Yummy in my Tummy

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 'Tis the season for Friends-giving, Thanksgiving, Sweater Parties, and Christmas! We are finally getting to the part of the year where just about everything weekend from now until the end of the year is filled with some sort of activity. Last weekend we had a Friends-giving, and this weekend we had a birthday, a friendly get together, and a REAL Thanksgiving. Fortunately I only had to bring dessert, and figured I'd share a super easy dessert item that I've made 3 times in the past 3 weeks.

Normally at Thanksgiving at my Parent's house I am in charge of the dessert items. I can cook just about anything, but desserts and baking are NOT my specialty, so it's a good time to practice. These don't have a "real" name, so I call them Oreo Funfetti Cake Bars, and I found the recipe on Pinterest. Robert and I LOVE Oreos (more like addicted...) and this was right up my alley of ease.

What you'll need:

-2 packages of Double Stuffed Oreos (I've made them with regular Oreos, and Double Stuffed is the way to go!) 
-1 Box Funfetti Cake Mix (This is really cheap, so I got mine at Dollar General for $1)
-1 Egg
-1/4 Cup Milk
-1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil 



Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9x13 (I think) baking pan with some cooking spray. You can use a smaller pan if you want too. Layer Oreos side by side on the bottom of the pan (this will be your "crust").
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the package of cake mix, egg, milk, and oil together until a thick dough forms.
4. Spread the dough batter over the bottom Oreo layer (this will be really thick). This was the hardest step, as the Oreos weren't glued down and kept moving when the sticky dough was being spread. I used a mixture of my hands and a spoon to spread it evenly. It doesn't have to look pretty-so don't worry if this looks messed up. 
5. Once the batter is smoothed down over the bottom layer of Oreos, sprinkle about 8-10 crushed Oreos over the top. I kind of press them into the batter so they don't stick out too much. 
6. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. I stuck the pan in the fridge for an hour or so (depending how much time you have), and then cut the cake bars into little squares for easy access. 
7. Enjoy! 

These have been a hit so far at every event they've been brought too, and they are super easy to make! You can find the recipe on my Pinterest Board or the original website that I found this on (complete with pictures!). The original site made these with the Halloween Oreos, which are just as yummy, and I bet you could customize the different type of Oreos/Cake to use for each occasion. Oh the possibilities. 

My next dessert challenge will be completed this Thursday, and it's called Sex in a Pan (I didn't make that up), and here's a sneak peak of the picture of what it's supposed to look like: 


'Til Thursday then!

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...

Fiesta! Fiesta! Fiesta!

Viva Fiesta! Viva San Antonio! Viva la Alamo! This past weekend we spent a (short) day squeezing in all of our normal Fiesta activities since Robert and I thought last minute that it would just be too weird if we had missed out on our annual Fiesta trip that we've gone on the past 5 years. So we road tripped it out on Friday afternoon (BIG mistake) and finally made the 4 hour journey in about 6 hours-thank you Dallas traffic and thank you 18-wheeler for hanging off the bridge in Hillsboro; I just love being stuck in your traffic for an hour and a half while we watched a thunderstorm rapidly approach going 0mph on the highway. Goodness gracious. But we made it! And Jessica was there, amongst her peeps for the first time ;)  Saturday started out pretty slow. I had all of these expectations for Jessica to see and we get to the Market Square and it's pretty empty. THEN we tried to hit up our annual photo booth spot and they were closed. So we went on a walk and ended up down b...
