Some of you may know, but I recently got a new "grown-up" job. It's the most adult-y job I've had in ever. I'm getting my own cubicle. And phone line (!!!) and business email. And OMG, it's the kinda job that asks you to wear "business casual." In other words, I have made it to the adult world, people.*
*not really
And while I really enjoy the job so far, I feel like

Pineapple Mojito Cupcakes
We have this family friend who staunchly claims that her half brother is in an extremely popular boy band that has to do with a "single direction." She claims this boy band member supposedly knows she exists and they've met and talked before, but aren't close because of some past parental drama.
However, she never mentions this around anyone other than my sister. And if

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Monkey Bread Muffins
Sometimes, some days, recipes don't need stories attached to them.
It's not that I don't have anything witty to say to you, or something deeply interesting to tell you.. oh wait, I don't. Sorry.
I feel like such a letdown! I know a lot of you come here for the recipe and couldn't care less about my fear of mountain lions or my love for Jennifer Lawrence, but a lot of

S’mores Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Tis the season for camping, being eating alive by mosquitoes and wearing nothing but bikinis.
For many people, this is their favorite season. But for the rational, practical people, summer sucks, man.
Every year, without fail, my family (sans my mother, who is rational) begs me to go camping with them in the mountains. They promise several days without cell reception,

Galactic Crunch (Star Crunch Copycat)
So let's get one thing straight, shall we?
I am completely and utterly a product of convenience.
Growing up, my family rarely made home-cooked meals, and I don't have fond memories (or well, any memories) of rolling out sugar cookies and baking pies with grandparents. If we're being honest, I ate fast-food at least five days a week, and lived exclusively on snack

Monster Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
So. House Hunters.
You know that show on HGTV that focuses on some random couple who get to pick between three different houses? Yeah, that one. I actually really like the show -- it's neat to see the different layouts of other homes, and especially see what homes look like internationally. However, I LOATHE the people on the show.
Sometimes I wonder in what

Birthday Cake Cannolis
Oh my gawwwwd you guys.
So, let's be honest here. In the last year or so, I have gained around 20 pounds. No, that isn't a typo. Twenty. Friggin. Ell-Bees. How and why are beyond my comprehension, but I'm guessing it's because I've been far too friendly to french fries and ice cream sundaes.
And just so you know, french fries and ice cream sundaes are NEVER your

Not Yo Mama’s Cake Batter Donuts
Not long ago, I had a grown-up person interview for a grown-up person job!
...which meant I had to dig through my closet of costumes to find something slightly less outrageous to wear. I thought I'd had a pair of slacks sitting alone in the depths of my closet, but apparently the costumes nearby consumed it and barfed out more colors and glitter and tutus because

[4 Ingredient] Mother Clucker Donuts
I did a lot of 'first things' while I was in Austin.
I met Ree for the first time.
I had a donut with chicken on it for the first time.
And, oh yeah, I was led astray by the blogging conference and taken to a bar where there was supposed to be a sanctioned after-party but where, in fact, there was no one blogging related there except myself and Sarah, and
