disclaimer: this is not a dessert heavy post.
this weekend was indeed a great one. bp and I traveled back to our homeland of NJ and visited with some our bffs. pasta, mango salsa, jalepeno poppers and lots wine and vodka were consumed. on saturday, nic and I attended our friend Jeana's bridal shower. the shower was beautiful and Jeana looked gorgeous as usual. in typical Kristen nature, my camera died after my first picture, so i stole some pics from our friend, Jenny (who is starting a blog. HOORAY! can't wait to share hers!). she also made these amazing cookies. I had enough to be embarrased to actually share the number. alright, it was six. maybe seven.

on sunday, bp and I stopped off at my parents, where I raided Big Al's garden for an abnormally large zucchini because i have this and these on my radar:

on the random thoughts front....I'm in a weird baking slump. I've been itching to try some new recipes (a blue velvet cake, cake batter pancakes and red velvet biscotti are at the top of my list), but there is little time to be had to devote to getting in the kitchen. this also includes cooking; thank God I have a husband who is more than happy to eat yogurt and cereal for dinner a few times a week. but we bought a new pad and we're moving in three weeks. hence, time is of the essence and my kitchen is slowly becoming a ghost town. so just a heads, the posts in the coming weeks will most likely to be devoted to all the recipes that i am planning on baking, but not actually getting to it. and maybe documenting a breakdown or two because packing gives me anxiety. sorry party peeps.
BUT!
I am carving out some time from packing and cleaning to make some treats with the mutant zucchini. it has to be done.
in the meantime, i'll leave you with these, considering i can't get them off my mind. i'm breaking in the new kitchen with these babies.
