We are a little addicted to waffles here. Ever since I decided to pull out the twenty year old waffle maker that had only been used about twice…let’s just say it lives on the counter now. Well…if you know me you know that isn’t true. It lives very close to the counter where I can […]
Dessert
Cinnamon Pear Hand Pies
I know I’ve mentioned that growing up we were not exactly the healthiest of eaters…if it was processed we probably ate it at one point or another. Good or bad, some of those flavors stick with you and become the underlying layer of your food memories. For me, one of those flavors is Pillsbury Cinnamon […]
Coconut & Oat Crispies
When we make cookies in our house they are most always chocolate chip. Our go to favorite. The dough we always have frozen ahead in case we have one of those I need a cookie right now emergencies that sometimes come up. When we make a batch we often make two- just to keep that […]
Raspberry Tarragon Pavlova
Pavlova. You either know the name or you don’t. You either appreciate the early efforts it must have taken to be her or you mock the simplicity. Being a dancer since a very young age, I always had a small black and white postcard photo of Anna Pavlova in my bedroom…then on my bulletin board […]
Orange & Almond Mini Cakes with Anise Buttercream Frosting

Chocolate Maple S’more Cheesecake

Coffee & Triple Sec Creamsicles
It has been really hot here these last few days. Humid. Sticky. Icky. The kind of days that aren’t really good for girls with straightened hair that is really curly hair that tends to get frizzy in humidity. Let’s just say…it has been ponytail weather. And…if you’ve been reading…you realize it is almost August […]
Brownies with Panko Vanilla Sea Salt Crumble
Summer vacation has caught up with us. We woke up exhausted. EXHAUSTED. It was one of those days where the kids got to stay in their jammies all day (and by that I mean they will go to sleep in the same pair tonight…) and we did not leave the house once. Rare for us- […]
