The Weekender: Smart Cookie in the News, a Review, & a Birthday

This week, I brought you not one, not two, but three decadent dessert recipes to give your sweet tooth the love it deserves. However, just in case you went into a sugar coma, I also offered some well-balanced and, of course, delicious meals. Did you miss a bite or two? I’ve got you covered.

Let’s Review, Shall We?

  1. Smart Cookie College Cuisine: BLTP Wraps
    Easy, inexpensive wraps stuffed with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and potato. Perfect for the college student to make.
  2. Circus Dream Ice Cream
    Cotton candy ice cream studded with circus animal cookies.
  3. Hearty Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers
    My absolute favorite veggie burgers ever.
  4. Almond Butter Toffee Cups
    The classier sibling to the peanut butter cup.
  5. Chocolate Moose Cookies
    Almost too cute to eat!

There’s also a helpful how-to video to go with my Circus Dream Ice Cream. Some people are scared off by custard-based ice creams, but as you’ll see in my video, they’re easy as pie! Head over to my Youtube Channel to check it out, plus dozens of more fun and delicious videos. And, if you subscribe, you’ll get to watch next week’s video before anyone else. Talk about special treatment!

A new video is cause enough for celebration, but we’ve got even more exciting happenings to get hyped over this week. For starters, I made an appearance in one of CNY’s local newspapers, the Observer Dispatch. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can read it right here.

Secondly, you might recall celebrating the blog’s birthday last week, but guess who’s birthday is coming up next? Mine! That’s right, your one and only Smart Cookie is turning 19 on Wednesday, and I’m doing some birthday-related baking in preparation. I’m totally acting my age, right?

I’ll be sure to tell you all about the festivities and save you a slice of cake. Or, at the very least, I’ll take a picture of one!

Finally, I am this close to reaching 500 likes on Facebook, and I’m so pumped! Help me get there; head over to the Smart Cookie Facebook page right now and hit “like” so you never miss a bite of what’s going on in the kitchen. Plus, you’ll even get to see some behind-the-scenes happenings. FB is where it’s at!

Also keep up with me on Twitter & Pinterest.

Now, I’m not about to head out of here without leaving you with a little appetizer. Can you guess what these are?

See you on Monday!
