Link Love: May 6

by Amanda

I know it’s finally spring when my standard banana oatmeal with peanut butter for breakfast starts to seem less appealing, hot coffee gets traded for iced coffee and I want lemon flavored everything. The problem with my sweet tooth is that I can’t handle anything too sweet and lemon can come off very tart and/or sugary sweet. A recipe from Cooking Light for a lemon muffin seems to have perfected my call for a not-so-sweet sweet. I guess the only way I’ll know for sure is to whip up a batch and taste them myself!

Link Love: Feb. 25

It happens every year: I call up my mom and tell her which Girl Scout cookies to buy. She tells me she already ordered them, and she doesn’t remember which ones she chose. The girls show up to our house with boxes of Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas and occasionally Do-si-dos. I never satisfy my craving for Thanks-A-Lot or Lemon Chalets. I really should have just stayed a Girl Scout. Sadly, it wasn’t even my choice when I stopped in the seventh grade. My troop disbanded leaving me stripped of my patches and cookie-selling abilities. I really only was in it for the cookies.

This week’s link love includes a recipe for Tagalongs, the cookie I unscientifically deem as most popular in my what’s-your-favorite-Girl-Scout-cookie poll. Maybe I should create my own recipe for Thanks-A-Lot or Lemon Chalets. If only I had a sample of the real deal to work off of…
