Kitchen Sink Soup

January 25, 2020

This post is brought to you by a sniffling, coughing, stressed-out gal who is in desperate need for warmer weather and a nice long break from all of the current high school craziness…

I recently caught a cold, and I’ve been living off of green tea and a lot of coffee to keep me going throughout this past week. I probably shouldn’t be drinking the amount of coffee that I do, but I know I wouldn’t be able to stay awake during class if I didn’t. I’ve been getting less sleep than I did last year, because I now have band rehearsal in the mornings, and I’m up ’til late finishing schoolwork (that’s probably why I got sick in the first place!)

The Easiest Lobster Rolls

January 11, 2020

After eating a lobster roll at Freshie’s in Salt Lake City (see my latest post here), I’d been craving another one ever since we got back home! I knew I had to make my own, because I was literally DYING for another. Lobster rolls are easily one of my favorite sandwiches: a fresh lobster salad, with a little bit of celery crunch and lemon tang, all bundled up in a warm, golden-brown roll.

Easy Snowball Cookies

Snowball cookies - My Southern Sweet Tooth

Give me alllllll the holiday cookiesssss! Clearly, I’m still in the holiday spirit in terms of baking (have you made my gingerbread muffins yet?)

I’m so excited to be sharing this snowball cookie recipe with y’all today. Lately, I’ve been doing a ton of baking, but this cookie is probably one of my favorites so far. It’s easily the simplest dough I’ve ever had to make, only requires a few ingredients, and is nonetheless delicious. If you’re ever feeling lazy, yet still crave the satisfaction of a sweet, warm cookie, these sugar cookies are the ones for you!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake

July 22, 2019

I’ve always been kind of afraid to work with ice cream, if I’m being honest. In my experience, either melts too fast and makes a mess all over my kitchen, or I end up accidentally eating it all. However, this cookie dough ice cream cake has made me rethink all of my past decisions! It’s got everything you could ever want in a dessert: a layer of cool, velvety ice cream, sandwiched between two glorious layers of soft, chewy cake. Oh yeah, it’s also smothered in a thick layer of chocolate ganache, and topped with chocolate chips and actual choc chip cookies.

Look me in the eye and tell me you’re not drooling already!!!

This ice cream cake is the ultimate dessert for the summer. If you’re like me, you’re probably trying to make the most out of the last few weeks of summer. And you should definitely find time to make this cake and treat yourself to a cold, decadent bite of pure chocolate chip cookie heaven.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

July 15, 2019

Oh heyyyy banana bread! It’s been a while… I’ve missed u :)

I’m going to have to say, this summer has been pretty rough in terms of my health and well-being. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve been having so much fun traveling (hereee), hanging out with friends, and relaxing by the poolside. However, I have literally destroyed my diet. I’ve been eating tons of ice cream, burgers, and chocolate… last month, the only things I ate one day were french fries, a couple cubes of watermelon, and a giant ice cream sundae! My body did not like that; I felt sick and bloated from the ice cream, and I could barely function because I had literally no energy.

So, this past week, I’ve made it a goal to eat healthier and work out a little more in preparation for my upcoming #summermarchingbandgrind. I’ve been following a couple workout videos on YouTube, going on walks outside (yes, even in the crazy 100 degree Texas weather), and cutting out a lot of sugar from my diet. Obviously, I still treat myself, but I’m making sure not to skip meals and putting only wholesome foods into my body!

I ended up purchasing a ton of bananas to use for acai bowls and smoothies. However, of course there was no way I was going to eat so many bananas myself, so the first thing that came to mind was to whip up a loaf of banana bread! Overripe bananas are perfect for banana bread. This is a recipe I’ve had saved in my notes app for the longest time! I was so so excited – I hadn’t made banana bread in ages.

The Creamiest, Cheesiest Queso

February 4, 2019

Thank goodness I’ve got these delicious pictures of the queso I made this weekend to get me through this Monday. However, it does remind of the painful stomachache I experienced last night and this morning because of all the queso I ate yesterday. Yikes, that was pretty bad… but this queso is just SO. DANG. GOOD!!

How do you guys feel about all the Superbowl festivities and, in general, everything that happened on Sunday? I’ve never been one to enjoy sitting through an entire football game, regardless of the hype and all of my friends’ excitement. I was at orchestra rehearsal anyways, so I wasn’t able to catch the first half or the halftime performance, but everyone’s been saying how boring the game was, how lame the commercials were, and how garbage Maroon 5’s performance was. What did you think? Did any of y’all enjoy this year’s game?

I personally enjoyed Superbowl Sunday with a bowl of queso, Gilmore Girls, and snuggles with my dog, so I am definitely not complaining. I’m sure most of you can relate to the fact that I was most certainly 100% there for all of the food, and 0% there for the game! It’s always an excuse for me to make a bunch of junk food and not get disapproved for eating so unhealthy (although I could honestly care less, heh)

The Best Classic Cheesecake

January 21, 2019

It’s been a while since I’ve had cheesecake, and I’ve definitely made up for lost time this past month. Ever since I got back from California, I’ve been making cheesecake basically non-stop. I’m not kidding! The first one I made was in Santa Barbara (I made it for Christmas dinner), and I’ve made three more after that. That’s 4 cheesecakes in the span of three weeks!

I’ve come a long way, and I’m so excited to be sharing the final product of all of the dessert I’ve been making this January.

Peanut Butter Donuts

January 5, 2019

Happy 2019!!! I hope you have had a great start to the new year so far. Like every year, I made a list of my intentions/goals for this year, and I’m really really trying to accomplish them. I’ve made some progress already!!

I’m starting the new year strong with a big batch of these cute peanut butter donuts. You’re going to love them!

These donuts are soft, sweet, and so easy to make! I’m always looking for a fun way to whip up a quick recipe when I’m craving something sweet – these yield 28 mini donuts in under 30 minutes to make. And since I always have peanut butter in my fridge, I know I’m going to make these a loooot more!

Brownie-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

December 23, 2018

Hey guys! Happy 2 days ’till Christmas! It’s so crazy how fast this holiday season has gone by.

This year, I haven’t been in much of the holiday spirit at all, mostly because of this year’s crazy exam season (I’m a sophomore in high school). Even though we’ve decorated our house and put up our inflatable snowman outside, the stressing about studying for finals and trying to keep my grades up has honestly made me forget how soon Christmas is (and how soon it will be over!)
