that I have been planning along with co-workers and my boss. It is finally here and we are all glad to get this 5k over with!! I never knew how much work went into a 5k and I now appreciate the people who collaborate on them much, much more!

Bible verse of the day:

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

Alrighty, I have to be off to my swim practice for tonight. I find trouble staying motivated on Fridays 😡 shh, don’t tell my coach! But I have to think… It’s only 2 hours of my day! I spend so many more hours doing different things so I should just suck it up 🙂

Bye have a nice weekend!!!!

  1. I find myself picking up random baking ingredients this time of year “just in case” the urge to bake arises. Which seems to be often! Eek!

    I’m so unmotivated on Friday’s too… i need to go home and nap after work before the gym. I think I’m the laziest healthy person I know. lol

  2. grr so now they don’t know what’s wrong? hopefully, this medication will work out.

    i think it’s baking season… at least that’s what the grocery store seems to be pushing. a lot of basic baking ingredients are on sale. i’m on my way there now to buy ingredients in order try out a few recipes that seem to work on paper but i have some experimenting to do =)

    oh, and it’s november. why is pittsburgh so warm?!! have a good weekend!

  3. I do not like baking. 😉 I have many kitchen disaster stories to back that one up! Occasionally I do get a random urge to make something, so it happens sometimes if I’m in the mood. I really want to make apple cinnamon rolls but they’re a bit complicated for me. 🙂

  4. I love shockingly pumpkin cookies. I’m also a big fan of chocolate chip but every sort of cookie (minus nutty ones) can capture my heart is some form or another.

    I am having a hard time staying motivating in swimming period right now ha. When is your first meet?

  5. My favorite cookie? So many! Hands down chocolate chip or chocolate chip oatmeal. Ginger snaps are amazing too. So are sugar cookies. Basically I just love cookies. 🙂

    I’ve never read the bible but I always love reading the bible verses people put on their blog. That one is great!

  6. Hi girlie 🙂 Just found your blog. You are adorable. I love your wavy hair! My fave cookies are probably oatmeal raisin or chocolate chip…very basic. Mostly because those are the only ones that I can bake safety without completely screwing up 🙂
    And are you a swimmer? I was in HS as well! But since college I’ve stopped.

  7. I love baking with my boys and they are both almost as tall as me now…YIKES! Oatmeal raisin is my all time favorite too! Would you believe that I have never made tuna noodle casserole? I know, weird. I hope you are having a great weekend!
