1. Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate cookies are a classic. Everyone loves them are they are sure to be a hit no matter where you bring them. Or eat them all yourself you deserve it. Instead of chocolate chips try using really high quality chocolate and cutting it into chunks!

2. Caramel Brownies

I made these the other night because I love caramel in every dessert I can possibly put it in. The flavor is pretty self-explanatory, but if you're trying to have something extremely decadent try these.

3. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

This dessert is one of my favorites. I love any dessert that has fruit in, I think it adds a refreshing element to desserts that would otherwise be heavy or overwhelming. We all know about pineapple upside down cakes, but we do not make them nearly enough!

If you are craving apple pie but don't want all the fuss that comes with it, apple turnovers are the perfect compromise. They are small and portable, easy to make and super tasty.

5. Bread Pudding

When I went to New Orleans over the summer I went to a restaurant that had quite possibly the best bread pudding I've ever had. Luckily I found an exact copy of the recipe, I have already made this multiple times and can attest to its deliciousness.

6. Red Velvet Cupcakes

Something a little more indulgent and absolutely Instagram worthy. Red velvet cupcakes are super good, especially with a cream cheese frosting. This is my favorite recipe.

7. Coconut Macarons

Not to be confused with macaroons, these little treats are so good. Feel free to explore different flavors. These can be pretty complicated to make, so if you're up for challenge these will be so worth it.

8. Crème Brûlée

The crème de la crème of baking, the ultimate dessert. Creamy custard under a blanket of caramelized sugar. Not only is it delicious, but you get to use a blow torch. These can also be hard to make, but even if you can't achieve the crispy top, the custard is still good as hell.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
