I am so so so glad you're here today, because today I'm having a special bloggiversary party to kick off two very important things: my blog's 4th birthday (omg!), and my blog's new design (yay!). It's so crazy to think that four years ago, I had just created this blog. I was so excited to get started and create something that was completely my own where I could share my funny

Bacon Shortbread Cookies {3 Ingredients!}
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, just like today's recipe. And honnnney - today's recipe is the bees knees. It's bacon-wrapped cookies, people. And it's pretty darn phenomenal if I do say so myself. This recipe (which I struggle to deem a 'recipe') isn't really one at all. It was adapted from The Pioneer Woman's famous Bacon-Wrapped Crackers which I have had and yes, they

Strawberry & Nutella Croissants
So after posting my 3-Ingredient Nutella Croissants, I've had these flaky, heavenly pastries on the brain. And while I don't typically endorse fruit-fillings in well, anything, I was shocked when I put a jar of strawberry jam in my cart to make these Strawberry & Nutella Croissants. Consider it an out-of-body experience, because these croissants are the bees knees and

Red Velvet Seven Layer Bars
Most of the time, I know I'm really, truly a woman. I love makeup, I'm obsessed with anything glittery, I own several tutus, and the semi-annual sale at Victoria's Secret gets me giddy. But. There are a couple of girlie things I could never, ever get behind. Things that often make me question if I'm actually a girl since they rock the girl-code a little. Things like... Hating

Chocolate Cherry Cookie Bites
It's come to my immediate realization that I've never had anyone do anything romantic for me. Like, ever. After reading a forum on a website which asked the question, "what was the most romantic thing someone's done for you?" I realized that no one has done anything remotely romantic for me. Why I'm incapable of having romantic things happening to me, I do not know, but I

Best Ever Fudge Brownies
So I recently had a startling revelation: I actually do have a sweet tooth. After years and years of staunchly denying my sweet tooth, telling people that I have a 'salty tooth' in reference to my preference for chips, fries, pickles, and all things salty, I finally realized I'm a liar because I effing love sweets and what the hell was I ever talking about? (Related: I

Strawberry Meringues
So, unless you were born today, the Super Bowl was yesterday. And if you have Facebook friends like mine, they were updating you with play-by-plays the entire freaking time. Like, I get it. If I wanted to watch approximately 235974 hours of football, I would be doing so. But I use Facebook as an escape - a way to creepily peer into the lives of my friends and acquaintances, not

Coconut Ranger Cookies {And My Caribbean Vacay Recap!}
So if you've been following me on Instagram, you know I went on a blog-related Caribbean cruise a couple weeks ago. And it was amazing. It was my first time cruising, so I was a little *teensy* bit skeptical. I mean, what if we encountered a rogue iceberg? Or killer pirates? Or sharks with laser beams on their heads, Austin Powers-style? It could happen. But none of it did

Creamy Cannoli Dip
Today's post is about combining two of my absolute favorite things: New York cannolis, and California Dairy. What could be a better mash-up?! By creating a phenomenal, creamy dip out of rich, California Dairy products from my home state, inspired by my future-home (I hope!) in New York City, the Land of Cannolis (unofficially, but it's true), I have managed to combine both of

Ultra Soft & Chewy White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies
Macadamia Nut cookies are one of my favorite cookies ever, but I often forget about them. It's not like they're boring or hard to make or anything; it's just that I never really see them anywhere and that needs to change immediately, methinks. Many years ago, we lived near this really old, dilapidated mall called Sunrise Mall. It was super ghetto and all the good stores started
