Momofuku Milk Bar at Target

I was very surprised to see these boxes on the shelf on a recent trip to Target! I love Momofuku Milk Bar cookies and always make it a point to buy them when I have access to any of them.  With these mixes at Target, it'll be easier than ever to make their cookies, or give them as a gift.  

The Target that I went to has the Funfetti Cookie, Compost Cookie, and Cornflake-chocolate-chip-marshmallow Cookie mixes.  I've had all of these flavors before, and they are all delicious!  The compost cookie might sound weird if you haven't had it before, but I assure you that it's super delicious, with pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, butterscotch, and chocolate chips packed in. So good!  Whether or not you've had Milk Bar cookies before, I would highly recommend picking up a box or two and making the cookies yourself!

Rice Cooker Cheesecake

I have previously posted my love of Japanese hot cakes made in the rice cooker, so when I saw that a cheesecake could also be made in a rice cooker I thought it was such a fun idea! 

This recipe wasn't the exact recipe link that I used when I made this, but the ingredients and process are pretty much identical as far as I can remember.  The cream cheese and lemon juice especially add that classic Japanese cheesecake flavor to this cake.  As you can see mine turned out a bit soft in the center, but it was still cooked through and settled a bit more once it had cooled.  I love the process of a one-bowl cake that basically cooks itself in a rice cooker, and the gigantic, round size is just crazy in the best way possible, haha!

Home Goods - Fall Items

It's no secret that I love fall - especially all of the pumpkin foods - and I am so happy to see that Home Goods has a LOT of fall-themed items in store!  

In addition to lots of pumpkin/leaves/apple dish towels, table runners, Halloween costumes, and flavored coffees, there are lots of adorable decorative items as well.  I really love the acorn container - the top comes off so you can fill it with candy or smaller decorative items.  The glass pumpkins were also everywhere around the store, in various colors and sizes.  If you're in the market for some fall pieces, or just want to feel surrounded by fall-themed items, be sure to check out Home Goods ASAP!
