As Monday was valentines day, I thought I'd share my newest love...baking...with you :) Here are a few fun things I've done since January. Let's just say...when I get snowed in, I bake.

Kolaches: updated recipe coming sooner than the 6 months or so I normally have between post.

Mini pies! Idea from not Martha's blog. When I make them, I like to use criso's pie crust recipe. Depending on how many mini pies you want to make,  you can choose how much pie crust dough you'll need. Normally, I just make a few so I use the single crust recipe. For fillings I either use premade pie filling, or just toss some fresh fruit in some corn starch and sugar.

Green bay packer cookies, because my team totally rocked this year. I may have brought a bunch of packer helmet cookies to work after the superbowl...GO PACK GO!

Hot pink rice krispy treats :) If you ever want to cut out rice crispy treats in shapes, I like to use metal cookie cutters sprayed with some pam to keep them from sticking to the treats.

To get me moving on blogging I've revamped the site. I'm really into lomography photos and subtle backgrounds now...as such, ta-dah new ruth blog! I'm still working on getting all the kinks out, like all the photos in the design slides to be the same width :P

Happy Friday, lets get the weekend rolling with Snoop Dogg's tribute to Sookie Stackhouse lol

Well, I'm not going to win any awards for blogging regularly...but, I'm back :) I just uploaded the blogger app to my iPhone, so we will see if that facilitates more updates, for more Ruth friendly 140 character updates you can visit my Twitter.

And now for some of my favorite parts of Oklahoma summers :)
