i made it through finals! yay! the day after finishing my last final exam, mike and i escaped to the washington coast for a mini vacation. we had a wonderful time exploring the coast and the temperate rain forests on the olympic peninsula!
it snowed like crazy last week here in seattle. and ok, i know that many of you (i’m talking to you, sister), live in much colder climates and deal with way more snow than we do in seattle. but it was still quite an experience for this california native!
ok, i know the holidays have come and gone, but i really want to post this delicious recipe for wheat rolls. they’re really amazing – so amazing that we made them for both thanksgiving and christmas this year (yes, they’re that good!).
since we’ve been back in california, i’ve made dozens and dozens of delicious cookies! but i didn’t get it together to take pics of all of them. so i’m sharing just three cookie recipes (even though lots of the pics were taken with the iPhone, and thus a little blurry): chocolate raspberry tarts, nutella cookies, and soft ginger cookies.
as promised (in my pumpkin pie post), here’s the brand new recipe we used for pecan pie this thanksgiving!
