Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies

Even though I LOVE my job now and am so proud of how successful Keep It Sweet Desserts seems to be so far, I still look forward to the weekend.  This week I crammed as much work as possible into Monday-Thursday so that I can spend three full days out of the kitchen and (for the most part) away from the computer.  I seriously can not remember the last time I went for that long of a stretch.  Even last weekend when I had some time to relax I still spent some of each day working and baking.  Being a one-woman-shop has made me appreciate my free time on another level.

Weekend plans in Philly include dinners here and here but obviously the food I’m looking forward to most is ICE CREAM at Franklin Fountain.  Although, this should be pretty fun for lunch tomorrow.  Oh, you are wondering what activities we have planned.  Nothing yet.  We will probably spend the time in between meals walking off all those delicious calories.  It’s all about balance, right?

Speaking of food, if you like cheesecake but don’t want to commit to a big slice, think about trying these cheesecake cookies posted on Fox today!

St. Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

I’m usually so bad about coming up with holiday-themed desserts.  But today, in honor of my LAST DAY OF WORK and tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day, I’m sharing something so easy that you won’t mind making it last minute.

St. Patrick’s Day Mint Chocolate Cookie Sandwiches

The secret to these sandwiches is a pre-made wafer cookie.  Shhh, I won’t tell.  Stuff them with homemade mint buttercream and dip them in chocolate then no one will care.  Sometimes it is all about the buttercream anyway.

On another note, after today I’ll be starting my sort-of-new life where I generally work from home, create my own schedule and have to self-motivate.  My plan is to create a schedule for myself every Sunday night, get up early every morning for the gym (my usual) and then get dressed and work all day.  I’d love any tips you have on staying motivated and being efficient when you work from home!

Oh and suggestions on how to not end up in the kitchen eating cookies all day would probably be helpful too.
