OREO Brownies

I'm pretty sure I've already established my love of chocolate, and brownies....and Oreos...

Why not put 'em all together?! These are my favorite brownies that I've made to-date. YUM! So so good- I even froze a few to have later when I want a treat!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!

First birthday in the Taste of DC office! This is a peanut butter banana cake, frosted with chocolate peanut butter frosting, and then topped off with peanuts for the words!
I must say, it was finger-licking good. YUM!

Baking Update: yumyumyum

It's been a little while since I posted, but don't worry- I haven't stopped baking! My photos here aren't fantastic, but the treats were scrumptious! I brought 'em into work at Taste of DC!

Here's a little recap...

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Classic.

Chocolate cookies with mint chips, dark chocolate chips, and peppermint pattie chunks. SO good. These were truly addicting.

And finally, fudgy peanut butter swirl brownies. I love anything and everything that combines chocolate & peanut butter, and these are no exception! I've made them before- always chocolaty, fudgy, peanut buttery goodness. YUM

Lemon Coconut Cookies

I wanted to make a lighter, summer-y cookie; this is what I came up with! A wonderful lemon coconut cookie dusted with powdered sugar. The perfect amount of sweetness to be a treat, but light enough to enjoy on a hot Washington, DC summer day :) Enjoy!

Zucchini Spice Cake! YUM

This is DELICIOUS! A wonderful, moist, flavorful spice cake. And full of zucchini! Perfect as a breakfast bread, snack, or even dessert!

Taste of DC: Day 1!

Today was day 1 at Taste of DC! So of course, baked goods were in order. These are peanut butter-oatmeal-chocolate chip-m&m cookies. Definitely one of my favorites, and I think they went over very well :)

Oreo Overload

I LOVE Oreos. A lot. So it's only natural that I would make a cupcake like this. It's an oreo cupcake (aka vanilla cupcake with oreos mixed in), with oreo frosting, and an oreo on top. YUM! Didn't make these for any particular reason, so let me know if you want one!

Brownies, muffins, and mac & cheese!

Ok so this is a catch-up post for the things I've been making for everyone to enjoy during finals week!

These are my DELICIOUS homemade, fudgy, chocolate chunk brownies! There are also brownie-cookie bars too!




These are tasty, very healthy muffins. They are oatmeal and whole wheat, fat-free muffins. Some of them have apple butter in the middle. A delicious and nutritious part of a healthy breakfast :)!


And finally, this is homemade mac & cheese with breadcrumbs on top. So so tasty-- you'll never want the box kind again!

Hot Chocolate Cookies?! mmmhmmmmmmmm

So, Monday starts finals. A lot of you know that I try to provide a little extra boost for everyone during finals time, and by boost I mean an awesome treat like every day. That time.starts.NOW!! First thing on the baking-for-finals list: hot chocolate cookies with YORK pieces. yes, the base of these cookies has hot chocolate mix in them, and if you don't know what york pieces are, they are the equivalent of what reeses pieces are to a reeses cup. Our CHAPTER PRESIDENT says these may be the best thing she's ever had from me (<3 you). And with that, GOOD LUCK studying for finals everyone! (if you want cookies text me)

Chocolate Cupcakes and Red Wine Cookies!

YUM!!! That pretty much sums up what I have to say about these! I made my favorite homemade chocolate cupcakes and frosted half with vanilla frosting and half with chocolate frosting. Then put some oreos on some of each kind. mmmmmmmmm.



And here are one of my newest creations, red wine cookies. Yes, the main ingredient in these cookies is in fact red wine!! These are an Italian cookie, and they're delicious! A common reaction people had when eating them was "oo, cool." they have a nice sweetness to them from them raw sugar that they're rolled in and the wine creates a unique flavor.
