Cookie Dough Dip and a Homecoming

Happy Sunday, beauties!  I hope y'all have had a wonderful weekend so far!  I have been a busy bee lately!

Last week, a group of us went to the Duke 80's party which was soooo much fun!

(here is last year's party)

Before the shin-dig, we had drinks and appetizers, and got all dolled up in our best 80's gear. 

I have had a major sweet tooth lately, so I decided to bring a Cookie Dough Dip, which was pretty darn amazing.

I served it with graham crackers, mini nilla wafers, and animal crackers.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened

3/4 powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup mini chocolate chips, plus extra for sprinkling

Directions:

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the brown sugar until it dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble. Stir in vanilla and set aside to cool.

In a separate bowl, cream the cream cheese and powdered sugar together for 60 seconds. With the mixer on low speed, add in brown sugar and butter mixture. Mix until combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips. Serve with cookies of choice!

YESTERDAY, was the best day of summer :)

My wonderful husband has been away in Philadelphia for the past 11 weeks for a Duke MBA internship.

It was really hard being away from eachother, but God was so good, and strengthened our marriage in incredible ways.  

And now he is BACK!!  WAHOOO!!

He got home right before dinner last night, so I was able to whip up some of his favorite foods :)

Fresh sangria, guacamole, tacos, and popsicles!  He was a happy boy. 

 







Tomorrow, we are off to sunny Florida for the week!!

XOXO
