A wonderful weekend of baking

We went to a BBQ over the weekend, and of course I opted to make dessert (my fav!). So I whipped up a batch of one of my old favorites... Everything bars!!, and thought I'd share the recipe...

Everything Bars

3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk

3\4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

3\4 cup butterscotch chips

1 1/2 cups flaked coconut

1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press crumbs into bottom of 9x13-inch baking pan.

Pour sweetened condensed milk over crumb mixture and spread to cover (be careful not to break up the crust). Layer evenly with chocolate chips butterscotch chips and nuts. Cover with coconut. Press down lightly with a fork.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Cool until firm. Cut into desired sized bars.


I also made some basic boxed brownies, so needless to say i suffered from some stomach aches this weekend. Ohh the hard life of being a taste-tester...

Newlyweds: nearly 8 weeks in

So this friday it will be 8 weeks since our wedding. I am quite convinced that I am the only person who got married in June and still hasn't received their pro pics back. I guess I shouldn't complain because I've seen a few teasers online... and my photographers are awesome... I'm just a huuuge picture person, so I am super antsy and excited to see the rest. I guess the longer it takes the more convinced i am that some freak thing happened and they lost the rest of our pics and are afraid to tell us, but yeah, i'm sure touching up just takes a while.

I am attempting to pick this blog back up in hopes of recording bits of my life as a newlywed, as well as my attempts at creativity... between cooking, home decorating, designing and photographing...
