We’re staying in LA for Christmas this year so we decided it was a good time to start some traditions of our own! You know we love baking but we don’t do it as often as we should. We decided that a great way to try out some new recipes was to have a cookie bake-off! The four of us (Carli, myself, and our boyfriends) had to find a cookie recipe, make it and serve it.

We are days away from fall and we cannot be more excited. Like we’ve said time and time again, fall is our favorite season. We love the pumpkin-palooza happening in the grocery store aisles, the colder temps and everything else fall has to offer. Once September hits, we usually try to plan our fall baking schedule.

They have been one of our favorite treats since we discovered them a few years ago. We’re always shocked to hear that most people don’t know what they are. We’ve introduced countless friends and even…
