She who has cookie dough is never alone.
There are two explanations for this. One: if you have cookie dough, your friends will all want some too, and thus they will gravitate towards you. And two: even if your friends do not come running (which, by the way, means you have super-odd friends), you’ve still got cookie dough to keep you company!
Above, a delicious batch of Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough Babies.
My friends were all busy yesterday, so I made new friends. Chocolate friends. Healthy and sugar-free cookie dough balls that taste exactly like way better than cookie dough Larabars.
If you have not tried this recipe yet, I highly recommend it!!
I devoured my new friends.
Without remorse.
Yeah, maybe you don’t really wanna be friends with me.
And soon…
The babies need siblings: Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Haha actually, when I’m alone, I love checking out different food blogs. My friends and family who know that I love food blogging always ask me, “How do you not get bored looking at recipes over and over?”
I guess I never really thought about it that way. Reading my favorite food blogs, and just catching up on the newest concoctions and creations is really enjoyable for a food-obsessed person like me! In fact, I’m rarely bored, and the more recipes the better 🙂
I LOVE those shiny magenta cupcake tin wrappers!!! SO cute! 🙂
Oh and I LOVE my alone time. I love my friends and family but being by yourself is so necessary sometimes!
I like the header!
I blog, read, run, and bake when I am alone. I mainly read and blog though. I love to learn new things about people, food, and exercise!
The new header is so you! I love the new saying underneath!
I loooove alone time actually! I am a social butterfly but being alone and just having time to myself is always nice.
I just got back from a great weekend trip with some friends, but after 3 days of zero alone time, it feels so good to just sit in quiet, catching up on blogs, eating dinner in peace, and going to bed whenever I feel like it. I also live with roommates, so my alone time is few and far between back at school.
Girl downtime and alone time is the most SACRED time of all!!! Without it, I feel uncentered, out of balance, the world is just not right. Now this is VERY hard with a child, a FT Job, a husband…to be alone and to carve out this space and time but I need it. That’s why I do yoga and run, even if for 20 mins, to be alone, to not have someone need me, need something from me, or to do something for them…it’s what recharges me so that I CAN keep on giving to everyone in my life from my family to my readers to my coworkers, etc.
And the cookie dough balls…just posted about mine b/c I made a batch for the winner of the Great Fundraising Act auction. Ironically the SAME WOMAN who bid on them an won them in your auction for Japan won them in Janetha’s auction for Susan. I posted about it!
I like alone time OCCASIONALLY. I would much rather be shopping or chatting with friends. And I love your new header photo but I think I liked your old subtitle better, I was catchier, I think. I really don’t mean that offensively.
No no, not offensive at all! I’m trying to work that phrase back into my about-me page, because I really liked it better too.I just changed because I want people to know exactly what my blog is about when they first click on.
I like your new header =) I’m someone who needs a lot of alone time. I love to be around people, but then I need a couple hours of me time. It’s my way of focusing on my to-do list, working out, reading, meditating, writing etc. Then after a few hours I’m ready for people time.
I say this with all honesty.
I LONG for alone time, now more than ever. I have two young children who are the most wonderful gift in the world… but imagine a gift that consumes all of your free time & is completely dependant on you 😉 You don’t really get a lot of “alone” time. On the seldom occasion that I do, there’s almost nothing that I don’t like to do… so long as it’s peaceful and relaxing 😉
Oh, I love the new header MUCH better than the old one!!!! I think it describes your blog better.
The header looks great!! I’ve been playing around with mine too.
And as much as friend/roommate/boyfriend time is awesome, I really treasure my alone time to relax, be productive, just veg, whatever!
Because im so shy I really enjoy my alone time!! I love just sitting around the house in my Pjs not really caring what I look like 🙂 I also like to go to the gym alone, I think its pointless to have a gym partner because I dont really like to chit-chat when im at the gym. I love the new header, super cute!!
I am kind of an introvert and I usually enjoy my time alone but after a few months being alone 99% of my spare time I can say that no sight is beautiful enough and no baked good is delicious enough to erase the taste of disappointment. So recently in my “alone” time I’ve simply been feeling lonely.
And I forgot to say that the new banner looks really nice. But does the title mean that we are going to see desserts only from now on?
I’m thinking I *might* start doing a Savory Sunday in the future. Not sure yet!

The new header is CUTE! I love it! My alone time is watching the Bachelorette. Ha ha ha! It’s my one night I sit down and just veg out (and eat yummy food) while the husband and my twins boys are asleep. 🙂
Love all your recipes!! 🙂
Oh yes, sometimes I need my alone time. And as my parents and sister are on vacation, I have the house all by myself the whole week. Lots of alone time!
I am planning to try at least one new recipe every day and the most will be from your blog 😉
Yesterday I made the brownie batter dip and I’ve just finished my breakfast with the blueberry pancakes. Nomnomnom
Other things I love to do in my alone time (besides cooking) is working out, yoga and playing on The Sims :p Oh, and my music will always be on pretty loud, so a lot of dancing and singing will be happening too.
I like the new header too 🙂
