What did YOU do last night?

I have been doing a lot of cooking/baking lately. And last night was no exception. I would like to say that my cooking lately has been because I am trying to save money and eat out less often, I have been wanting to cook for my husband because he likes my cooking, or my inner housewife has been emerging. All of these are partially true, but the real reason for my cooking obsession has been because of the internet. By the way... How did we ever live without the internet??



Anyways, let me introduce you to my friend, the Pioneer Woman. I am slightly obsessed with her. Seriously, I love her, I want to go live with her. Don't tell anyone, okay? Please check out her website, she is an amazing writer and an amazing cook. I have tried many of her recipes and I have loved all of them. http://www.thepioneerwoman.com/



One of the concoctions I made last night was hers. I made her corn avocado salsa. And let me tell you it was nothing short of amazing. Delicious and fresh tasting, I highly recommend it. Here is a horrible picture of it. The flash on my camera is broken, please some help me!!







Then I ventured over to Pioneer Woman's other website http://www.tastykitchen.com/ and found this recipe for peanut butter cupcakes. It was a very easy recipe that sounded decadent. The cupcakes have peanut butter in them and the frosting does also- oh my!! I brought some to Matty's day care, some to work and ate one for breakfast this morning. I would recommend not making these unless you have some self control (unlike me), because they are yummy!!

These cupcakes remind me of something Bakerella would make. Check out http://www.bakerella.com/

She is an amazing baker and takes amazing pictures. I haven't made much of her stuff because I am incredibly intimidated by her recipes, but maybe someday I will work up enough courage.

The internet can be used for many, many bad things. Lately I have come across many ways that the internet is being used for good and it makes me all warm inside!!

By the way, these websites I just told you about are in the category of "bad things on the internet". Why you ask? Because they are making my bottom and thighs bigger! Ahhh!!!
