“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” – Jane Austen
Since Pride and Prejudice and Zombies just came out I though this week I would talk about my obsession with Pride and Prejudice.
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is enjoying the spring like weather. I was finally able to bake today. I made chocolate chocolate chip sugar cookies. I was in the mood for something chocolaty and I though it would be good for Valentines Day.
This recipe is from Martha Stewart. I don’t have many tips or tricks for it but I do think it is better with vegetable shorting. When it is replaced with butter it becomes too soft.
Also use a really good quality of coco powered. I would use a better quality but I am on a college budget. They turn of great either way.
Before baking them I would roll them in sparkling sugar. You know the crystalized sugar. It makes a nice crunch on the outside. I didn’t have any so I skipped it.
I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Katie ❤
Happy Friday! It couldn’t have come any sooner. This has been the longest week that seems to never end.
Hey Guys!
Sorry this week there is not going to be a recipe because my oven is broken. I really hoped to post a recipe about bake doughnuts. I got back to college on Sunday so I will be able to bake and post next week.
Have a good week!
Love,
Katie ❤
Favorite Show: Friends
I am so excited and I can’t wait for the Friends reunion. My favorite characters are Monica and Chandler. I always thought they were the best couple.
Favorite Song: Can’t Help Falling in Love by Haley Reinhart
Favorite Book: Keep Calm and Bake Cupcakes
This is my favorite cookbook especially because the recipes make 9 to 12 cupcakes. It is great when you want to bake but don’t want too many extras.
Have a Good Weekend!
Love,
Katie ❤
Happy Monday!!! Other wise know as Bachelor Monday!!!! Does anyone else watch? I kinda in love with Ben.
Anyway that is not the point of this post. I want to let you know there won’t be a recipe today because I have no stove because the downstairs of my house was flooded and the repairs aren’t finished. I will try and bake and post a recipe by Thursday.
Have a great week!
Love,

Happy 1st Monday in 2016! Most people’s resolution is to eat healthier. To be honest that is mine every year and it never works out. I love baked goods way too much to give them up. I thing everything is okay in moderation.
Happy New Years!!!
Hope you had a great weekend and did something fun! This will be a short post because it is midterm week at school. Since Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons I seem to be always found in the kitchen baking. For the 1st day of October my roommate and I made Pumpkin Doughnuts. They were a huge hit and only took 1 hour to make.
