Someone Please Stop the World, I'd Like to Get Off!

**Before I start, I realize how dirty my post title may sound, but I promise you, that isn't how I intend it! Now get your mind out of the gutter! :D*

HOLY SHMOLY what a week this has been!!!! I just wanted to write  quick post to say, I will be MIA until the weekend. We are working on a VERY important project at work right now and it is literally consuming all my time (I actually DREAM about it!).

WELCOME to all the new wonderful people visiting my blog. It seems that my Philly Cheesesteak Post has been a popular one (which is AWESOMEEEEE) so to those of you just joining me here, I am SO HAPPY to meet you! Please feel free to drop me a line any time you want on my Facebook Page I would LOVE to hear from you!

Also, I have found my new favourite cookie dough that I cannot WAIT to share with you. It is SO SO yummy scrumbos!

What I'm probably MOST excited for right now, is that this Saturday, I am FINALLY participating in COLOR ME RADDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am for it. I have been lusting after this "race" for over a year and now I finally get to do it. Not only that, I get to do it with an AMAZING team of over 20 people!!!!! How cool is that? It all started with a FB post and now we are a mass invasion taking over the run in Downsview Park! If you're there and see team "DO OR DYE" come say hi, because that's my team! I'll be the one yelling and cheering and (hopefully) covered in the most amount of powder! Like this:

EEEEEEEE!

Also, if you haven't signed up and are interested, you can sign up the day of!!!!! Click HERE for all the deets!!

Finally, I want to show you a STUPIDLY cute picture of my pup. I was at my friend Annie's house on Sunday. We did an AMAZING 7KM run (this girl still has it!!) and then we made homemade pizza's (using the super dough I made here) Anywho, while the pizza was cooking, my friends daughter (I <3 her so much) was playing with Molly and I happened to catch this uber cute photo:

It makes me so happy!
Okay, I'm going to bed now before I fall asleep on my laptop (and hubs is telling me to stop working!), but MUCH LOVE and I promise I'll be back in action soon!!!!!

Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Bars

HELLO my dear followers! I'm sorry I have been slacking on the blog front for the last week. I was out of town for work and then when I came back I was catching up on the work I missed while being away from work FOR work...it was quite exhausting.

THEN I was away for the weekend for a friends birthday, where we all relived our 20somethings. It was a grand ol' time:

Beer & BBQ, what more could you need?

Also, this is my new fave summer drink:

Yum.

Now, this recipe that I want to share with you today is one that I've been oogling on Pinterest for QUITE some time. It has everything that I love: Oreos, Cookie & Chocolate Chips. Oh, and it just looks irresistible as well.

What's it like in real life? EVEN BETTER!

Enjoy my lovely friends, and I promise not to abandon you for so long ever again (...I hope)

Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Bars

From: i heart nap time

Ingredients:

2 cups brown sugar

2/3 cup salted butter (softened)

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

2 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

12 Oreo cookies

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Optional: 2 crushed Oreo cookies and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cream together the butter and sugar in a bowl with your mixer (or hand mixer). Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with the salt and the baking powder. SLOWLY add to the butter mixture. Once combined, add the rest of the flour.

When that is all combined, take your bowl out and fold in the Oreos and the chocolate chips. It should look a little something like this:

At this point, I was just going to eat the batter, but decided "Mmmm, better not"

Grease up your pan (I used a bar specific baking pan) and press the dough in with lightly floured hands.

Bake for 25-35 mins, depending on your oven. If you wish (and you probably should, just sayin) 15 mins into the baking time, take out and press in the "optional" 2 Oreos and white chocolate chips. Return to oven.

Around the 25 minute mark, use a toothpick to test if it is ready!

LOOK HOW THICK this thing is (that's what she said?):

I know, I'm a twelve year old. Shut up. ;)

Look at these: Don't they just make your mouth water? I promise you, they are as good as they look!

Enjoy!
