Easy Mother’s Day Breakfast: Chocolate Butterscotch Croissants

Monday, May 6, 2013

You know what are not nice? Geese. When I was probably 14 or so, I didn’t know they were so territorial. There was a flock of them…a gaggle? Anyway, a lot of them on the hillside by the pool at the church camp I attended. I was all, “Heh heh. Watch this.” I ran at ...

Monday, April 29, 2013

The Hubster had a birthday last week. It wasn’t like a big milestone birthday or anything, although…it was an elevensies birthday. Those are always fun. We both had elevensies birthdays this year. Anyway, it wasn’t a milestone, but since he was still overseas for his birthday last year, I was super excited to make the ...

Snickerbrookies: Fudge Brownie Snickerdoodle Bars

Monday, April 22, 2013

When it comes to brownies, there are two camps: Edges vs. Middles. Most people fall into one or the other. If you don’t, I admire your adaptability. I am firmly entrenched in the Middles camp. While the edges have their admirable qualities, nothing outweighs the soft and fudgy, even sometimes gooey, texture of the middles ...

Chocolate-Swirl Cinnamon Streusel Coffeecake

Friday, March 22, 2013

I went to the dentist yesterday. I had a bunch of stupid shots and I got a wisdom tooth extracted. There was nothing fun about it, and I’m being a big, spoiled baby today, because I can. I never whine, I’m never a brat when I’m sick, and I never make anyone take care of ...

If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, you may have noticed that I was a little quieter over the last few days than usual. It’s because of sheer exhaustion. You guys just don’t even know. My house wants me to be crazy. Last night, I got my first good night’s sleep in about four ...

Easy Mint Chocolate Cream

Saturday, March 16, 2013

I really tried to avoid making anything minty for St. Patty’s Day this year, because there’s SO MUCH mint out there, and because, really…what does mint have to do with St. Patrick’s Day? Nothing. But all things mint tend to also be green, and St. Pat’s is all about the green. Anyway. I tried to ...

You know how when it’s three o’clock in the morning, and you’re sound asleep, and your significant other coughs right in your face? You know you do. We all hate it. Yeah, well, now make it be your dog. Not. Cool. Loki decided that the middle of the night last night was the right time ...
