Adventures in baking

I've been a busy bee! Yesterday I made chocolate chip pumpkin loaf and there are pumpkin cheesecake bars cooling as we type.  I just discovered this amazing cooking blog: Our Best Bites and I'm addicted! My roomie and I are going to make the baked chicken penne tomorrow.  Yum!  I also recently acquired a recipe for homemade chicken strips! It's super easy and uses crushed soda crackers.  In case you haven't figured it out by now I. Love. Food.  A lot.  It's a small miracle I'm not 300 lbs! In fact, I have been known to walk into my roomies room crying that there is nothing with sugar in the the apartment.  All I have right now is oreos, and they just don't do it a lot of the time.  Hmmm I know my RA/friend has sorbet in his freezer...

And like the old lady I am, aforementioned roomie and I will spend our Friday night watching the new episode of Say Yes to the Dress :P The icing on the cake? I'll be working on a scarf I'm knitting for my sweet friend Merran! Sweet Jesus when did I get so old?!

*update* pumpkin cheesecake bars are delicious!

  1. Ok so many things to say!
    I also LOVE Our Best Bites.
    I also LOVE food, and wonder why I don't weight a lot more than I do lol.
    I also often search through all the cupboards to end up finding nothing that I'm craving.
    I also LOVE knitting, and have a huge patchwork blanket in the making.

    You've convinced me to go make my chocolate chip banana cake!

  5. Ha ha I love that you knit and are baking! I know how to crochet, but you are encouraging me to bake. I'm an epic failure when it comes to baking, lol.

  6. I have yet to learn to crochet, but I'm planning on it! I hear it's faster than knitting.
