Unreal Monster Cookies
When I logged on to write this post today, I was feeling like it had been forever since I published something new. And guess what? It has been forever! Clearly my mind has been elsewhere, and I can’t say that today that sentiment is much different. In addition to planning a wedding (which is fast approaching), Kevin and I have decided to tackle the task of buying our first home… before our lease runs out August 1st. Add in typical spring/summer activities, a smattering of wedding events (mine and others), baby events (including the birth of my maid of honor’s first little girl!), and the regular 9-5, and it’s all I can do to sleep 6 hours every night and not lose my head when I’m awake.

But if it sounds like I’m complaining – I’m not! I LOVE the holidays. People always seem a bit kinder, merriment is almost tangible in the air, and of course – Christmas music is completely acceptable. I’ve been listening to it since Thanksgiving… (more…)
Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but we started listening to Christmas music this week, attended a tree lighting in the city Saturday night, and are already preparing Christmas shopping lists. So let’s face it – the holidays are here! As such, I decided to go with a festive recipe for this month’s Secret Recipe Club reveal – these pretty Red Velvet Whoopie Pies! (more…)
