Mmm...tasty treat!

What do you need for this yummy treat?

Sliced Hawaiian sweet bread + PB + honey = A super tasty treat!

I highly recommend getting a loaf of this new sliced King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread for yummy sandwiches!

Happy Graduation John!

My little brother, John, is graduating from Cal State Fullerton tomorrow and I made these yummy little treats for his party. Thanks to Bakerella for the fantastic idea!

What do you get when you mix these yummy things together?

This adorable creation!

Congrats Little Buddy! I'm so proud of you! :)

Mmm...Seared AhiI

We ate this meal a few weeks ago, but we were at Costco and decided to be crazy and try to cook something new. We picked up some ahi and made seared ahi. It wasn't as good as it would have been if it had been cooked by a professional, but it was quite tasty for our first time!

Super Cute Owl and Bird Cupcakes!

If you know me, you know that I absolutely LOVE owls and birds! I know that I keep posting pictures and links from the most amazing blog EVER, Hostess With the Mostess, but honestly she is fantastic! How adorable are these cupcakes?!?! 

I have already picked out nursery decor if we end up with a baby girl, and it is all owls and birds, so these cupcake totally 'tickle my fancy!'

EDITED: No, I am not pregnant. I wrote the baby girl comment and it sounded like I was pregnant!

Chocolatey Goodness!

Thanks to the lovely Hostess with the Mostess, I saw this yumminess! I so want to make the peanut butter chocolate chip muffins!!!

You can also find the recipes here.

Christmas Turkey!

I made a turkey for the first time. I was very nervous, but it turned out great!

Extraordinary Desserts

We went to Extraordinary Desserts in San Diego last night and it truly was extraordinary! I had the most delicious raspberry chocolate cake and Casey had some sort of passion fruit goodness. Each dessert cost $8.50, but well worth it! If you are in San Diego, you must visit Extraordinary Desserts! There are two locations. One in Little Italy and one in Banker's Hill.

Cheap Night at the Landing!

Hannah and I went to Newport Landing for dinner and it was their famous $3.00 night. We got super strong mai tais, calamari, and cheeseburgers for a whopping $16.00! That is unheard of! I love it!

Yummy Biscuits

I had a random urge to bake something yesterday. I found a recipe in one of my cookbooks for cheddar chive biscuits. They didn't look like normal biscuits, but they sure tasted good! The best part, Casey loved them!

NJ has some good brews!

When we were in Sparta, NJ for the wedding, we checked out their local pub. They have their own brewery and we were quite impressed with the beers!

I'll Have the "Usual"

Why is it that we find something that we like and stick with it. I always tend to get the same things when we go out and rarely "change it up." I always try to find something else to order, but typically end up getting the same old things. For example, Janine and I went to Yard House today for a delicioso lunch date and we searched and searched the beer menu, only to end up ordering the same exact beer that we always order...Janine got Blue Moon and I got Spaten Optimator (see photo). It then came time to order our food. I was crazy and ordered something new (but I always get the chicken enchilada stack), but our buddy Janine ordered her "usual"...a cheeseburger (see photo). I want to be new and interesting, but there are so many wonderful things that I consider my "usuals." We'll see what we order next time!

Two Gin/Tonics + Very Little Sleep = Horrible Day

Enough said.

Pumpkin Ice Cream...Yum!

Whoever created this stuff is the best! (Yes it is backwards, thanks to PhotoBooth on my Mac!) I think that I could open the carton and eat the entire thing!
