The Oreo Dessert

Also known as Theeeeeeee Oreo Dessert. This is another one of those classics I'm ashamed that I haven't shared with you yet. I really don't know how you've gotten by without it for so long. But seriously, you guys need to give me a break. I am on vacation after all.

Photography 101

I don't pretend to be a professional photographer. I know that I still have a lot to learn, just like everything else in life. But so many of you ask me for photography tips every day that I suppose it's only fair to humor you.

Now, some of you may be satisfied with the simple summary I usually give people: I use a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lens and all natural lighting. If that's all you wanted to know, feel free to leave now and go on with your life. If you came here to learn all the knowledge I have collected in my browsing of articles and other tidbits on the internet (and my own experience), kick back and grab a bag of peanut m&ms, cause here we go.

Maple Bacon Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Texas Sheet Cake with Rocky Road Fudge Frosting

Say hello to my big messy pile of chocolatey bliss. It's a family tradition, you see. This is Beanie's recipe, but something similar can be found in just about any church cookbook across the country. The reason Beanie's is so fabulous is because that shiny, fudgy frosting is loaded with mini marshmallows. Um... HELLO.
