You’d think I’m unaware that spring is here. I’ve been on a comfort food kick for awhile now that shows no signs of bowing to the pressure of evening light, buds on trees, and grass in need of mowing. I am all about the soups, chilis, pastas, and turkey dinner these days. Not to mention […]
Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares
There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]
Cranberry Orange Crumble Squares {Cookbook Review}
You guuuuuuuuuuys. I cannot even tell you how excited I was when this cookbook arrived in the mail. First of all, free things! They make me silly happy. Second of all, beautiful free things! It’s been awhile since I had a new cookbook to drool over, and this one is beyond droolworthy. With stunning, colourful […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudge Revel Bars – Starbucks Copycat
I am so excited to share this recipe with you. And not just a little bit excited. These. Squares. Are. Delicious. Oh, and what’s even better? They taste JUST like the squares you can buy at Starbucks! Look.Out. I only made half of the recipe, and man, am I ever glad I did – or […]
Saturday Sweets: Lemon Crinkle Cookies
These are a cookie made for my husband if there ever was one. He loves anything lemon, and my affectionate nickname for him is “Crinkles” due to the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles – he is going to have WAY better wrinkles than me when we’re old. I know, GAG, right? I […]

Since today is your last day to get ready for Valentine’s day, I am bringing you a delicious, easy way to impress your loved one. Originally named “Knock you Naked” Brownies, I thought I’d keep our version […]
Saturday Sweets: Dark Chocolate Merlot Cookies
Dark chocolate and wine. Two of my favorite things ever. In a cookie. Another one of my favorite things ever. If only I could have incorporated cheese, this would have had my Top 4 favorite (edible) things all in one place! Three out of four is definite win, though. When I saw this idea from […]
First on the First: Vanilla Macarons
Is anyone else a headlong, whim-driven person who puts a lot of research into things? It might seem like a funny combination, but this month’s First on the First challenge just reinforced my self-awareness in this area. I like to learn everything I can about something, freak myself out, put it off for too long, […]
Almond Joy Cookies
I am so glad to be back in the kitchen and actually able to photograph the food I’ve been making. My camera decided to go on a vacation on me, and I was worried it had left forever and forgotten to leave a note. Fortunately, my cousin just happened to be fiddling with it, and […]
Chewy Coconut Cashew Granola Bars
I have a thing for granola bars. In highschool, they were such a staple in my lunch that I think I got addicted. I started to crave them on days I didn’t have one, and they were a big part of my grocery budget as a newlywed. As I started making more and more things […]
