Life Lately

This gave me a good laugh.

P.S. I am thinking about changing my blog name again...sorry...not really...stay tuned. 

Refreshing Watermelon Spritzer

Have you seen some of the gorgeous cocktail and drink pictures on Pinterest? Oh my gosh talk about making me drool all over my keyboard! I never realized that something with such an ugly name as 'beverage' can be so beautiful! Beverage, BEV-ER-AGE, what a weird word! You know those words that just make you uncomfortable, well I have got a few. Want to hear them? Great, and I would love to hear some of the words that make you shiver! Here are some of mine!

Heart Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my second time making this recipe and I often do not repeat recipes unless I absolutely love them! I think that speaks volumes to this recipe because not only are they yummy, but they are heart healthy! Heart healthy cookies that don't taste like cardboard. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, it is thanks to Erin Mckenna of Babycakes NYC. These babies are heart healthy because they are made with coconut oil (lauric acid), chocolate chips (antioxidants if you use dark chocolate), and flax seed meal (Omega 3s).

Peanut Butter Cherry Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Bars

Peanut butter is one of my favorite things to eat. You too? If not, I don't think we can be friends (is that the right term for me writing crazy stories and telling them to people I have never met) anymore, unless of course you are allergic then I totally get it. I would give up peanut butter in exchange for not having anaphylaxis. I am allergic to dust mites and I am all for avoiding them, but I am totally lazy and do not clean nearly enough.

Bakelette Attempts Fashion

If you are anything like me, you probably read all sorts of blogs, fashion, travel and food just to name a few. While I love blogging about baking, I sometimes want to throw in a little fashion to spice it up! On Easter I did just that! 

We are all friends here right? So, there is to be no judging of my terrible tri-pod plus timer photos...mmkay? Well, maybe judge a little because I would like some feedback! :)

 It took me months to get somewhat decent food photos, so don't expect any amazing fashion photos for like another 10 years.

This is what I wore for Easter minus the blazer I threw on for the evening! 

 Here goes!
