Checked Off the Weekend List

I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It’s been cloudy, raining, dreary, drizzling, or overcast for a few days and rainy weather, alarm clocks, and Mondays don’t go together.

I went for a run and narrowly avoided getting downpoured on, which I consider a success.

Over the weekend I did a little thrift store browsing for some dishes, photography props, and various things I just can’t live without.

Unfortunately my kitchen storage space is already maxed out.

And I do mean, maxed out.

Every single drawer or cupboard has something in it.

Nothing like a 100 square foot kitchen.

So anything I buy, I really have to love-love-love or else I skip it.

As much as I hate feeling like I am letting potential great finds that I see when out and about slip away,

I have to remind myself of the cute things I’ve recently bought that I can use.

Better put those cute plates to use with some cute cookies on them.

Or make new cute cookies which sounds like fun, too.

Over the weekend I also tackled a baking project that I wanted to check off my list .

A big bowl of love: Melted peanut butter, butter, my new favorite baking chocolate , and vanilla extract.

Then I added a little bit of this, some sugar and two other kinds of chocolate , a little bit of that, and came up with a winner.

I just got done taking pictures of the finished dessert and it’s even better as a finished product than chocolate peanut butter soup was on its own.

Taste-testing as I go and sampling the goods was also on my weekend list.

Next up will be to sample one of these

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Marshmallow Stuffed Rice Krispie Bars (No Bake)

The winners of the Cascadian Farms Cereal Giveaway are:
