I went for a run and narrowly avoided getting downpoured on, which I consider a success. Over the weekend I did a little thrift store browsing for some dishes, photography props, and various things I just can’t live without.

Unfortunately my kitchen storage space is already maxed out. And I do mean, maxed out.

Every single drawer or cupboard has something in it. Nothing like a 100 square foot kitchen.

So anything I buy, I really have to love-love-love or else I skip it. As much as I hate feeling like I am letting potential great finds that I see when out and about slip away, I have to remind myself of the cute things I’ve recently bought that I can use.

Better put those cute plates to use with some cute cookies on them.

Or make new cute cookies which sounds like fun, too. Over the weekend I also tackled a baking project that I wanted to check off my list. A big bowl of love: Melted peanut butter, butter, my new favorite baking chocolate, and vanilla extract.

Then I added a little bit of this, some sugar and two other kinds of chocolate, a little bit of that, and came up with a winner. I just got done taking pictures of the finished dessert and it’s even better as a finished product than chocolate peanut butter soup was on its own.

Taste-testing as I go and sampling the goods was also on my weekend list. Next up will be to sample one of these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Marshmallow Stuffed Rice Krispie Bars (No Bake)
