Peanut Butter Cup Blondies

Let’s discuss my shortcomings. Or rather, let’s discuss ONE of my shortcomings, because we’ll need stuff to talk about in the future and I don’t have that many.

Humility, apparently, should be added to the list, but that’s not the one we’re talking about today.

The one we’re talking about today is my complete disorganization in all aspects of my life, specifically with grocery shopping. I make my list, spend about five minutes in the store halfheartedly attempting to stick to it, and then ripping it into tiny, confetti-like shreds, tossing it into the air, and running down the aisles with both arms out, theatrically sweeping everything that isn’t meat into my cart. I have fragmented thoughts of half-recipes while I’m doing it (“Coconut milk! We can have curry tomorrow! Butternut squash! I can make ravioli! Oh, white chocolate chips! I need those for…something.”). Then I get home and am confronted with the cold reality that I don’t have any curry paste to go with the coconut milk, I don’t know how to make ravioli, and I already have four bags of white chocolate chips – and I still can’t remember what I desperately needed them for.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cookies

A couple of things are reminding me of being a kindergartener right now. The first day of school, for one. For lots of people, it was last week or the week before. For me, the only reason I really noticed is because the blissfully light summer traffic has once again descended into gridlock. Welcome back, everyone! I’m really enjoying sharing the roads with you again! Second, I have an unshakable cold, which makes me act like a small child. Whining, complaining, going completely limp when someone tries to make me get up and do something…hey, I’m reminding me of being a kindergartener!

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dessert Hummus

Dessert hummus? What on earth is dessert hummus?

I didn’t know either, and being Lebanese, I know hummus in all its variations (or so I thought). White bean. Roasted garlic. Red pepper. Chipotle. Edamame. Cilantro. I could go on and on. But never in my 31 (ugh) years had I heard of dessert hummus. So when I came across the recipe, I was obviously intrigued – and a little nervous. Would I end up with an inedible pile of goo and then be out of beans the next time I wanted stew? Would I be shaming my ancestors by calling this hummus?
