My microwave and I are on the outs right now. First, you must know that our microwave is the worst in all the land. Well, maybe the second worst. It still works, so it has that going for it. But just because it works, doesn't mean it works well. In fact, it kind of sucks at life. You see, something's wrong deep inside the microwave. What may have started as a normal microwave

The Best and Easiest Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars
It is so hard meeting people as an adult. As an adult who works from home. I basically have no friends. That was almost like the saddest haiku ever, wasn't it? I went to our family's friend's birthday party over the weekend and I was hoping I'd maybe get lucky and meet someone at the two bars we were going to on a poppin' Saturday night. Maybe my knight in shining armor would

Easy Texas Sheet Cake
A couple of days ago I went to get a massage. I went to a new place close to my house because I don't really have a place near me that I've been loyal to. In fact, I don't get massages often at all (and certainly not as often as I'd like!), so I randomly decided to show up at this place. When I went in, I told the therapist I wanted a deep pressure since I've found most

Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars
It's officially back to school season.
And I am counting my lucky stars that I'm no longer in school. Phew! I do not miss the nervous energy surrounding the first day of school, the hours planning the perfect outfit, and the awkwardness of seeing everyone again after a long summer apart.
I do, however, enjoy shopping for school supplies, mainly because it's another way to

The Easiest Coconut Macaroons
So you guys know how much I hate the TV show House Hunters, right? I still hate it with a fiery passion in my soul. And my family? Loves it. It's always on in my house, probably just to spite me. I cannot fathom how anyone with emotions can successfully watch an episode without erupting into a manic rage. It is so infuriating. Everyone on that show is aggravating, nit-picking

Chewy Peanut Brittle Bars
When I was in New York a couple weeks ago, I was riding the subway one day when I noticed an elderly man sitting next to me staring at me and my legs. For those of you who have never seen my legs, they're covered in tattoos - specifically dessert tattoos. Many people are intimidated by my cupcake tattoo. *sarcasm I just smiled at him politely and continued to ride the train in

Chocolate Mint Lush Dessert
I hoooooope you guys don't see me as a one-track pony here with ALLTHELUSHDESSERTS. In my defense, these lush desserts are downright delicious.

They're seriously one of the easiest,

Easy Coconut Cream Pie
I am the worst packer. Well, the best and the worst wrapped up into one messed up person. You see, I just got home from a quick little jaunt to NYC and I spent hours packing for this long-weekend trip. Ruminating over every piece of clothing, every necklace, every cosmetic, everything. And then I packed. And promptly unpacked. And promptly repacked, after assessing I had

Cake Batter Lush Dessert
So I need new pants. I came to this conclusion when I realized after working out that my pants were see-through. Underwear. Underwear everywhere. All up in everyone's sweaty gym faces. *groans* In my defense, it wasn't like I was wearing mesh shorts to the gym. They're basic black bike shorts... ones I thought under the incorrect notion that they were opaque. I wasn't dressed
