Sweet and Salty Cookies

June 24th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Are you a fan of the Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel? If yes, then get ready to be excited because they just announced their Christmas in July movie schedule! I’m a total sucker for Christmas movies, so rest assured that I’ll be catching most of them next month. Who am I kidding? I’m sure I’ll watch them all even if I’ve seen them ten times. With Christmas on the brain, I thought I’d whip up some cookies. You know, because cookies are THE thing to bake at Christmas time. Yes, this is me trying to justify making cookies right now …

Best… Scones… Ever

June 20th, 2016Tina0 Comments

Here’s the fourth installment in my Best Ever series! What’s it all about? Click here to get all the deets. Today I’m sharing with you the Best… Scones… Ever. I’m specifically talking about the base of the scone mix. I’ve used many scone recipes and some of them were awesome enough to be included on my blog. Variety is the spice of life. 😉 However, I realized something when I made these strawberry scones. I keep going back to this base recipe for the scones which means I’ve got something good here. They are crumbly but moist and absolutely delicious. …

TGIF! Guys, I’m so glad that this week is over. This week I had a root canal. Surprisingly, it wasn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be. The bad part was that my dentist began the procedure last week but he couldn’t reach all of my roots so he had to sent me to an endodontist. The pain was way, way worse last week. Apparently I have curved roots which makes them difficult to get at but thankfully the endodontist was able to get at them and the root canal procedure was a success. I’m not done yet though. …

Stuff I’m Into: What’s In My Bag

Happy Monday! Tina’s Chic Corner got a little face lift yesterday and has a new background. Do you guys like it? I’m doing a little something different today and sharing with you what I typically have in my bag. A year or two ago I would have never thought to do this because I assumed that no one would care. I follow a number of bloggers and some of them (mostly fashion bloggers) have shared what’s in their bag. I love reading those posts because I think it’s a great way to get know the person behind the blog. I …

Blueberry Crumb Bars

June 10th, 2016Tina0 Comments

I’ve got a cheater’s way of making blueberry pie. Interested? I know that baking a pie can be an intimidating task, especially the crust part. I used to feel that way for a very long time. I avoided making pies because I thought it was an impossible task for me. Then one day I made a blueberry peach pie for my husband for his birthday. I wish I could tell you that it was a happy ending, but in fact, the pie turned out kind of nasty. In my defense, I picked the worst pie to try first because it’s extremely …
