teacups and cinnamon

You guys!!!!!!!! I have SUCH exciting news!!!!!! After years and years of searching, I have finally found the perfect brownie recipe! Yes. I said it. Perfect. They have the perfect texture (not too cakey, not too fudgy) and the perfect taste (chocolately and rich). 

I found the recipe somewhere on allrecipes.com (can't remember the exact link because it was a while ago) but I did change up the recipe quite a bit. I added melted bittersweet chocolate to the recipe. I just feel like it gives the brownies more of a chocolate flavor and a nicer texture. I also added a ganache topping. It makes the brownies very fancy and rich. I have made the brownies without the ganache and they were still very delicious. So if you don't like ganache (if such a person exists...) you can just skip it entirely or use store bought white or chocolate frosting.

Every year my friends and I throw a small Christmas party. This year my friend Kayla (the girl in the bottom row, left) threw it at her new Seattle town house :) Fancy, I know. At these annual Christmas parties we just eat good food, listen to Christmas music and watch Christmas movies. But mostly, we just talk and catch up. Since we only get to see each other on school breaks!

Anyway, there's not much else to say. I tried taking pictures but that didn't really work out *sigh*. Everyone begs me to bring my camera and then when I do no one wants to take pictures. I did get a few shots though! 

Happy Christmas!

Hi guys! Long time no talk! Seriously. :( I have no excuses for my long absense (except for the fact that i'm in school or doing school stuff 24/7!) Anywho, I'm finally on winter break so I'll be able to give this sad blog some attention :)

I have a few recipes coming (so stay tuned). But the first one is Potato Leek Soup. I've been making this soup for a year now, and it's one of my favorites! It's very easy to make, requires only a few ingredients, is very quick and best of all, it's HEALTHY! Oh and it's pretty good too. I found the recipe here. Make sure to click that link and see the picture they have (which is chunky, i'll explain this if you keep reading).
