The holidays have come and gone, and 2013 is underway. I don't know about you, but I definitely indulged in many delicious things this holiday season. When it came time to ring in the New Year, I wanted to make sure we had something yummy to nibble on while we waited for midnight to roll around. These savory tartlets hit the spot and were pretty simple to make.
I know, I know... I JUST posted about cupcakes but guess what, I'm doing it again! It wouldn't be the holidays at my parent's house without some eggnog in the fridge (and being able to order my eggnog latte at Starbucks). All of this eggnog inspired me to try making some eggnog cupcakes before the annual crazy cookie baking marathon that happens in my kitchen every year right before Christmas. For this recipe I simply used store bought eggnog and added a little booze because we all know it just wouldn't be the holidays without a little liquor.
It's official, I'm half way done with pharmacy school!!! It's crazy how fast time has flown by. Over the past year and a half I have had the opportunity to learn from some pretty influential professors, and unfortunately as the end of the semester wrapped up, my fellow classmates and I had to say farewell to one of our professors as he moved on to continue his teaching career at another University. Being that he is a HUGE Star Wars fan (all of his lectures had to include a Star Wars picture) we threw him a Star Wars themed going away party. Of course I was tasked with making the cupcakes and had to make sure the were vegan since our professor is vegan.
The holidays are officially in full swing and that means I am spending way more time in my kitchen! This past weekend for Thanksgiving I was busy making homemade bolognese pasta sauce, tiramisu cupcakes, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin cheesecake to take to two Thanksgiving dinners. Before all of this craziness, I managed to find some time to make some sweet almond bread and it was AWESOME!!! The bread was moist and dense and was the perfect pairing with my morning coffee.
So I know I've been M.I.A for the pass couple of weeks, but I have been trying to find some free time to post something and I have realized my free time is non existent! Whoever said that the second year of pharmacy school is easier than the first was LYING! Well I guess it might also have something to do with how many extracurricular things I have going on outside of school too but who knows. Anyway, after almost 6 weeks I've finally found a little free time to sit down and post something.
Fall is officially here in the Pacific Northwest and although I really do miss our warm sunny days, the beautiful colors of fall make up for it. Since Halloween is just around the corner I decided to make some yummy cookies that were inspired by one of my favorite types of Halloween candy!
