Cristi's Shower

knowing i had a month to practice i decided to make baby bottle cookies for my friend Cristi's shower.. it was today and they were a hit! *

and i stitched up a piece of canvas this morning in lieu of wrapping paper.. i thought it turned out nice.. and how cute is the teething toy?!

*ya.. i'll take orders....

my cookie inspiration .. my friend jenny

busy girl

in the last week i've sold most of our furniture, had our apartment painted, packed up most of our belongings- stored them, spoken with half dozen real estate attorneys- picked one, staged the apartment for our first open house, got approved for a mortgage, baked a zillion cookies, saw an opera, AND fitnessed every day! oh and i still went to work...

i fucking rock at this housewife shit.

granted, i did go beverly on michael last night..

i made another batch of cake pops ..
ever since i started working with a trainer i've been baking like crazy..

i guess i figure if everyone around me gets fat it'll make me feel like im seeing results faster

recipe here, deconstructed of course

cake pops

yesterday i got a little crazy with red velvet cake and ended up with cake pops..

i think i can really get behind these.. a little labor intensive but cooler than cupcakes, great for portion control, and fn delicious...

and if you can't control how much you eat you can always shove the stick down your throat and launch...

brodie was trying to snag one all day...

red velvet recipe

frosting... 1 pkg cream cheese... 1 stick unsalted butter... dash vanilla... handful (or two) powdered sugar
