TV Shows!

It is probably no secret that we are TV people. Mainly because I LOVE TV! Ryan just sits and watches with me :) I watch entirely too much, really, it's probably not good to tell you all the shows I watch, but here goes.

I'll start with what I watched over the summer and am still watching:
Royal Pains
Burn Notice
So You Think You Can Dance
Guiliana and Bill
Tia and Tamera
Jerseylicious
Real Housewives of NYC and New Jersey, Beverly Hills just started too!
The Bachelor/ette
Bachelor Pad
Pretty Little Liars
HGTV Design Star
House Hunters
Auction Kings
Keeping up with the Kardashians (and all the other shows they have)

Now for the one's I'm excited to start again:
GREYS ANATOMY!!!
Desperate Housewives
Gossip Girl
The Ellen Show

Im gonna stop now...I'm sure there are more but I've embarrassed myself entirely too much already...I won't even get started in to the Netflix series I watch!

Fears

EEEK! I HATE anything crawly. Spiders, ladybugs, worms, roaches, snakes, ants, etc. If it flies around, I hate it too. Flies, mosquitoes, bees, butterflies...ya. I'm getting itchy just writing them down! It is not funny to tease me about these things, I WILL hit you and yell at you. Ryan and I have already discussed that if our future children decide to tease me and bring these things to me, they will get spanked! This is no joking matter.

Speaking of future children, I fear ours won't be as cute as our nieces and nephews. Both Ryan's and my siblings have really good looking children and I HOPE hope HOPE that is a sign ours will be as cute. (yes, I know that I will be biased and love my kids bc they are mine and think they are the cutest thing in the world, but still...)

A Picture of My Best Friend(s)

 I've got a few friends that are the BEST, but I've got 2 "best friends". Ryan is my #1, he will be with me forever and I share every little thing with him. Shannon has been my go-to gal since 1st grade. We will be friends til the end, no matter how far we live from each other. Love my friends!

A Place I've Traveled

My FAVORITE place to travel is Lake Tahoe. My family went there every Thanksgiving since I was born and I love it! We stopped going as a family my sophomore or junior year of high school but I have gone a few times since. It's so beautiful there, I hope one day to have a vacation home there.

My Favorite Movies

You've Got Mail
I could watch this movie over and over again and never get sick of it. Whenever it's on tv I watch it. I own the dvd also. Just love it. 

Fever Pitch
Its hilarious! 


A League of Their Own
Such a classic, feel good movie. 
Sex and the City (both)
Yes I know they're raunchy, but I love the girly, spendy, friendship parts. I hope when I am in my 40s I am rich and have a group of girlfriends I can shop with and go on extravagant trips with.

Yum yum yummy yum yum!!

Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookies
-courtesy of www.twopeasandtheirpod.com- I changed a few things

 
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I added about 1/2 c more to make less sticky)
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter (I used 4 tbsp)
7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used 2 eggs bc I didnt have yogurt)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Soft caramel pieces, rolled into little balls
Sea salt (I used regular salt)

 


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly coat baking sheets with non stick spray (original says to use Silpats)
Mix together flour, soda, and salt; set aside
Melt butter (original says to do it in a sauce pan, I did it on low in the microwave), add sugars and cocoa. Mix. 
Add yogurt (or eggs) and vanilla
Add flour mixture until completely mixed
Spoon dough into hand, add a piece of caramel and wrap the dough around it. Do this for each cookie. Make sure the caramel is completely covered with dough or it will leak out in the oven! 
Sprinkle sea salt on top, lightly press it so it will stick
Bake for 10 minutes

ENJOY!!
