Kayle's favorite flavor combo=chocolate and peanut butter.
Kayle's favorite sweet treat=cookies
Only thing Kayle might like more than cookies=cookie dough
This recipe=ALL OF THOSE THINGS COMBINED!!

I mean...you really can't go wrong. Plus they're perty.

Peanut butter thumbprint cookies are a classic, they always make me think of Christmas-time. But...these thumbprint cookies are like A BJILLION times better! First of all...the peanut butter flavor is just super amped up and perfect. And it's a pretty, sturdy cookie. Then I mean, ya know...you plop some chocolate pb dough on top. Maybe drizzle some melted chocolate. Yeah.

I will note that the dough is super soft at room temperature-so if you want a sturdier dough, refrigerate these bad boys. Either way, they're tasty deliciousness personified.

Something Saturdays (3/22/14)

First of all, I want to give you all a heads up: Next week I'll be posting on Tuesday and Thursday (as opposed to my usual M-W-F schedule) as a part of celebrating in #chocPBday (uh yeah, obviously it's gonna be good!)

Secondly: Michael is in Ohio (again). Today he's going on a tour of the facilities for where he would be working, with his would be supervisor. If all goes well with this (and if they get every part of his background check in time) then on Monday he will go in for another interview and HOPEFULLY get hired. And then hopefully he can go and get our townhouse. And then we'll finally know what's happening! In the meantime I'm gonna be trying to do as much and see as many people as I can! Like, tomorrow I'm finally going to meet up with Ashley from Baker by Nature! We're gonna go to Chelsea Market and it's going to be so much fun-eeee!

Oh and--have you seen this video of this guy singing Katy Perry's Dark Horse in 20 different styles (including Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, John Mayer, Metallica, Nirvana....etc.)???! IT IS CRAZY COOL!

#MrsTsPierogies for Girl's Night! #MC

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Millennial Central for Mrs. T’s Pierogies. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

I'm not the kind of person who goes out. I'm a stay in kind of gal, and one of my FAVORITE things is to have a big slumber party!! I do NOT have them enough (and I'm really pushing for that to be my bachelorette party main premise :P). They're always the best: you just need your girls, some great movies (preferably of the chick flick variety or--if you were me and my bestie in high school--old movies from the 40's and 50's), and good FOOD!

You may recall a previous blog post where I talked about one of my favorite quick meal/appetizer/snack/I'm hungry/ solutions: Mrs. T's Pierogies! They are the PERFECT addition to any get-together (whether you're the kind of person who is going to watch the game, or have a fancy dinner party, or enjoy a big slumber party, or just a Tuesday!) I always have at least 1 box in my freezer, guys. For emergencies.

And no matter your group, Mrs. T's is sure to have something for everyone! I mean...we're talking delicious whipped potatoes inside a perfect pasta shell. They have 11 varieties (including whole grain and mini sizes) with different additions-such as different cheeses, onions, etc. You can prepare them in SO many different ways, and the serving possibilities are endless-you can serve them as is, or with a sauce, or as a part of a recipe! My current favorite is the 4 cheese blend Pierogies with a dipping sauce of melted butter mixed with a little garlic powder and some scallions. Mmmmm....

So, my girls came over, we pajama'd up, I brought out 3 of my fave slumber party movies (27 Dresses, 13 Going on 30, and 10 Things I Hate About You), and brought out the food! We had a big assortment of Mrs. T's Pierogies, some popcorn, some cookies, some drinks (water for me, and whatever adult beverages my ladies brought for themselves :P) and settled in to laugh, girl talk, and half watch/half mock/half ignore our movies. All while chomping on food and pigging out. It was a GOOD. NIGHT!

If you want to have your own amazing night, I definitely recommend some Mrs. T's Pierogies. They could NOT be simpler to prepare, and they're always a hit! And check out Mrs. T's Facebook and Twitter pages too, let them know how YOU'RE eating your pierogies!
