Let's talk "honest" people.
Honesty is, by far, one of the most important qualities in a person if not the most important. People already know this. They already want this. It shouldn't really need to be established since it's kind of a given, you know? No one goes around saying "I look for shady crook activity in a man--someone who I cannot trust with a paperclip, much less

Reese’s Stuffed Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
Boo! Today is Halloween!!
And I'm not trick or treating. Waaaaaah.
It seems like people have some construed ideas about trick or treating. Apparently, the older you get, the more socially-unacceptable it is to go trick or treating. With today being Halloween and politic-season rearing its ugly head, I figured I'd defend my argument against No-Adults-Allowed

Twix Brownies
Sometimes I find shopping for kitchen gadgets to be an overwhelming task.
Gone are the days where you simply shop for 13x9 inch pans, rubber spatulas and foil.
Here are the days where there's a novelty pan for um, everything, and gourmet mixes for everything and gadgets for... shaping meatloaf. Isn't that the point? That it's a loaf? Apparently I'm a

Some Guilty Pleasures...
Betsey Johnson. Obvi.
Hamburger Helper. Scrunch your nose all ya want, but I friggin' love the saucy boxed stuff.
French fries. They can do no wrong.
Ridiculously fake-long eyelashes. Love 'em.

Nonfat iced chai tea lattes at Starbucks. The $4 somehow makes them taste better. Or not.

Eyeball Pops
Eye contact.
It's kind of a pain, isn't it?
I mean, people stress that eye contact is totally imperative in job interviews and talking with people and forging connections, but really, I feel like I'm just being an obnoxious lamewad boring into your soul... a place I don't really want to go searching through in the first place.
I mean, not to say you don't

Chocolate Peanut Butter 7-Layer Bars
Do you ever feel like people just don't get you?
Like, say, if you had this really cute, fun blog on the interwebs and had like, a TON of cool internet friends you were always baking for and SOMEONE in your family decided to EAT some of your ingredients so you couldn't make what you'd wanted to?
Yeah, it's only quality invisible friendships and world domination I'm trying

Caramel Marshmallow Butterscotch Bars
I am a nosy voyeur. I am kind of obsessed with people watching and I like knowing weird information about people. Helps me justify my weird habits, I suppose.
Anyway, after seeing this adorable ABC's of Me on Sweet Bellaroos, I totally had to do it for myself. You know, so you guys can validate me.
A} Age: 21.
B} Bed Size: Twin.
C} Chore you dislike: I

Caramel Apple Bread
It's pretty apparent by the monstrous recipe index on this blog that I bake a lot. And "a lot" is a minuscule term to use how much I really bake.
Recipes are cranked out of my head and my kitchen as often as most people blink.
My family's become so used to seeing the oven on and smelling something sweet that they barely bat an eye anymore. Or mind eating stray, deformed

Skinny Pumpkin Pie Dip
I'm a bad friend.
I'm what most people call an "enabler", but I really hate that term since I heard it on Intervention relating to drug addicts, so I'd prefer to call myself a "Justifier" since I like to justify everything. Also, it sounds cool.
Justifiers are like enablers except they come up with more excuses for why someone needs/does something. Now, don't get me

Dear Future Children of Mine (assuming you exist)*,
*I understand that is a weird way to start a heartfelt letter to your children, especially if you're trying to be sincere-sounding, and especially if you DO exist, in which case you're probably like "jeez Mom, way to be all mean and just like, ASSUME I wouldn't exist or something. You're an awful mother and this letter will
