here we go...launch!

I recently got my first smartphone with a better camera than the one I currently have; I took to taking copious amounts of pictures of the things I bake, what I eat, and what I do throughout my days. In an attempt to minimize how much I infiltrate the Facebook news feeds of my friends, I've decided to start keeping track of my happenings here!

Last weekend I spent Saturday morning at McKinley Park with Jen and our doggies. It was a sunny day and the park was great (except for the duck poop), and it was nice to get to catch up.

Jen, taking a break in the shade with the doggies...

 Penny was trying to get away!

I've been back at work for a couple of weeks now, but spent a lot of time over my "spring break" in Chico making some yummy treats (repeats for those that see my stuff on Facebook, my apologies)....

My greatest accomplishment....vanilla parisian macarons!

 Chex Muddie Buddies

 Dark chocolate almond joy

 Brown butter chocolate chip cookies

And I had to include Penny :)
