Sugar Cookies

I don't bake desserts very often, but I needed to make some treats for a get-together with friends this past week and decided to make some sugar cookies. I looked around the web for a soft sugar cookie recipe and came across University of Cookie's recipe. I made the recipe without frosting because that felt like it would be sugar overload. The final product was delicious, and I used a fun alligator cookie cutter to make the cookies extra special.

They were a hit! Just don't cook them very long. Do any of you have a favorite cookie recipe?

I also came across the fun "Call Me Maybe: Military Version" video today. You should see it. :-)

Brownies for my brother

I must apologize for posting so infrequently this semester. I have never been busier, what with balancing school, work, dance, and applying for jobs - I graduate next month!! I shall definitely endeavor to write more once I have graduated and have a job lined up, and I look forward to sharing my new home and city with you all. Champaign-Urbana has been a wonderful place to call home these past couple of years. :-)

I shall share a couple food pictures with you all today. I visited my brother this past weekend and baked some brownies to bring to him. He loved them... and so did I. :-)

I also recently went to IHOP and tried their tasty and relatively healthy SIMPLE & FIT Blueberry Harvest Grain 'N Nut® Combo. Part of it is pictured below.

Take care everyone and enjoy some fun spring activities! I've really enjoyed running outside lately, especially when the air is thick with the aroma of flowers.
