Sometimes it's cold, sometimes I bake

Let me start off by saying, I love to bake. Due to my sensitive stomach and pretty strict diet, generally I don't bake things I can't eat - such as "normal" cookies, however, ever once in awhile I get a baking bug....
(Check out my Evanly Delights on the Facebook).

My absolute fave time to bake is when it's nice and cold out (and inside) - it gets so cold in our house that  the oven has to go on, so I might as well take advantage of the oven being on, right?! Right.

The other evening I started thinking about baking, when I woke up in the morning, I still wanted to bake. So, after the gym at 6 am, I made my way to the market for supplies for my (wait for it, wait for it) oreo stuffed chocolate chip cookies. Not only were they oreo stuffed, but they were double stuffed and one half of the cookie was chocolate, the other vanilla...so, I of course used white and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I shockingly didn't really eat any of the dough or the cookies, but the feedback so far has been impressive. I love putting things in cookies. Last year, I put caramels from TJ's, thin mints, somosas, next I think I shall stuff my cookies with love and marshmallows, maybe even homemade marshmallows...yes, that will be happening, if that sounds good, you should probably stay tuned, so you can get your hot little hands on them.

The Dog Who Watches T.V.

I have heard about dogs who watch T.V. but never really seen it before...until one of my 3 heard something that peaked his interest...

Yes, I am easily amused and especially amused by my beastlettes. Call me crazy and enjoy. :)

Oh 2 Years - Where Have You Gone?!

Two years ago I swore I would start blogging. Luckily, I never said when I would actually start it up again, I think today is that day. It feels like a good day to blog.

It's funny that it has already been 2 years since my last blog post and so much and so little has happened and the time seriously flew by. I remember in 1987 - I was 7 years old, at Marquez Elementary in Ms. Sakabe's (sp?) class - I believe 2nd grade (is that right? I think I was with Ms. Vazenilels - sp again?) Anyway, I remember thinking, I love being 7 and I love that it's 1987 and I hope it stays like this forever. I also remember talking to a pal of mine realizing we were both jewish and we thought that was the coolest thing ever, because it totally is. Anyway, I also remember my parents saying, enjoy it all, because it goes by fast and as much as I loved 1987 and being 7 - it felt like forever until I would turn 8 and then 9 and then 10 and so on - now time is flying by.

How did I get to be 32 years old with 3 dogs and a car payment?

I'm not really that grown up though. I mean, grown ups own irons and fold their clothes and do other grown up things that I probably don't do, like balance their checkbooks and regularly wash their cars. Actually, I've been pretty good on the car wash front.

I do have a couple of grown up jobs. I'm a project coordinator for a company that makes apps for hotels (mostly for hotels) which I love. I do social media part time. I am also a partner in an amazingly amazing company called Nerium International (yes this is my plug for Nerium, please get used to it and try not to judge me too much) - Awesomest anti-aging cream that has more than just anti aging effects, but also helps with scarring, discoloration and actually helps firm the skin (think botox, but naturally). Check it out - lots of potential: http://schoolnik.nerium.com On that note, I will now go back to my grown up jobs and check in with the bloggy blog a little later.

 Happy Monday everyone, happy monday!
