I did not want to get out of bed this morning. It’s been cloudy, raining, dreary, drizzling, or overcast for a few days and rainy weather, alarm clocks, and Mondays don’t go together.
I went for a run and narrowly avoided getting downpoured on, which I consider a success.
Over the weekend I did a little thrift store browsing for some dishes, photography props, and various things I just can’t live without.
Unfortunately my kitchen storage space is already maxed out.
And I do mean, maxed out.
Every single drawer or cupboard has something in it.
Nothing like a 100 square foot kitchen.
So anything I buy, I really have to love-love-love or else I skip it.
As much as I hate feeling like I am letting potential great finds that I see when out and about slip away,
I have to remind myself of the cute things I’ve recently bought that I can use.
Better put those cute plates to use with some cute cookies on them.
Or make new cute cookies which sounds like fun, too.
Over the weekend I also tackled a baking project that I wanted to check off my list.
A big bowl of love: Melted peanut butter, butter, my new favorite baking chocolate, and vanilla extract.
Then I added a little bit of this, some sugar and two other kinds of chocolate, a little bit of that, and came up with a winner.
I just got done taking pictures of the finished dessert and it’s even better as a finished product than chocolate peanut butter soup was on its own.
Taste-testing as I go and sampling the goods was also on my weekend list.
Next up will be to sample one of these

What did you do this weekend or check off your list?
What was the best thing you’ve taste-tested lately? Any cute housewares or dishes finds recently?
Love the thrift store stuff. I’m an addict and need to learn to STOP! I am bursting out of cabinet space too. LOL!
I cant even go in them (and we have GREAT ones) unless I can afford it. Meaning, afford to store it someplace :)
The weather has been so gloomy lately I haven’t wanted to do much of anything. But I definitely have some ideas as to things I want to experiment with in the kitchen – like your pb&j thumbprint cookies!
I love your new plates! You always have great finds. I reorganized the cabinet under my bathroom sink and felt incredibly productive!
And I hope your trip was fabulous!
hey, i think you might need to change your blog name! when i first start reading it really was veggies and yoga, it’s now almost only baking projects with often lots of dairy. what happened? i really liked the raw food emphasis and yoga poses. i still make some of your ‘older’ recipes and enjoy them.
Three years ago I had a different focus and I have discussed on this on my FAQ page.

Thanks for reading and sticking around!
Hi. I’ve made these bfreoe following the exact recipe and had good results. However, I’m wondering what improvements I could make. Looking through some of the comments, do you recommend now using only bread flour or a mix of bread and all-purpose? Also, do you recommend refrigerating the dough bfreoe baking?One final question–do you think I could half the entire recipe and it would turn out ok?
whatever you have on hand
yes chill it
yes you can halve it
Hey Averie. It’s been gloomy and rainy up here as well. I am happy that the sun will be shining for the next 7 days :)
Your cookie pies look divine! Love all the colors.
Supposedly it’s going to be high 70s later this week by Thursday. We shall see….
I successfully avoided the thunderstorms this weekend! That literally was what I wanted to do – get over a cold and avoid the weather. I stayed in like a hermit and loved every second of it, so relaxing!
I live in a nyc apt, your cabinets look GIGANTIC!!
Haha your kitchen looks like mine! It’s so hard to find space, especially when I’m addicted to buying new dishes any time I’m out! Ooo and your cookies look deeeelicious, perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up! :)
thanks sweetie..your food is always…droolworthy! Been thinking about you and hoping things are coming along for ya on all fronts :)
I got a lot of things crossed off my post-vaca to do list this weekend, but I still have some serious kitchen organizing to do. I was able to fit my new kitchen aid mixer into a cabinet, but I have no idea where all the attachments I now want to purchase will go.
I just discovered the HUGE POUND TJ’s chocolate bars after a patient recommended them. Do you just melt them like regular Baker’s chocolate? I love the dark chocolate one…yummy!
yes and it melts so smoothly…like wayyyyy smoother than Baker’s brand choc. It’s dreamy. You’re gonna love it!
I want to take a swim in that bowl of chocolate!!
