Baking

After months of sickness and staying away from the kitchen, I am baking again. Not that I'm posting about it.

Before Halloween we did Bakerella's Mummy cake pops. They turned out cute, but I was too busy to get any pics.

Also I finally made the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip bars posted on bakeat350. Absolutely loved the texture but a whole bag of chocolate chips took away the pumpkin essence and next time I'll only put in half a bag. I definitely recommend them so click on her blog and search that recipe. If you are as addicted to pumpkin goodies as I am you'll be glad you did.

Speaking of pumpkin addictions, I am so glad the Pumpkin Smash is back at Jamba Juice. I've been getting my weekly fix and I will be so sad when they take it away again. Why can't pumpkin be a year round flavor?

And, back to bakeat 350, did you see the picture of the chocolate chip cookie dough fudge? I just saw it, and since my new routine is to bake a goodie every Sunday, I was so excited. Until I realized I don't have the brown sugar (or a candy thermometer-- that's been on my to-buy list for years and I just never remember to buy one and always just try winging it). Someday I will make the fudge. I am still trying to make her chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes too. I'll just have to have a chocolate chip cookie dough treat day. And maybe for today I'll just make chocolate chip cookie dough.

And I have a new favorite blog that I will talk about soon. Not nearly as fun as chocolate chip cookie dough sweeties, but still awesome.
