So i baked cookies from scratch tonight for the boyfriend. Everything was going great until I realized I didn't have enough butter. I only had one stick. So I decided to make a half a batch of cookies. Everything was going great again until I put that first batch in the oven.... Ths house smelled awesome! but the cookies grew bigger then they were supposed to be... I burned one batch, made on batch too thin and then the last batch was alright. I tested one out and same with my roommates. We all decided that they rocked! But they weren't cookies.... :( They were like mini cakes! I give up on baking! I'm blaming it on the fact that I didn't have a mom to teach me to back properly!

Standalone Cornbread

You can tell it's Fall when corn bread starts popping up all over the place. Luckily, Whole Foods Market embraces this comfort food year round. Their iteration usually includes blueberries in their cornbread batter, which is so delicious. This past weekend, though, they switched it up making fresh cranberry cornbread instead. The reason I love their recipe is because the consistency is closer to a moist cake than most of the dryer cornbread out there. It smells delicious and you can pick how big of a chunk you want to take home with you. It is truly hard to stop eating it and the cranberries this time added a tart burst. This also has me looking forward to my cornbread contribution to this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. It seems to be a big hit every year and a side item my pop doesn’t think cramps his style.
