Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!
If you are not watching The Great British Baking Show on PBS, you are missing out. Seriously, your life can’t possibly be complete. This show is hilarious, heart warming, tense, funny, educational and wonderful all wrapped in one! In fact, go stream the first …
I love lemon desserts. Lemon bars. Lemon cake. Lemon ice cream (specifically the Lemon Cookie ice cream by Three Twins… AMAZING!). Seriously, give me any lemon dessert and I’ll eat it. I haven’t quite decided if this is a blessing or a curse… So I’m …
I love muffins for breakfast. Sure they’re not as healthy for you as other breakfast options. And yes, sometimes I put enough sugary sweetness into them they’re more like a dessert, but mornings are hard enough as it is. Don’t we deserve a treat for getting out of our cozy beds?
This is why I made these Lemon Crumble Muffins. Because they’re cute. And sweet. A little messy. And absolutely delicious. And most importantly: portable. Because we all know I’m eating breakfast in my car on the way to work every morning.
I hope you’re not tired of my lemon recipes, because you really need these muffins in your life. Or maybe your friends and family need them in theirs. I can promise you they won’t turn these down.
If I omitted the powdered sugar glaze that was in the original recipe does that mean I made these healthy? I’m pretty sure it does. And also lemon = Vitamin C. So doubly healthy. Bonus!

Remember that time I had a bunch of fresh homegrown California lemons? Well…I still have them. So get ready for even more lemon desserts! I kind of forgot panna cotta existed. That is until Liz at Floating Kitchen made some a few weeks ago and …
Well, the holidays are officially over. And I’m pretty upset about it. We didn’t get a white Christmas (yet drove 6 hours through the snow…), I had to defrost my car from freezing rain yesterday, and to make matters worse? No more holiday Starbucks cups. The …
In one day I got both a pumpkin spice latte and a passion tea lemonade. My taste buds are so contradictory! I want the smells and the tastes of fall, yet I can’t quite get rid of summer and sunshine just yet. So here we are. Passion tea lemonade and a side of pumpkin bread.
I’m not a huge sweetened iced tea person. I like my “sun tea” as we called it growing up and I like it just like that: brewed on the patio in the sun and slurped down sans sugar. So it took me awhile before I ever tried the Starbucks PTL. And of course, I was hooked.
The recipe is so simple. I almost didn’t post it because the hardest step is boiling water! The beauty is you can adjust the tea to lemonade ratio to suite your tastes. You can also add some sweetener if you prefer the sugary version. I won’t judge you, though your dentist might 😉 You can also store the tea separately from the lemonade and mix your drink individually each time, which is perfect if you don’t want a large pitcher taking over the fridge.
I think what I love most about this drink is the color. Just seeing the bright pink and tasting the lemon makes me want to hold on to summer for just a liiiitttlleeee bit longer. Lucky for me, I’m currently in Mexico! Sun and the sand and most definitely a drink in my hand. I’ll soak up a few rays for the rest of you. Kelly’s got you covered until I get back! 🙂

Happy summer! Well, kind of. I guess it’s not technically summer yet but it sure feels like it and if I was still in college, I’d be on summer vacation right now so in my book it’s summer. And speaking of summer vacation, I wish adults …
Well I guess Stephanie and I are both in a lemon and fruit mood. Steph posted the most amazing Fresh Lemon Strawberry Muffins on Monday and today I bring you Blueberry Scones with a Lemon Glaze. If you couldn’t tell, we are both looking forward …
Is anyone else getting spring fever or is it just me? Cause I’m dying over here! At least it’s finally sunny, but 45 just isn’t cutting it. Between the VS swim catalogues that keep showing up in the mail and peoples’ spring break pics I am beyond ready for summer! (remind me of this moment in 4 months when I’m whining I’m too hot). At least the produce is looking better each week. Hello there gorgeous!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is this week?? It falls late this year, so it seems like I should be ready. But somehow here we are again, with a holiday sneaking up on me. If you are hosting this year I’m sure the last thing you …
