Peanut Butter Ice Cream and Mini Fluffernutter Sundaes

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

It’s month three of my resolution to make a new ice cream every month this year, and so far, so very, very good! To be honest, I didn’t think I’d do very good sticking to this (I know it’s only month three, but I also know me…), but it’s been really fun and easy. Admittedly, ...

Black and White Cookies

Monday, March 28, 2011

Back in 2003, I had the good fortune to live in New York City for two awesome years. If you’ve never been, it really is one of the most amazing cities in the world. One of the many great things about NY is the huge variety of food and drink available to you. In some ...

Easy, Zesty Cranberry Orange Muffins

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Recently, I wanted to make some muffins for breakfast, but found myself low on supplies. I had all of the ingredients to make a basic muffin, but not much by way of flavors for it. As I searched and perused what I did have, nothing sounded good. Of course I had chocolate chips, but I ...

Fat, Happy Owl Fondant Tutorial

Monday, March 21, 2011

You may remember that last month I celebrated my birthday. And this was my cake. I still love this cake. I love that it was actually a very easy cake to decorate, but it still looks lovely. Most of all, though, I love that fat little owl on top. I love him so much that ...

For Japan With Love

Thursday, March 17, 2011

The images of loss and devastation in Japan have left me speechless. The utter tragedy of the situation and the challenge of moving forward and rebuilding is incomprehensible. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to Japan during this crisis. There’s so much needed, and so much needing to be done, that I have felt ...

End of the Rainbow Cupcakes

Wednesday, March 16, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, we were suffering from a bit of a mini drought. It was kind of nice because it was while my sis was here, so we were able to do lots of things outdoors, but it’s also scary. The island has very, very limited fresh water supply, so the majority of ...

I have a little something for you today…if you want it. :) You may have noticed tiny little banners in the background of the photos of my Irish Coffee Toffee yesterday. Yep. Those banners. I made them just for St. Patrick’s Day. When they were done, I loved them so much that I wanted to ...

Irish Coffee Toffee

Monday, March 14, 2011

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well, almost. Happy early St. Patrick’s Day! We don’t usually have big St. Pat’s celebrations at my house. Usually, the day amounts to each of us making sure that we’re sporting a bit of green, me baking something “Irish-ish” (typically always soda bread), and as much pinching as we can get ...

Snickers Cupcakes

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

Yesterday, on my personal Facebook page, I asked my friends, on a whim, what their favorite candy is. I loved reading all of the answers. Some were very surprising, and most surprising of all was that everyone said something different. I’m a huge candy person…shocking, right? I mean, it’s a little obvious that I have ...
