Pistachio Ridiculousness

I love pistachio nuts and I love baking. So why not celebrate the holidays with some pistachio sweetness? Here are three dessert recipes that are easy to follow and super delicious.

White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Cookies
This recipe is adopted from here. 
The only thing I added was 1 cup of white chocolate chips when you add the cranberries to the batter.

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Toffee
This recipe is super easy and scrumptious!
It makes a great holiday gift as well!

Pear and Pistachio Cake
This last cake I actually haven't tried making yet but doesn't it just look delicious?


google saves the day


Sick and tired of using iphone's not-so-perfect maps application? Stress no more! Google maps has finally launched a google maps app that's free! Check out the all new 2D and 3D interfaces that is available in 40 different countries, with voice turn-by-turn navigation in 29 different languages. What's more, it contains over 80 million businesses and points of interest. So it's basically Yelp and Maps all in one! I'm just going to stop talking and let you see for yourself. 

Things

I always find cute things on other blogs that I love and want to share!
Here are five random things that I found yesterday that made me happy :)

who wouldn't want to eat a cake coffee cup? I would try to make that, but I'm pretty sure I'd fail miserably.

Taki Watches! I love them and absolutely will get one once I figure out what color I want.

The Impossible Instant Lab, uses the screen of your phone to expose polaroid-style instant film.

This shop in Melbourne called The Candy Room has an awesome interior! With simple black vinyls on the wall as decoration, it allows the colorful products to stand out. AND it's chocolate and candy? YES.

I would very much like this on my wall.
