This is how to clean your room fast, and well, so that you can have a gorgeous pristine palace like you deserve without having to take all day. We’re busy!  First, I like to throw on some inspirational music (you know it gotta be Taylor) and I make sure I have all the trash bags and stuff I need.  Let’s go!

 My dog turned five and so of course we threw her an extravagant party. Here’s how to celebrate your pet’s birthday. We started by giving her dog friendly pancakes for breakfast.  Then we gave her lots of cuddles. We also watched her favorite movie with some popcorn for all of us.  We also gave her a Princess cape.  Here was our schedule: - pancakes  - pet store shopping spree  - pup cup from Starbucks  - cheese store shopping spree  - tv marathon  - dog friendly cake with dog friendly ice cream  - presents and cards  - homemade song played in her honor  - horror movie with popcorn and cuddles  - Eras Tour in bed  - reading a dog story before falling asleep  Tell me how you celebrate your pet’s birthday in the comments! And also, for a St. Patrick’s day treat, tell me what topic you’d like to hear about next. 

 I love making biscotti. We always eat them up within three days! Here is the base, simple recipe. But you can add anything you’d like, and experiment. My experiments have included toasted coconut, homemade brown sugar streusel topping, dried cherry with candied orange bits,  and chocolate pistachio. Have fun!  Preheat the oven to 300.  Toast up your nuts of choice while the oven is preheating. Mix your nuts with 2 cups of white flour, a cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, half a stick of cold cubed butter, 3 eggs, and a tablespoon of veggie oil. Add any other mix ins. Shape your biscotti like a mound. Bake for 25 minutes, then let cool. Slice your loaf into the biscotti, and bake for nine minutes. Flip your biscotti over and bake for nine more minutes before letting it cool for at least 15 min.  The biscotti might look a touch soft when they come out, but will harden almost instantly while being allowed to cool. Enjoy!
