Alright...ALRIGHT!!! I will admit it...I really love pinterest. Why do I love it? Oh...I don't know...maybe for reasons like THIS!!

Ok...ok...in short...Pinterest allows me to find silly pictures in one spot without having to spend hours on google looking up different themes....I can now just spend those hours on Pinterest...find LOTS OF GREAT THINGS.

I have to preface this blog post with this. I am not a naturally crafty/bakey person...so yes...I am always awed by things like this....

why yes, Pinterest...how did you know I've been DREAMING of a gingerbread/pumpkin/whipped cream triffle my whole life??

Anywho...long story short...I have felt the need, for the past few weeks, to become more domestic. Why? Oh...I don't know...maybe because when my mom was my age, she had five kids already. Maybe because, most of my friends and sisters have or are having babies and are moving on in their domesticated life-styles. Who said you have to have a family to want to bake?? Huh?

Ok...Alright! I may be a little sensitive about the fact that I ate chips with melted cheese on top for dinner two days in a row. I might be a little tender about the fact that I fill my cart at Target with meals-for-one...every week...

So maybe I want to change that a little bit. Maybe I thought I would try some of the recipes that I constantly pin on Pinterest....Starting with...

Blogging world...meet Reeses Smore's Bars...

They look delicious right? Nice and tasty...You can tell that there are reeses in there...You can tell that there is fluffy white marshmellow fluff. You can tell that it is delicious...And OH!!! I so wanted to impress my family and friends at the Fourth of July party...I had a daydream as I was whipping them up, of everyone devouring them and asking for more. I dreamed of everyone saying..."Why is Brittany Bly not married yet??! CLEARLY she is a domesticated Goddess."

But alas my friends...I did dream in vain. Little did I know that creul fate had different plans for me....I made it VERY clear if baking were indeed the reason why people are in relationships...I am VERY single for this sole reason...

Yes...they were disgusting. And when I pulled them out of the oven...I looked at them in horror, realizing that they definitely did NOT turn out right. My second thought was...How the hell am I going to get these bars out of this pan??? They looked very melted into the damned thing...and to make matters worse...the pan was my roommate's...that's how un-bakey I am.

The only good thing that came out of this whole situation was that when I went to cut into the stupid "bars" the knife wouldn't even cut to the bottom carmalized disaster, so when I tried to pull the knife out of the" bars"...the whole thing slid right out of the pan! haha...Talk about miracles...

I hung my hypothetical apron up for another day. A little humbled...but not compltely defeated, I pondered on the situation thinking...I have failed pinterest.

Saturday rolled around and that baking desire boiled in my heart again....I decided to try once more...

This was my goal...

Banana Bars....with BROWN butter frosting!!

Oh delicious...You can almost smell them, can't you?

Well, long story short, (because I am tired of getting distracted by Pinterest everytime I have to look up a new picture...) I was determined to redeem myself. I longed to say to my friends, "Oh hey, do you want a Banana Bar?" and have them try it and melt into the bliss of consuming the baked ecstasy.

WELLL...It was a success!! I redeemed myself!!
