We don’t usually post on Sundays, but “First on the Second” just doesn’t have quite the same ring as “First on the First”, so happy April 1st! No fooling here, sorry, and I do not look forward to the day someone shares the joy of April Fool’s Day with my innocent kids. Believe me, you […]
Saturday Sweets: Apple Oat Bars
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
First on the First: Eclairs!
Our power goes out at the most inconvenient times. Like last night, when I was trying to {finally} get started on a 4000 word paper that I naturally left myself two nights to complete. Last night was also when I was planning to write this post and, when our power goes, so does our internet. […]
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Lemon Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream
Happy Saturday, friends! I’m thrilled it’s Saturday because that means I’m one day closer to Monday, when I’ll have a kitchen countertop again! I knew I loved cooking and baking but never really realized how much of my day it ate up until it was gone. These past 3-ish weeks have seen some looooong days. […]
Cranberry White Chocolate Scones with Orange Icing
You’ll never guess who we have guest posting on this day of looooove. It’s our mom! (Would you have guessed that?) Really, on a day about love, we can’t forget how much love exists in the world that isn’t romantic love. What is stronger than a mother’s love? I’d wager on nothing, personally. I would […]
Sticky Jubilee Cinnamon Buns
So, there seems to be some debate as to what actually constitutes a cinnamon bun. Is it a bun with icing, or can it be topped with brown sugar and butter? Is a sticky cinnamon bun really a chelsea bun? Does a cinnamon bun have nuts? Raisins? White sugar? Brown sugar? Are they cinnamon BUNS, […]
