8 Things To Bake This Weekend

1. Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate cookies are a classic. Everyone loves them are they are sure to be a hit no matter where you bring them. Or eat them all yourself you deserve it. Instead of chocolate chips try using really high quality chocolate and cutting it into chunks!

2. Caramel Brownies

I made these the other night because I love caramel in every dessert I can possibly put it in. The flavor is pretty self-explanatory, but if you're trying to have something extremely decadent try these.

3. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

This dessert is one of my favorites. I love any dessert that has fruit in, I think it adds a refreshing element to desserts that would otherwise be heavy or overwhelming. We all know about pineapple upside down cakes, but we do not make them nearly enough!

4. Apple Turnovers

If you are craving apple pie but don't want all the fuss that comes with it, apple turnovers are the perfect compromise. They are small and portable, easy to make and super tasty.

5. Bread Pudding

When I went to New Orleans over the summer I went to a restaurant that had quite possibly the best bread pudding I've ever had. Luckily I found an exact copy of the recipe, I have already made this multiple times and can attest to its deliciousness.

6. Red Velvet Cupcakes

Something a little more indulgent and absolutely Instagram worthy. Red velvet cupcakes are super good, especially with a cream cheese frosting. This is my favorite recipe.

7. Coconut Macarons

Not to be confused with macaroons, these little treats are so good. Feel free to explore different flavors. These can be pretty complicated to make, so if you're up for challenge these will be so worth it.

8. Crème Brûlée

The crème de la crème of baking, the ultimate dessert. Creamy custard under a blanket of caramelized sugar. Not only is it delicious, but you get to use a blow torch. These can also be hard to make, but even if you can't achieve the crispy top, the custard is still good as hell.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
