Sweet Tasty Dreams

been avoiding homework this past week and in replace of it there's been plenty of baking! yay good fun times. and can i please thank chau<3 for showing me my alltime favorite website in the world. it beats facebook by far.

Red Velvet Bonbons
these were meant to be made on Valentines Day as a 'spending time together and making something fun' kind of thing.. but we didn't make them till wednesday. oh well, at least they're delicious. the original recipe called for nothing but.. a lot of chocolate (plus cream cheese, vanilla, etc.) so i decided to add some cinnamon into the dip mix (outside layer) to make it more interesting.















they look like hills of poo.
















Snickerdoodle Cookies

I looked for the simplest recipe for Snickerdoodles because thats what i was craving and was short on ingredients in the apartment. So these were technically just sugar cookies coated in cinnamon+sugar. we made them twice because my roommate had finished the first batch a bit too quickly. the first attempt, we decided to add sweetened coconut shreds in just because it was so tempting.. not such a great idea. the second attempt was a bit better i guess. too bad the recipe only made about 7 - 8 small cookies.















my only picture =(

Snickerdoodle Blondies
this was the most exciting recipe of the week, and they turned out reaaalll good. it's a shame i didnt have any vanilla icecream to top them off them, but don't matta. I guess i had a shitload of cinnamon this week since i used it in all my sweets..



















before the oven..














after. they're most exciting when cut up. mmm..

i wanna go for salty recipes next.. so on my list:
Parmesan Crusted Baked Zucchini Sticks (w/ Marinara Sauce)
Fried Glass Noodles (sounds weird but looks good)
Soba Noodle Salad w/ Sweet and Spicy Tofu
zomg i'm so excited.
