Sunday Snacks

It never fails that I crave something sweet on Sundays. Why is that?! Well last Sunday, instead of baking something we would devour all to ourselves, I made these:

.

Cinnamon Sugar Tortilla Chips. Super easy and super delicious! Just melt some butter and spread it on 3 tortillas. Shake on some cinnamon/sugar mixture and cut into triangles. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 10 min at 350.

Delish!

Yum, Yum

A couple weeks ago I was sitting around craving something sweet and something quick. I craved cookies, but didn't want to go to all the trouble to drop each cookie on the sheet, wait for each sheet to bake...sometimes it just takes too long and I don't feel like cookies once I get halfway done the process!

I narrowed down my craving- no chocolate, no peanut butter (shockingly so) but something cinnamon- probably my second fav, next to peanut butter. So I went to my trusty best bud, Google (maybe you know him?) and searched "Snickerdoodle Cookie Bars". I found a good lookin' recipe, and an inspiring lookin' blog too. The end result-: D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

They are actually even better than this picture looks. I had to make a tweak to the recipe due to my selection of ingredients, and they tasted more like gingerbread cookie bars, but still amazing. (The recipe calls for light brown sugar, but I only had dark) Following the exact directions would be terrific as well, just more snickerdoodly!

I will definitely make them again, and if you want to make them too just visit this great little blog "One Ordinary Day".

Side note: If you have the baking bug like I've had lately, take a peak at the sidebar under "edible distractions". There are some great cooking/baking blogs to check out...but be prepared, you will want to make EVERYTHING!!

Thanks Martha!

Martha was kind enough to send me a housewarming gift a few weeks ago! (She also had the audacity to sneak in a magazine subscription request, but we'll overlook that for now). Since we're such good friends she knew that I was thinking about trying out some sort of banana cookie recipe (once I took the time to find one) and generously sent  me one of her faves.

I was nervous at first with the whole wheat flour (sometimes I just don't like to mix my healthy with my not) but as it turns out, you can't event taste it! I was also nervous because the dough ended up quite runny- as far a cookie dough goes. I should have never doubted Martha. The cookies were great and a huge hit with Scott, the missionaries, and Megan. (I don't think I've introduced Meg yet. I work with her at bv and she's great. She's also a great cook so her opinion is quite important- unlike the first 2 listed who are very easy to please.)

Anyway, you can find the recipe here if you're interested. The photo is courtesy of Martha, but I swear mine looked exactly the same (although I did not take the time to build a tower).
