Aww I loved this! The challenge that beauty really is everywhere, and it's our choice to take note and see it in everything - light, food, clothes, you name it! This was such a fun read :)

My favorite dish to share is the Triple C Trifle (Corie's Chocolate Coffee Trifle) = a layer of homemade brownies (incl a dash of espresso powder and dark chocolate chunks in the brownies) + a layer of homemade old fashioned coffee pudding + a layer of toffee/Heath chips + a layer of whipped cream and then repeat 3 x. It's best if you make it the day before and let it all mingle happily before digging in.

Do you have a recipe to share for the two cookie treat? Sounds tasty!

Hi Corie, lovely to meet you here! Ok wow, the Triple C Trifle sounds amazing! The special addition of the espresso powder and dark chocolate chips in the brownies? I'm inspired!! Thank you for sharing this!

And yes! I can't say it's a mind-blowing recipe but it was just the cozy, simple treat I needed: https://humbly-homemade.com/chewy-almond-butter-oatmeal-cookies-with-chocolate/ And to be honest, when I made these I was feeling too lazy to make this other cookie recipe that is truly incredible, so I'll share that too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBoRFThJiub/

She’s back!! 🎉 so glad you’re sharing your creativity through writing by returning to Substack!

Let’s be real! I’d probably bring something easy to the dinner party. My go-to is pigs in a blanket. Gives me peace of mind with the stress of preparing for a gathering. Hopefully, the thoughts I have to share make up for my overly simplified dish 😂

Yesss back at last - and thank YOU for the motivation last night to go ahead and post!!

Ok this is actually smart to take the non-stressful route. I support that. Very dinner-party-friendly too. Ok but also if you were coming to my dinner party I would be wondering what it would take to convince you to make one of your incredible sourdough recipes. Trying one of your creations is on my bucket list!!!
