Raspberry Russian Imperial Stout Cheesecake

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 ...

Homemade White Tea Coconut Oil Bath Bombs

Tuesday, April 2, 2013

These are not food. I am not sorry. Bath bombs. Homemade. They have coconut oil in them, they smell incredible, and I’m smitten. I’m a bath girl. Not like a sit-in-the-tub-and-wash kind, but a relax-with-a-book-and-forgetchertroubles kind. It’s tough being a bath girl and a military wife at the same time, because moving so often means ...

Cinnamon-Almond Hot Cocoa

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

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 ...

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! You know how I told you guys that we don’t really celebrate V-day around here? Well, I was telling the truth, but you wanna know what I woke up to this morning?? I’ll tell you what. A Valentine’s Day gift. That’s right. The Hubster got up early, went downstairs, and set ...

Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Turtle Thumbprints

Monday, February 11, 2013

No lies here… I’m a chocolates for Valentine’s Day kinda girl. I know. I love an excuse for chocolate. Hard to believe, huh? We aren’t Valentine’s Day celebrators ’round these parts. Sometimes, we make homemade cards. Those are fun. Sometimes, I’ll make a slightly fancier dinner. But we don’t exchange gifts or anything like that. ...

Cinnamon Red Hots Shortbread Cookies

Monday, February 4, 2013

So, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl yesterday. In fact, I didn’t even know it was Super Bowl Sunday until right around lunchtime, when I saw something mentioned on Facebook. I’m sure it’s no great surprise that I’m not into sports. I mean, I dunno…I grew up watching football, cheering on the Colts. Basketball was ...

Cocoa Nib Almond Buttercrunch Toffee

Thursday, January 10, 2013

Yesterday, I had to deal with a worker person in my house. I’m very particular with worker people being in my house. It’s not worker people, in general, that I have a problem with…they are, in all the instances I’ve worked with them, hard working, honest, friendly, and kind. Usually, they tend to be a ...

Peppermint Week: Candy Cane Shortbread Bites

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

I lost all of my Christmas cards, you guys. Like, I can’t find them anywhere, even though I just had them the other day. How does that even happen?? It’s not like we live in a mess, or in clutter. We are top notch streamliners, what with all the moving and such. And yet, they’re ...

Gingerbread Hot Cocoa

Thursday, December 13, 2012

It’s embarrassing confession time. First of all, I think today is National Hot Cocoa Day. It might have been yesterday. Whatever. As far as I’m concerned, it’s every day, so I’m celebrating. More embarrassing, though, I’m about to reveal to you all how low my level of self control actually is. Prepare yourselves. It’s shockingly ...

Chai Cream

Monday, December 3, 2012

When the Hubster and I were at Walt Disney World back in October, we had dinner one night at Sanaa Restaurant, located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village. (Yes, I know I have yet to share photos of our Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party costumes. I’m sorry. I’ll get them up eventually.) Anyway. ...
