My mother grew up in Arizona. It doesn’t rain much there. A rainy day was pretty much a national holiday around her house and her mother celebrated by making fudge. I grew up in Texas. It doesn’t rain much there either so the holiday status was in full effect and Mom carried on Noni’s tradition […]
happy december! I had this brilliant idea to have 25 Days of Christmas (side story: I’m drinking coffee while writing this and then suddenly coffee started coming out of the back of the (brand-new) computer…I guess I spilled some? No idea. Hopefully computers like coffee. Otherwise it’ll be back to the stone age for me. […]
Last week I had a rough, tear-filled day because I thought everyone had forgotten my birthday. (True story) I try not to make a big deal out of birthdays to avoid the inevitable disappointment when I’ve accidentally discovered the not-so-cleverly hidden gifts (Husband can vouch for me: I don’t snoop at all, everyone else is […]
I have a love/hate relationship with food. I love to make it but hate to eat it. Well that’s not exactly true; I love to eat things that my stomach hates. I hate eating things that my stomach loves. I also dont like cooking for just me so when I’m left to fend for myself […]
Happy Memorial Day, America. The older I get, the more I appreciate our country and those who have sacrificed everything for us. Thank you. This is one of my favorite holidays. I love the patriotism and am humbled that our entire nation takes a day off to say “thanks”. I also love that it’s the […]
I wanted to hold off on this post for a few days so that I don’t overwhelm your inboxes and your minds with deliciousness but I couldn’t resist. It has been a while since a gluten-free goodie made its appearance and I have a lot of craziness starting today so my schedule will be effectively […]
Remember how I promised to give you the recipe for my cinnamon toffee scones? Ya, it’s been a while, but I’m finally getting around to it. I’m currently somewhere over Arizona and let me tell you, plane rides are great for getting stuff done. I can’t go anywhere, or be distracted by ducks or laundry […]
It’s that time of the week where I happily forget I have an actual job and spend all day drinking in the kitchen and dreaming of having my own bakery. Thanks to Pinterest, I found Betty Crocker’s website of cupcake heaven. That woman is amazing. I wish I were half that creative and awesome. The […]
I’ve been dreaming all week of creating a raspberry-filled lemonade cupcake. Literally dreaming. Moist, light, lemon-y cake with a thin fresh raspberry filling, topped with a pink lemon mousse. Almost more of a mini layer cake than a cupcake. I’m drooling just thinking about it. Today I found out about this thing called an evening. […]
These amazing, gluten-free cookies remind me of that part in Despicable Me where Edith asks Dr. Nefario if she can drink a potion and he says: “Do you want to explode?!” I feel like that disclaimer should be given to these cookies. It’s almost like just eating a spoonful of peanut butter from the jar. […]
