PinterTest Kitchen #2

its not secret the i love to bake.spending time in my kitchen is therapy.if things are crazy or stressed, i bake.even with little people in the kitchen helping me, this relaxes me.creating food and feeding people bring me joy.
i tend to stick with my old stand bys.in the last month or so i have had the opportunity to deliver meals to a few families and this gave me the opportunity to pour over my pinterest pins and try some new recipes.{with the old faithfuls as back up in case we had a fail :o) }

first up: cake batter blondies

i love me a good blondie.  these bars did not disappoint.

they were so yummy.

they were quick and easy = bonus points.

up next: cinnamon roll cake 

oh my word this cake was delicious!

i think it tasted more like a coffee cake than a cinnamon roll but it was soo good.

this was another quick and easy recipe.

a definite keeper.

we had a football party to attend one weekend and i was to bring dessert stuff.

i had been eyeing this cookie dough dip for weeks.

 this was a. to the mazing!

oh my word.

i really didn't want to share it with anyone.

it was so so good.

the toffee bits are the perfect surprise in the dip.

this is a definite keeper and one of my new favorite things.

i also made monster cookie bars to bring to the party.

 they were a fail and didn't make it out of the kitchen.

{thankfully i had a back up plan :o) }

i may try them again and cook them for a shorter amount of time as they were really dry.

we will see i am pretty partial to a monster cookie.

i did one crafty project this month.

i've been working on prepping for mauryn's birthday party.

 i knew i wanted to make a bunting for over our patio doors in the kitchen.

i also knew the project would go smoothly if i had a tutorial.

this tutorial was easy to follow with a  cute little bunting completed in no time.

thank you pinterest!

i can't wait to hang it up next week for her party!!!
