Super Sweet Sugar Study Day

Dum, duh, dum, dum, duuuuuuuuum!!! It's finals week next week!!! Aaaa!! Time to crack down and start the legit studying! Now, SUU being awesome, the school gives us the Friday before finals week off so that we can study our little hearts out. But who can really be that focused without any help? No one! At least Kiersten and I can't ;P So we need a little sugary assistance. We did this last semester and loved it, so we decided to do it again. Basically, we make as much treats as we want and eat them all throughout the day, killing our bodies, and enriching our minds with course material. It's a stupid thing we do, yes, but will we continue doing it? Of course ;)

 This S.S.S.S.D. I made these and these. Both were extremely rich and extremely delicious. You ate one and you NEEDED to be done, but you couldn't help but eat more ;) Kiersten made some other treats and we had the best chocolate covered ice-cream cones. Overall, we had enough to feed the whole building. But it was just the two of us ;)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter all! In celebration of Christ's resurrection, I decided to make the symbolic, yet delicious Easter Rolls. Just like Christ when He was placed in the tomb, these rolls have something special inside of them that after they are baked aren't there anymore, just like Christ wasn't there after He was resurrected.

Inception Brownies

Will Pinterest cease to fill me with delicious baking ideas? I think not! But since this is like the third time I've talked about Pinterest, I guess I should introduce it to those who sadly haven't heard of it. This is the website, if you want an invite, just put a lil comment and I'll send you one :) Careful though, it's addicting! 

Alright, so that being said, I pinned this on my board one day and decided to treat my friends and I. Using my this brownies recipe, I began to create what was soon to be the death of me. Here's all you gotta do. Follow the brownie recipe (I nixed the chocolate and mint chips, but I bet they would be delish with it!), pour just enough batter in a pan to cover the bottom, place Oreos wherever your heart desires, cover with the rest of the batter, bake, cut, taste, die, be reborn, and repeat.

P.S. in case you were curious, I changed my treat day from Monday to Friday. I love having it be on Monday's, because it starts the week out great ;) It's just a lot easier to not have to say no to delicious snacks when I'm with my friends and such on a Friday night. Let's see how this works out :)

Salmon Salad

It's summer. It's hot. Don't touch me. Only feed me delicious, cold, filling food. What's that? You don't know any? Shame. Here, this is the only one you'll need.

Cute 'Lil Sugar Cookies

Spring break is over and I'm back at school. That's cool and all, but I'm bored and want to use my new Kitchen Aid that I came home to! So after searching for a while, I found these. Well, I didn't have anything to make the cinnamon part with, so I just made these into cute 'lil regular cookies :) And instead of using that glaze recipe, I used this one. Although it wasn't my treat day, so I didn't have any, my roommates said they were good, so I'll take their word for it ;)

Coconut Cream Pie

I love coconut. I really do. So why have I never tried Coconut Cream Pie before? Your guess is as good as mine! But, being home (meaning not having to buy the ingredients) I decided to make it! Plus my family had made it while I was at school and I was bummed I missed out on it :P Anyways! This. Was. Heaven. Holy cow!!! Probably one of my favorite desserts now! I can't believe I've never tried this delectable mean until now! Don't be a sinner like me and try it now. Right now. I mean it.

Pumpkin Pie

My younger older brother got back from faithfully serving a mission today!! Hurray!! The whole family is now back together again :) Now in honor of his homecoming, I decided to make his favorite dessert, which just so happens to be this. Bon appetite and welcome home brother :)
