Two friends, miles apart, who love to bake!
I LOVE ice cream (and milkshakes)! It is my favorite dessert and if you were to ask my favorite food, 75% of the time I’d say ice cream. Mint chip from Baskin Robbins to be exact. Or toasted almond from Leatherby’s (an awesome local ice …
I have taken a little 2 week hiatus from baking (sorry for slacking Steph!) so this weekend I decided to do nothing but bake! Well and sleep, read, workout, go to church, watch the Oscars, take two naps… ok so I didn’t spend the whole …
Well Stephanie, I guess I take the cake on baking procrastination… In my defense, I made this specifically for Valentine’s Day at the office but just haven’t blogged about it until now. The beauty of puppy chow, however, is that it is not holiday specific. You can make it for Easter or 4th of July or tomorrow, just because you feel like it!

If Kelly has a Nutella addiction, I have a peanut butter addiction: on my toast at breakfast, with an apple at lunch, by the spoonful for a snack, on my ice cream at night…it’s a daily necessity. I recently found this honey peanut butter from …

I cannot believe that Christmas is over. It always comes and goes too fast! Fortunately, I come from a large family and we extend Christmas- we celebrate with 4 days festivities.
Things I love about baking at my parent’s house: KitchenAid mixer!!! Giant butcher block island. Double oven. Always having every ingredient I can possibly think of. Surround sound kitchen speakers and XM radio. Things I don’t love: I can never, ever, find anything. Once my …
I used to hate Black Bottom Cupcakes growing up. Well, I should not say hate. Hate is a strong word. As mom used to say, “You should only hate the devil and Hitler.” I think it’s safe to throw in some others in that saying …
I need chocolate. Badly. And by need I mean I’ve been scrounging through cupboards, looking for lost gems hidden away for days just like today. Sadly…none to be found. I finished off some spice cake, straight from the pan with a fork, while I thought through my options.
The easy quick fixes, like no bakes or boxed brownies, just didn’t seem like they would cut it. I needed something more. -Sidenote- I was never allowed to make no bake cookies when I was younger. My dad said something along the lines of it wasn’t real baking, those were for children, I needed to make something more mature, etc., etc. etc. I suppose a thank you is in order…although it still seems like a harsh rule…
