Caramel Cinnamon Chip Cookies
A few weeks ago I discovered the Duncan Hines caramel cake mix at my grocery store. I’m not sure how long it’s been out but I was glad to see a quick alternative to my scratch caramel cake, which takes me HOURS to make!

Okay everyone, I finally have a recipe for you. And boy is it worth the wait.
Last weekend my friend Meghan and I headed into D.C. for VegFest 2011.
The past few weeks have been filled with travel and work, which hasn’t left me much time for baking. I managed to make a few things but none turned out quite right. The granola, granola cookies, banana bread cookies, and banana bread were all just “eh.” Except the granola cookies. They were just…..weird.
So, I haven’t been posting because there really wasn’t much to post about. Today, while looking through my picture archives, I noticed this peanut butter banana bread that I made waaaay back and had yet to post.

I got all excited thinking I finally had something to post. But then I thought: ‘maybe the reason I didn’t post the recipe was because it didn’t taste good?’ Although the bread looks delicious to me in the pictures, I’m not exactly sure how it tasted. To avoid giving out a horrible recipe, I leave you today with only pictures. I’ll eventually get around to making this again and will have a recipe for you then!

Boy, let me tell you, with 3 earthquakes and a hurricane all in the same week, I’m a little stressed. And when I’m stressed I eat.
Enter: Cinnamon roll cake.
Every time I open the refrigerator door, it’s there. Staring me down.
I glance quickly at it and think “oh I need to use that up soon.” I push it to the back of the shelf, grab what I need and close the door. However, it always seems to find its way to the front again. That jar of apple butter.
This year for my husband’s birthday, he finally let me make a cake other than Funfetti. I knew immediately what I wanted to make for him.
It has been so hot here lately that I’ve been extremely hesitant to turn the oven on to bake anything. It literally takes HOURS for my apartment to cool down once it’s on! But when I saw that Newman-O’s were on sale at the grocery store this week., I couldn’t help but pick up a pack because I knew I wanted to make these.
When I saw these on Jessica’s blog, I knew I had to make them. A cookie that tastes like a blueberry muffin? Count me in!
