Homemade mac & cheese!

Mixin' it up a little bit! Here is my first savory posting! Homemade (baked) mac & cheese!

Now, I planned on taking a picture of it right when it came out of the oven, but I forgot and within 5 minutes of the pan sitting on the stove, it looked like this:


So I guess everyone liked it!! Way better than the stuff from a box! Gooey and delicious!

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups!

Once you have these, you'll never buy Reese's again!!

I first made these for my brother's 16th birthday! Since I was in DC, and he was in MA, I knew I had to make something that could be shipped. Made these, sent him half, and kept half for me and my old roommate (and best friend in the whole world <3 you). A few special other people got to try them too :) Will definitely make again!!

hint: there is not only peanut butter in the center, but also peanut butter mixed in with the chocolate!!




Apple Pie!

Alright, I am definitely going out of order in my posts here, but I couldn't leave this out!
This is the apple pie I made for Thanksgiving this year at my family's Thanksgiving dinner. It has no filler (like tapioca or anything like that), which makes for a fresh, appley pie in a flaky homemade crust.

Make it every Fall, at least for Thanksgiving! I can made it anytime though!

I also made it this year for the RHA "Thanksgiving Dinner Meeting!" :)
