DIY Friday: cookie dough dip

This dip is seriously decadent! It's super yummy! And according to the name of this dip, there should be cookies or cookie dough in it, but you really don't with the taste that this dip brings. You can dip animal crackers, graham crackers, apple slices, pear, etc! It's relatively healthy & really easy to throw together, whether it be for a gathering or ALL for yourself!

Your ingredients: 

1/2 cup Butter

1 8oz Cream cheese

1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

1 cup Chocolate chips

1 cup powdered sugar ( I skipped this part)

2 tablespoons Brown sugar (I only used 1/2-3/4 cup of coconut sugar.)

First: Gather your ingredients. Cream together cream cheese & butter. If you have a mixer, it's handy! If not, use yo muscles! 

Notes: do not use reduced fat or low-fat cream cheese. As it may cause your dip to have the wrong consistency. 

Second: add all remaining ingredients and mix until well combined. 

Third: Enjoy!

If nothing else, try making it for a house party or a hostess gift by buying a pretty dish and platter and putting graham crackers with it. 

Enjoy! - Ryn 

The princess and the pea... Of a dog...

Some nights I just feel like the princess and the pea! I try and try and try to get comfortable, but to no avail, I'm tossing or turning, or squirming!

It could have something to do with this certain dog that shares my bed! How she's only 10lbs and somehow she ends up stretched out like she owns the ENTIRE bed! I wouldn't change it one bit, but, I do wish some personal space was available! 😉 But oh well! I guess her legs will jab into my side... Until I move her, and during the night she'll creep back to snuggle, which really is adorable! 😘😴

Happy dreaming!
