A while ago I entered into a giveaway over at Chocolate on my Cranium for a William Joseph CD. I didn't really think much about it afterwards, because well, I've entered lots of giveaways and haven't won any of them. But much to my surprise, I won! I was pretty much overjoyed. I have been looking for some piano arrangements of church hymns.
I got the mail today, and I almost died when I saw that the CD came! I immediately downloaded it into iTunes, and I am currently listening to it right now. It is a really beautiful CD!
If you want to check out William Joseph, here's his website!
Thanks to Cocoa at Chocolate on My Cranium for this wonderful CD! I am already in love with it!

Brownies
Hello!
Here is my latest creation:
Brownies!
I love brownies. I could probably eat them all day. But that would not be good.
I am so used to making them out of a box, since that's what I've been doing for my whole childhood years. Well. It is so nice to get a homemade one that tastes way better than the out of the box brownies the I am so used to.

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp espresso powder, optional
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
2. In
a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and
stir to combine. Return the mixture to the heat briefly, just until it's
hot, but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it.
Heating this mixture a second time will dissolve more of the sugar,
which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
3. Transfer
the sugar mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl, if you've heated it in
a saucepan. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder,
and vanilla.
4. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth.
5. Add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth.
6. Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
7. Bake
the brownies for about 30-35 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into
the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to
it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should
look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool
completely prior to cutting.
8. Enjoy with all your heart.
^ That is a very important step in the process! If you're going to take the time to make homemade brownies, then why not enjoy them!

Homemade Oreos
Well hello there!
I think my favorite store bought cookies are the Oreos. They are so addicting! I wanted to take a stab at making my own, and I like them more.

Wish List: Shoes
I love shoes. I love shopping for shoes. And I love expensive shoes that I will never ever have unless I buy them myself.
Here are the ones I want for my birthday.
They are boating shoes, and are so fun! They have ones in all different colors, but I think these are the cutest.

I love these Toms! Everyone is wearing them at school, and to be honest, I think they are super awesome. I want some really bad:)
Valentines Toms
I already have a pair of these, but since my feet grew, I need a new one. They are kind of expensive for flip flops, but they form to your feet and are super comfortable!

Sick Update
Well I went to the doctor yesterday. I was tested for the flu, strep throat, and a chest xray.
It turns out that I have pneumonia! Fun stuff right? No way.
I had a fever of 104.0 and it wasn't coming down. I was pretty much coughing with every other breath I took.
But now! I am feeling better, and my fever is at 98.9. Whew!
But I have a band concert today. And I can't go. And I was the only one playing the part. I feel really bad about it, but I guess they will have to work it out. I feel so bad!
Recently I've just been watching Say Yes to the Dress and sleeping. And eating Subway when I'm hungry.
Anyway. That's how my past 2 days have been.
Hopefully I will have a new recipe soon! When I'm better.
