Oven Adventures

Everyday I take the dog for a walk and I can’t get over how many houses already have their Christmas trees up. I have seen houses where the Christmas trees have been up and decorated for like 3 weeks already. I can’t even think about decorating until December 1st, and we don’t even get our tree until a week and a half before Christmas.

WARNING randomness ahead.

I am totally obsessed with The Hunger Games The Hunger Games movie. I bought it the day it came out and I’ve watched it 4 times. I am actually watching it as I type this. I did read the books first.

Here is some of my randomness that is my life….

My bf bought be tulips that I can plant for Valentine’s Day.  Tulips are my ultimate favorite flour, oops I mean flower.

This past week I was part of the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap.  I made 3 dozen of these Malted Milk Chocolate Thumbprints, packaged them up and sent them off to Shannon at Red Deer Foodie in Red Deer, AB, Kelsey at K and K Test Kitchen in Ottawa, ON and Jill at Miss Delish in Surrey.  It was so much fun deciding on what kind of cookie to make and how to package them up.  Then I waited and crossed my fingers hoping that the cookies made it there safe and sound.  It felt like you were sending the most valuable, fragile piece of art ever.  Yes I know, they were just cookies. –keep reading

I love a good deal.  I always sign up for email newsletters to get coupons.  Do I use the coupons? Very rarely.  For a while I found a couple good things off Groupon but honestly my inbox is inindated with junk email.  Do I want a pre-marital counseling video?  How ’bout 80% off laser hair removal?  Those super cute shoes that are way too expensive are back in stock….  I just can’t resist opening them and checking out every one just incase it’s the perfect deal. –keep reading
