S’mores Cupcakes

Published by under Cooking

The highlight of my baking were these s’mores cupcakes. I got the recipe from Sew Darn Cute. And they really are damn cute. I love them. Oh, and they tasted wonderful (of course, I love marshmallow cream, so that’s probably why). But seriously delicious. Those are graham cracker crumbs on the top. My frosting was [...]

Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes? Muffins?

Published by under Cooking

Not sure whether these are cupcakes or muffins, but they are good. They have this cream cheese-y filling. These didn’t turn out quite as well as my test batch.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Published by under Cooking

In my craziness, I thought, “hey, I’ll make some chocolate chip cookies as well.” This was silly. Although they tasted good. I used this recipe fromĀ  Shelterrific which is supposed to be the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. In my opinion, it tasted very similar to Tollhouse. And my cookies came out super flat [...]

Quilting Month Gone By

Published by under Sewing

Okay, so I realize I posted next to nothing February. February is so short. It really got shafted. Even this year when it had an extra day. I didn’t get to do anything for quilting month. Although I did find some cool blocks like the Irish chain which I hope to try at some point [...]
