Do you ever get the restless urge to do something but can't? Like today - it's a crappy, gloomy, rainy day out, and I just really want to write. Problem is - no inspiration. About what should I even write? I want to write another article for Quarter Life Daily but don't know on what topic to discourse. I was reading through some articles I wrote for them and they were good. Very good. Better than anything I've written in quite some time. It's so easy for me to flesh out a topic, but it's finding the idea, the germ of inspiration, that's got me buggered right now. So, instead of writing something with weight and worth, I'm here blathering about not knowing about what to write. Good times. smh.
Well, in lieu of anything of note, I'll expound on food. Because I love food. And there are still several PFC recipes I have yet to share with you, dear readers.

Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies (Wk 18)
1/2 C butter, softened
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Red Food Coloring
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 C Cocoa Powder
1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 C butter, softened
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Red Food Coloring
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 C Cocoa Powder
1/2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla, then mix in food coloring. (Genius move on my part, making red cookies in a red bowl - really made taking pictures easy...womp womp)
2. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Then fold in the chocolate chips (really however many you want - 1/2 C is just a starting point ;)
3. Drop by rounded teaspoon on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 10-12minutes. Let cool 5min before transferring to cooling rack.
These cookies are absolutely delicious - very decadent and a huge hit wherever I've taken them. They're more interesting than regular chocolate chip cookies and you better believe they made it into my personal cookbook.
On the note of fantastic desserts, I give you another winner - and this one is actually relatively healthy, too!

1. Cube up the inside of the pineapple and scoop out all the yummy goodness and plop it into your blender and blend it up. Add the water and however much sugar you want - the riper the pineapple is, the less sugar you'll need. I only added 2 or 3 Tbls of sugar to sweeten it.
2. Pour mixture into a freezer safe dish and freeze 2hrs.
3. Empty the contents back into the blender and blend until smooth. Once it's done, pour it back into the half shells of the pineapple and freeze for at least 5hrs.
4. Enjoy!

Feel free to imbibe any leftover deliciousness that doesn't fit in the shell.
Obviously, late at night I get super excited about frozen food.
It's all about presentation, people. What's more awesome than pineapple sorbet in the half shell? I ask you that.
And there it is - two wonderful, simple desserts sure to thrill at any event. Or, you know, enjoyed alone in your apartment...
