Macarons!

I had my second trip to Trader Joe's this weekend and finally got my hands on some cookie butter! 

That stuff really is good.  Only one jar per customer :-(  I also managed to find some macarons.  This was my first time having them, I loved the texture but the flavor was just meh.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to make them at home, I've heard they are challenging, but I found a recipe this morning for Frosted Flakes Macarons.  I may just have to try.

Homemade Ding Dongs

I used to love when my mom would put those foil covered ding dongs in my lunch when I was a kid.  Usually with a bologna (who still eats that anyway) and some doritos.

I don't normally eat them anymore because of all the bad ingredients in them now.  I think I will give this homemade recipe a try!

I'm born and raised in Texas, never left it.  My husband is from Scotland and has been to quite a few places.  At least a lot more than me.  I hope to someday to take our boys to some of these places.  At least the ones that are in the US.  I'm not much of a plane person.

Valentine's

I love, love, love Valentine's Day.  I love the hearts everywhere, the pink, red & white EVERYTHING!  I almost wish I could decorate a room in my house with Valentine colors.  I am planning on making the boys Valentine class favors this year, although I haven't decided which I should do.
