My Favorite Things: Holiday Cooking

One of the many things I love about blogging is the connections I've made with so many different people from all walks of life--people that if we were to meet at Hellmart, we might not even look twice at each other, but because we have the commonality of blogging, we're soul sisters (or misters). So, on Saturday night when I baked my famous triple chip cookies and they all came out looking like this:

I took to Facebook and tagged some of my foodie blogger friends like Debbie, Julie and Rachel. I figured that they could give me a quick fix. And they did. But so did a lot of other people. In fact, I got sixty-nine comments on my picture of my sad excuse for cookies. In fact, one of my favorite high school sophomores (ahem, Kaycee) said, "Were they supposed to look like fake vomit?" No. No they were not, but I'll keep that in mind for April Fool's Day or maybe next Halloween.

The cookies were still not fixed. I'm blaming old baking soda. PSA: Baking soda expires. Did you know that? I know that (now). They should put that on the box.

The good news is that I made a batch of Spicy Nuts, which I love saying, and didn't need anyone's assistance because they came out fabulously. In fact, they are so good that they are all gone.

 

Of course, the cookies are all gone, too. Even though they looked like fake vomit, they tasted like awesomeness.

I love holiday baking!

Foodie Friday: Street Smart

This was in the green room when I made my national television debut on a syndicated talk show. I tried it, but not a lot of it because I didn't want to be all kinds of farty (um, my apologies to my mother and editor), GASSY on national television. Plus, when one goes to NYC, healthy is not usually how one intends to eat.

 Greasy pizza from the street. This is what one wants to eat when in NYC. I ate it. I ate it all. I might have even dropped a mushroom down my bra, fished it out and ate it anyway all while standing on Broadway.

Wanna know what else I did in NYC? Then buy the book.

Plus, you'll be getting a sneak peak at my up-and-coming book, Oversharing My Life (published Buzz Books USA). In that particular sneak peak chapter, I explain in great detail why I'm not a gourmet chef.
