Hello Friends! Most of my recipes on this blog aren’t revolutionary. Tasty, but really, I am just a college gal who has a love for baking and nutrition, not a culinary genius. Some recipes I have simply modified from other recipes, which of course I cite those sources. This is one of those instances. I…

{MIMM #3} Christmas Baking Party #1
Hello Friends! I don’t host any holidays currently, so I like to bring goodies to each holiday party I attend. For Christmas, I like to bake…A LOT! A couple of years ago I worked at the waitressing job until late, then was up until 2am baking and decorating sugar cookies. You know, because they had…
{Faithful Friday #2} Crazy!
Hello Friends! What are you crazy about? My pastor asked this question on Sunday and it really made me think. He listed off things like “your kids, cooking, working out, sports…what are you CRAZY about??” He also asked what people would think we are crazy about if they looked at our social media sites like…
One of THOSE Days
Hello Friends! Today has been…well interesting. I had the “day off.” So of course I had a to-do list!! It involved going to the city where I go to school (is it weird that I still don’t want to disclose that personal of information on my blog??), which is an hour away. The reason for…
Whole Wheat Chocolate-Peanut Chip Oat Cookies
Hello Friends! Now say this 10 times fast! Yes, it’s a long name for a cookie, but I have so many cookie recipes that I really need to get more specific. I wanted to name them semi-healthy delights, but will I remember what exactly that means a year from now when I’m looking for the…
What Can *I* Do? Hurricane Sandy Relief
Dear Friends, I live in Nebraska, so although I have seen the devastation of hurricane Sandy on the news…it really doesn’t seem real. I don’t know anyone there, so I haven’t heard any personal accounts. It’s almost (almost) easy to pretend that it’s not real…kind of like how I like to ignore most of the…
{WIAW #44} Happy Halloween
Hello Friends! Friday was the first time I ever ever carved a pumpkin by myself. Really. You think I’m joking? Would you like to make fun of me like the cashier did at HyVee Friday night? “Any big plans this evening?” cashier says as he is scanning my pumpkin and carving kit….
Apple Cider Cupcakes and Pumpkin Pie Shots
Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I hope you all slept in or if you did not, I hope you got up early to do something awesome. Such as running 10 miles. Or baking a pie. Or leaving for a tropical vacation. Or whatever you define as awesome. I made myself coffee, which usually seems too time…
No More Free Coffee + Pepperful Panburger Partner
Hello Friends! So in the midst of fervently studying for my second Chemistry exam that took place this evening, I get an e-mail from my boss at the coffee catering gig. I haven’t heard from her for a whole month, since the last e-mailing incident. I really should have just kept plugging away at my…
The Art of Sleep
Hello friends! I’ve already written a couple of posts about sleep, but I’ve been slacking in the sleep department recently and thought I’d bring out a post I did for Janetha a few months back to help us review the art of sleep. 🙂 (It’s a little lengthy, just to warn ya, but that just…
