Crescent Breadstick things

Man. I have issues actually keeping up with this blog. Is it still a good idea? Hm....anyway. Yesterday for dinner I made my own little creation.

Fridge Crescent rolls
Parmesan Cheese
Butter
Garlic Salt

To be, this seems pretty self explanatory. Put the butter on, Cheese(be generous with it) and Garlic salt, roll up and cook as usual. I like the butter flavored rolls. So try it out and let me know what you think! Jon and I think they taste like cool little breadsticks :)

Oopsy

Okay. I feel as if I need to explain my absence's. I am married. With a child. Cooking doesn't always happen like it should. Many dinners end up being cereal, sandwich's or the wonderful "fend for yourself" meals. I'm not great at making sure a real dinner is on the table. And i'm also pretty poor at using new recipes. I tend to cling to what I know. So this blog is almost a little depressing at times, but I will honestly try to keep it going as well as I know how. Besides, it is nice to have a blog here if I ever decide to actually feed my husband. We'll see. :)

Eyeballs and Crayon Cake Picture

It is almost embarrassing to have this blog. Now everyone knows how little I actually cook. Oh well. I told myself I would have this blog, so now I will keep it! I am trying to be determined.

I thought I would post 2 pictures of some of my more creative bakes. This first one is of my eyeballs I made for Halloween. The recipe is here. They are ridiculously delicious and rather time consuming. Fun though!!
This is a cake I helped my cousin Angela make for his birthday...2 (?) years ago. It was a lot of fun. A cake, some ice cream cones and lots of frosting :) Not really a recipe for this. Just lots of boredom and creativity.
If you like them, or have ideas or comments, please share below!! I love to read your comments!

Egg in Toast


Okay, so this isn't anything special. (Sorry. I haven't been in a baking mood lately. So keeping this blog up is actually real hard.) This is just a simple egg in toast I made the other day. Get bread, cut circle in it with cup or cookie cutter, butter both sides, put egg in middle, cook. So easy right?! I usually scramble my egg up a bit while it's in there, and add salt. My favorite part is actually the middle piece of bread. Not sure why. This is so easy! I love brainless recipes :)

Chocolate Chip Cookies


1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 to 3 cups flour (Depending how you like them)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Cream together butter and sugars until smooth. Beat in vanilla and eggs one at a time. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the sugar mixture. Finally, mix in the chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Admittedly, this isn't the best recipe in the world. It was most likely my fault though. I did like 3 1/2 cups flour. So they were just really thick. Haha! But really, it is great. I just haven't found that perfect recipe for this yet. If you try it and like it, let me know and drop a comment below!!
