Not gonna lie, I am very excited.

My best friend and I are leaving for Scotland on Saturday. We’re going to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, seeing one of my favorite bands (again), and we’re generally going to have a blast. That’s the extent of our plans. Continue reading

Chocolate Apple Pie

Chocolate Apple Pie2

I don’t really like having help when I’m baking. I’m more of a ‘if you want something done right, do it yourself’ kinda girl. However, one thing I really hate is peeling and chopping apples. Fortunately when I chose to bake this chocolate apple pie, one of my best friends helped me out. I didn’t even have to ask him! Which is probably one of the reasons why I like him so much.

Gingerbread Cookie Bars

Is everybody deep into the Christmas mode already? Probably, right? I will let you in on a little secret – I haven’t bought any gifts yet. I’m going shopping tomorrow, which is pretty much the last possible moment to do so. This year I’m even worse than last time!

Hanoi is crazy. It’s been 10 days since I moved, so I’m still very new and I guess it’s normal I feel this way, but seriously. Crazy. I rented out a motorbike 2 days ago, so I can finally ride around by myself, although I’m a bit afraid of doing so. Nobody out on the road here seems to care about any laws, which makes learning how to belong in the traffic even harder. But I taught a few more classes, and I went to another party yesterday. I guess I’m starting to belong. One of my biggest concerns is the lack of the oven of course (that party I went to yesterday? My friends have an amazing one, so I spent a better part of an hour falling in love with their oven). I still have some saved recipes though, so today I’d like to share a recipe for THE BEST chocolate-honey cookies to ever exist.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars (made with cake mix!)

I think it’s safe to assume that we all prefer to make our desserts from scratch. However sometimes we don’t have much time or we just want to try something new, which is how I discovered this recipe. It starts out with a simple cake mix, but it doesn’t finish there. I mean, there is peanut butter. And condensed milk. And chocolate, so much chocolate. Continue reading
