my week in photos:

it is our 9th year as a couple. countless ups, shitload of downs; in the end we get through it all. i’ve spent my entire 20s with him. i can’t remember much else before that.

he sent me flowers, i wined and dined him at epic roasthouse. a perfect view with the newly installed lights on the bay bridge. started with bone marrow [fattt], shared a 28oz. ribeye [medium rare] accompanied with whipped mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach and wild mushrooms, ended with beignets with hot chocolate. = we love to eat.

driving around SF until we get lost are one of my favorite things to do [minus the congestion/treaffic]. ice cream from swensen’s + getting lost in russian hill - i love.

juice-experimenting: too much work, i would spend a shittt load on veggies just for a cup of green juice, a bitch to clean. i loooved the outcome, enjoyed my fresh juice, but not sure if i am willing to all this fresh cup.

mint mojito iced coffee - philz - never disappointing.

current obsession: moschino’s striped separates / madewell map print button up [which also comes in a dress]. (!!!)

spring is here and we made spring baskets for our referring offices :) 
i love san francisco.

s’mores cookie recipe:

who does not like s’mores? if you don’t, then i instantly hate you. just kidding, but it is very difficult for me to understand why you wouldn’t.

here is the recipe for the amazing s’mores cookie, which consists of a graham cracker base, marshamallows folded in chocolate chip cookie dough, then baked with hershey’s bars and i added even MORE marshmallows. 

ORIGINAL RECIPE and wayyy more detailed: —-> S’MORES COOKIES

here’s what i did:

first and foremost: preheat oven 375 degrees, make your own chocolate chip cookie dough, fold in marshmallows.

1. lay out graham crackers on cookie sheet.
2. rolled up spoonfuls of chocolate chip + marshmallow cookie batter on each graham          cracker square.

3. bake in oven 375 degrees for 5min!
4. open oven THEN press hershey’s bars on each cookie.
5. [not pictured: add more marshmallows as well for more gooey goodness!] 

6. bake for another 5min! wait to cool, then cut + serve!
 

hope you guys are obsessed with this as much as i am!

p.s. they are just as good [if not better] the next day!
