Baking Boredom

I've been loving all the time I have to do whatever I want this summer, and yes... sometimes I do get rather bored.  So as I was staring inside my fridge this morning, I decided I really needed to do something with the big bag of cherries I got in my Bountiful Basket (A produce basket you can buy, but never know what you're gonna get!).

Just like blueberries and coconut, cherries is one of those foods that I LOVE the flavor of but can't stand eating alone. So I looked up some recipes and decided on cherry muffins.  I found the recipe here: recipe.

I had a few problems mainly because I forgot we're living in someone else's apartment and they didn't have things that I normally have at hand.  So I used raw sugar, and coconut extract instead of almond extract. (They didn't even have vanilla!!)

But, alas they tasted pretty darn good and smelled even better! Mmmm.

***I made them a second time with the right ingredients and added chocolate chips and they were much yummier!

Music Love

So here are a few songs/videos that I'm currently obsessed with.  I'm sure you've seen them, but if not you're in for a little treat....

Coolest little girls ever- Lennon and Maisy! They have AMAZING voices and they have a lot of videos on youtube... so look up them up!! One of the comments under the video says they'll end up on Ellen.. and I don't doubt it.

Call me crazy, but I CANNOT get enough of the Call me Maybe song by Carly Rae Jepsen!! I dance around to it every day and it's still not old.  And this video of the Harvard baseball team is much better than the real music video.

And lastly, also absolutely love this Tangled song! I've almost got the entire thing memorized, and I LOVE Mandy Moore's voice.  She really needs to put out a new song.

Summer Project #1

Since Matt is a working man this summer, I've got lots of time to myself.  So I've decided to do a few projects to keep me busy.  Here is the first...

Kitchen Jars!

Boise has TONS of thrift stores. We went to 6 on Saturday and I've passed by at least 2 more that I'll need to check out sometime.  Anyways.. I found these perfect jars at one of them, washed them out super clean, and used my cricut to label them.  They turned out much to my liking:

More summer projects on their way!
