One Bowl+Five Ingredients=Irresistable Cookies!

Well finals are over!

Whew!

I don't think I have been this tired since my oldest was a newborn!

As much as I wanted to just collapse into a heap and not move for days, having kids means that's not really an option. So, I went to the next best thing. Cookies.

Now, I wanted simple cookies. I can never bring myself to buy those break apart cookies that you can get at the grocery store because it just seems so wrong. So I did the next best thing, I went to my one bowl recipe.

I absolutely LOVE one bowl recipes. They are perfect for a tired mom who doesn't want to add any more dishes than necessary to the sink, or take a bunch of time measuring and sifting. Even better than that, this recipe only has five ingredients. Ladies and Gentlemen, it does not get any better than that!

Now, I didn't come up with this recipe, though I wish I could take credit for it. It is amazing.

Seriously.

I'm talking amazing to the point where I make them, try to eat only one, and they're gone in two days. When I say two days, I am trying to make myself think in a positive way where all of the cookies don't end up being eaten in the first two hours.

And, they're gluten free!

The recipe calls for almond butter but I make mine using peanut butter instead, both options are wonderful.


I should warn you, they are very crumbly. Be prepared to eat them over the sink, one, after another, after another, after another. I usually refrigerate mine after they're cool, it helps them not be quite as crumbly and they seem so much better cold!


Yes, that is one serving in my world today. Hey, finals just ended its relaxation time right?? 😀

Virtual Reality

Virtual reality was the topic of the week this week. I had never worked with this before and I find it fascinating! When I thought about virtual reality I always associated it with gaming. I had seen those commercials on TV with people staring into a small box holding their phone, freaking out about how "cool" or "awesome" something was. To be honest, it is a bit ridiculous watching someone with those, since you cannot see what they are seeing. When our professor brought some to class and I took a look I understood why people thought it was so cool. Looking through those and being able to turn one way and another, with the image changing, is pretty cool! Then, today in class, a fellow student showed us what they use virtual reality for. They have a camera at her work which makes online 3D models of houses which are being sold so you can take a virtual tour. I had never stopped to think about how those online 3D models are made. Listening to her explain the wor...

Final Class

Well, today was the final day of my Emerging Media class. It has been one of my best classes in my long, long college career so I am a bit bummed that it is over. It is exciting to be done with the semester though (almost)! Only one semester left and then done!! This class helped me learn a lot about social media. I had been boycotting hashtags heavily since I first saw them. I still don't use them on a daily basis, however, I now see that there is a point to them. I think I will forever be irritated by people who use 20 on one post on Facebook, but when used for their intended purpose I think they are very helpful. I'm still not a big fan of Twitter, however, Instagram has grown on me. I think I will continue to use that. I like the shorter format with more graphics than words. This class also helped me realize that, though I do love to bake, it will stay a hobby. I have had people suggest turning it into a business and I have considered that from time to time. Being in ...
