Call Me Betty

...Betty Crocker, that is.

Once upon a time I set out to find the perfect homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe.
It's no secret that I'm a chocolate chip cookie lover, and let's be honest, there really isn't anything better than a fresh-out-of-the-oven, ooey gooey, need-a-big-glass-of-milk to follow it up, chocolate chip cookie.

I began my venture nearly three years ago, and I am proud to say that as of June 16th, I accomplished my goal.

I had given up on believing pinteresters claims that they held the secret to the best cookie recipe, so I found two that looked promising, did a little tweaking, and voila, I ended up with cookies that my father claims "are better than Mrs. Fields."
(I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever had a Mrs. Fields cookie. Shocking coming from a chocolate chip cookie connoisseur, I know, but I take that as quite the compliment :) )

Baking just feels wrong without a cute apron and some Frank Sinatra


 Now I'm no food photographer, and I don't pretend to be, so be nice.



And they actually stayed that fluffy!

Even hours later when we came home from a concert they were just as soft and delicious as they had been earlier that afternoon.


My mother will attest to the fact that I was the happiest girl alive that day.

Mission accomplished.

Bucket List

Yesterday I started a bucket list.
Here's an inside look at a few of the less personal ones...
and I promise I have more meaningful ones on there too :)

1. Watch cars on the Autobahn without ever getting on it myself
 3. Live in one house for more than five years
9. Write an entire song, music and lyrics
10. Spend Fourth of July in Washington D.C
 13. Cut my hair short, chin length short
16. Run a quarter marathon
19. Paint something to hang in my house

This should be interesting :)
