S’mores (homemade!)
On July 4, 2012
Do you have a bucket list? I do. Well, actually a culinary bucket list: all of the things I would like to make before I die.
Homemade marshmallows have been on that list for a while, and for the fourth of July, I thought it’s about time to cross them off. Since [...]
Coconut-Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Rainbow Coconut “Sprinkles”
On June 28, 2012
When my daughter was just about four months old we found out we were pregnant again (SUPRISE!!!!) It’s been three years since our little man was born and he hasn’t stopped surprising us.
Sometimes they are good, like when he runs up and gives me a big hug and kiss for no reason(although he [...]
Glitzy Angry Birds Birthday Cake
On May 23, 2012
Five years ago, before our oldest was born, my husband and I had all kinds of notions about parenthood-all the things we would or wouldn’t do with our daughter. For example:
We will always make sure her faces, clothes and hair are clean and presentable
We will never let her eat [...]

Feelin’ Hot, Hot Hot
Party People, All Around Me
Feelin’ Hot, Hot, Hot
Over the last week, every time I leave the house, it’s already in the 90s by 9am and I sing that ’80′s Buster Poindexter song to myself-and try to refrain from doing a little dance.
Almost over [...]
Rhubarb and Apple Crisp
On April 16, 2012
After returning from Dubai I must admit, it’s been a bit hard to get back into the “swing of things.” It’s finally begun to warm up and I’ve been enjoying spending tons of time with my kids and husband outside and poolside.
But it’s also [...]
I am so very excited about this post! I have such a hard time keeping a secret, good thing my husband isn’t another blogger because I blabbed to him about doing this from the moment I got the request from Chef Dennis about doing a guest post.
To be honest, I was a [...]
Orange Scented Cinnamon Roll Bread
On March 24, 2012
Sometimes I swear this is what I say all day long: No; can you say please; no; don’t jump on that; no; do you need to go potty; no; you need to share; no. If I had a dime for every time I uttered those words…I’d have a lot of dimes!
This week, “Do need [...]
Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
On February 12, 2012
I can’t decorate a cupcake to save my life. But, obviously you know that, just look at the pictures. I did, however, manage to make some pretty tasty ones.
I made a batch to take to the kids’ Valentine’s party, but left them unfrosted so the kids [...]
Sweet Potato Cookies
On January 4, 2012
Sometimes I swear I need a holiday from the holidays. It’s not that it wasn’t a great holiday season, because it was (this was the first year since my husband and I have been married that we’ve been able to spend every holiday together.) It’s just all the fun trips to restaurants, staying [...]
Cindy-Lou Who Christmas Wreaths
On December 24, 2011
When I was a kid, I used to love Dr. Seuss books and much to my delight, my children love them as well. I’m sure part of it is the fact that I’ve been reading One Fish Two Fish and Oh the Places You’ll Go, along with many others since they were babies; but [...]
