That's right. It's a stuffed marshmallow on a stick. Dipped in chocolate. I'm still trying to figure out how it took me this long to think of these. Is it normal to dream up recipes in your sleep? I totally dreamed up this recipe in my sleep.

Chocolate-dipped Peanut Butter Marshmallow Oreo Pops
So I got bored the other day while I was waiting for my Chocolate-dipped S'more Pops to set and I found some Double-Stuf Oreos in the pantry. I thought I'd try a little spin-off on Oreo pops and add marshmallow and pb. The result is a cute pop that tastes a LOT like Peanut Butter Patties (Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I have no idea what the pb Girl Scout cookies are called nowadays, but back when I was a Daisy and slap bracelets and pogs were cool- we called them Peanut Butter patties). I LOVED this combinated. These may be my favorite pop yet.

Mickey Mouse Oreo Pops
So I wasted basically the whole day on Tuesday planning our ride strategy for Disneyland.
(In case you're wondering, we're not going until October, but us OCD freaks really like to plan. Like REALLY like to plan. I have our entire packing list typed up, have been brainwashing our 3 year old with DisneyParks videos on Netflix for awhile now, and am appalled at how few Halloween costumes are available in July. Really now. Come on Target.).
In case you didn't know there is a strategy that works best. If you would like to know a fun fact about me, it is that I am pretty much a Disney expert. Which means I am also a nerd. I know all about the "secret" bathroom, California Adventure's unofficial opening 1/2 hour before posted, and the real skulls that are stuck in the walls of Pirates of the Caribbean.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, congratulations, you probably have a life. If you do, we should probably be BFF's.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins with Pecan Streusel
To every 10 year old child within a 40-mile radius of my house,
I know you think those rolling skatey shoes are super cool. It's probably kind of like taking the moving sidewalk (also known as a travelator, but I'm guessing that wasn't on your 5th grade vocab list) at the airport when everyone else has to walk. If I were you I would probably think they were "the bomb" as well. I mean, I like to take pictures of my friends crashing into displays at Target and post them on the internet too. However, no offense, but you look kinda dumb. Also you're not making a great case for lowering the driving age to eleven. And plus, since I write my local governor daily urging him to pass a law outlawing these maniacal shoes,that have almost claimed my life twice, I'm pretty sure they will soon be illegal as well. I sympathize with you. Really I do. But cut your losses and scrap the shoes immediately. Maybe your mom will buy you some super awesome toning shoes instead.
Thanks.
Katie

Pumpkin Waffles with Apple Cider Syrup
Just indulge me for a few days here and embrace my abundance of Fall recipes. I have a little bit of an obsession with the season and since everyone and their chia pet is having a "Christmas in July" sale, I'm pretty sure I can have a letspretenditsfallandnot5000degreesoutside post. Am I right? Thank you very much.

Because everybody needs a peach cobbler muffin for breakfast now and again.

Carrot Cake Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting
I saw this recipe on Pinterest the other day. That website seriously gets me in so much trouble. I omitted the currants because, well, for one thing I haven't the slightest idea where one even goes to buy currants, and for another, I didn't feel like having strange pieces of random fruit in my cookies. But do whatever you want. Word on the street (and by street, I mean MarthaStewart.com) is that you can replace the currants with raisins. Your call. Martha's frosting was.... less than desireable. I don't know if it was the lemon juice or what the heck was wrong but it was a big fail. It tasted salty and sour and weird. Maybe she got the recipe in jail. I don't know.
Anyways, I replaced it with some of my own cream cheese frosting and suddenly everything was right in the world. These are AWE. SOME. Put them in your tummy now. You can also make the cookies a day in advance and store them in a Ziploc. It makes these super fast to assemble and eat. The cookies are chewier than I expected and taste a bit like a gingersnap/carrot cake cross, but they are still amazing. If you are afraid of grating carrots, you need to invest in one of these. Seriously. I'm pretty sure that's the best five dollars you will ever spend.
Malt Shoppe Ice Cream Pie
It makes me sad when I make something so delicious and the pictures turn our horrible. Maybe you remember my disclaimer that I am NOT a photographer? In case you needed proof I thought I'd post this picture. Just take my word that this ice cream pie is so worth making and buying all the ingredients for. (I don't know about you but I didn't have almost *any* of these ingredients in my pantry.) Still glad I made it. There's something about malt that's just knock-your-socks-off. You're going to want to use a Springform pan for this. (That's the kind where the sides unlatch and pop right off). Play with your pan before you make this. If you're a moron like me and haven't used your Springform for awhile, you might spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how it comes apart and almost dump the whole pie on the floor. It could be bad news bears.
