Guess I'm 22...when did that happen?

I think ever since my 19th birthday I've been asking that question, "How old am I and when did that happen?".   I think it has something to do with the fact that people don't ask me on a regular basis how old I am.  I always have to think about it too, how old I am.  I guess it's because I always feel the same.   Maybe that's what my elders were talking about. =/   I bet I'm going to have a hard time admitting I'm 84 when I'll be that old, especially if I still feel 40 LOL.  Just like my grandfather. =]

I've been thinking about grandpa a lot lately.  Wondering if he's out there and watching over me or if he is really only left in our hearts.  Either way, I wish I could have gotten to know him better.  Been a little older when he was around.

Okay, back to the birthday thing. It was a quiet day, with my boyfriend and his family but it was nice.  Vlad remembered it was my birthday so that was pretty great and I got tons of birthday wishes and phone calls.  I also was in a huge baking mood so I cooked one classic recipe and one new pinterest found recipe. The classic older one was the Nestles Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies but I used mini chocolate chips instead of regular size.  If you haven't tried it, you should!  It's got yummy chocolateness in every bite!  Take a look (sorry for the bad photo quality)!

And of course it was a success as ever!  It definitely impressed Jami and Rick too! haha!

The other thing I made which was new one was Reece's Peanut Butter Bars!  This one was made with Vladimir in mind.  I found it through pinterest on this website.

So, making this recipe made me realize right away the reason why Reese's Peanut butter cups are good.  Take a look...

 Judging by those ingredients, what's not to love!?

So here was the final result.  It was easy to make and I think it tasted even better then the store bought ones!  So very good!

So I made it and it was easy and fast and EVERYONE loved it!  Changes I would recommend is to refrigerate for one hour then cut as desired. Then refrigerate a while longer to avoid the peanut butter bottom from crumbling (at least 2 hours if you have the time).  However, either way it tastes just as fabulous!

So that's all I really have to report! =]

I hope you all are doing great! I'll be seeing my parents tomorrow and the in-laws and the parents are finally officially meeting this week!  GETTING NERVOUS!

I'll report back soon I hope!

Hope you're all doing well! 

Love,
