Chocolate Thyme Cookies...

Hello everyone, hope you enjoyed your Valentine's weekend. I sure did, my sweet Boo surprised me with a trip to the spa, a home cooked meal of lobster and steak, complete with roses and candles set fireside. He's a total dreamboat! 

The weather here has been amazing, sorry to the rest of the country who is suffering from another winter vortex. I promise you if you make these cookies they will warm you right up. The original recipe came up on my Pinterest feed and I was instantly smitten. They were added to the top of "make me right now" list.

Raspberry Chocolate Almond Muffins and having some computer issues...

Good morning, I  hope your day is starting off great! I'm having some computer issues that started off late yesterday and you can tell by the quality of my photos in today's post. Its frustrating to say the least. 

I wanted to make a muffin for Valentine's Day morning, something that spoke love. And I LOVE the combination of raspberry, chocolate, and almond; there's something magical about it. I think its a perfect thing to wake up to besides your boo.

The Neiman Marcus Cookie and whats been happening in my crazy life...

Hello everyone! I hope that you are enjoying the start of summer, I know that we are around here. Things have been crazy awesome in my life. I'm now only working one job, for the past 3 1/2 years I have had at least two jobs, sometimes three. And I'm so happy about that fact that I only have to focus on one now, I can finally breathe and sleep.

Liam finished school a couple weeks ago, it was bittersweet. I've seen so much growth from him in his first year of preschool, its amazing! His teachers loved him, he was described as a fair friend and always up for an adventure. I'm so proud of my baby! We plan on doing a lot of fun outdoor stuff this summer, camping at the top of the list. Its just him, me, and the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Can't wait to share our adventures with you guys.

And probably the most exciting thing is that I found love. I have been single for the past 3 1/2 years and I have found someone that makes me so happy. He's the most honest, sweetest, reliable person that has come into my life in a very long time. It was all very unexpected, I wasn't "looking" for anyone, and in comes the missing piece to my puzzle. We have shared so many great times together and I only look forward to more. I love you, Boo!

Part of the reason I have been MIA lately is because I haven't been feeling like baking or creating. I've had so much on my mind that one more thing couldn't possibly fit. But I'm excited to be back, hopefully full swing before I know it.

Now, on to baking...

A couple weeks ago a coworker told me about the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe, hers were unsuccessful and she was asking for some pointers. I've seen this recipe on Pinterest and decided to give them a try. I really like this recipe, it was equally nutty, chocolaty, and chewy.
