I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues.

Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies
For the longest time I thought red velvet was a special kind of cake batter. Like Dr. Pepper, I wasn't sure what was in it but I knew it was different.

Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
Oklahoma City has finally joined the civilized world...WE GOT A TRADER JOE'S, Y'ALL!! I'm so freaking excited. I decided not to venture to the new grocery store on the very first day of its opening, so I went the next day...and it was well worth it.
