Routine Life

Seems like my life's just one big cycle these days on repeat..... sleep, exercise, work, eat, homework, sleep....school, exercise, work, homework, eat, sleep....and so on....

But hey, at least I have a study partner! Too bad she sleeps on the book, rather than trying to help me read it!
And then of course she gets restless and would rather play with my pen ....


Oh Thornton Kitty.....what I am going to do with you!

"My personal trainer feeds me brownies and cookies..."

Yeah, that's what Casey said after I had another day of baking. Yeah yeah, I know Im probably a bad influence at this point, but I share the wealth! I've taken a majority of them to work and friends so they're not here to tempt us.

Anyway, I made peanut butter and chocolate marble-swirled brownies. Those turned out absolutely delicious and to-die-for! And it was super easy and fun to make them.

Then after I ran some errands, went for a run and started to get ready for work, I thought I'd like to make this batch of cookies that sounded delicious. Well, it was like speed baking, coz I needed to get the ingredients measured and mixed and in the oven before I left for work...which was in an hour and a half. As Casey put it "I think you bit off a little more than you could chew babe." He may have been right, but these also turned out delicious!

They are called "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink cookies" and they literally do have everything in them! I left out the pecans they called for, since some people are allergic to nuts....but I put in everything else! Rice krispies, shaved coconut, chocolate chips, oats and all the sugar/butter/flour ingredients. Yumm!!! I still have a mound of cookies to get rid of. Good thing I work at 3 different places!
