The heat came on in my house this morning. We have one of those automatic systems where you set the temperature, and it’ll either turn on the heat or the A/C to maintain it, as needed. The heat came on this morning. What the what, Oregon?! It’s July 24th! <—Not really. It’s August 24th. Way ...

Perfectly Pinterested Perfect Thanksgiving Dinner: Caramel Filled Brownies and Beautiful, Easy Mums

Sunday, November 20, 2011

I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of mums laid out ...

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

I’m sure you’ve all noticed how much I’ve been babbling about Starbucks recently. With my little visit to the States, I’ve been splurging and enjoying yummy chai lattes and salted caramel mocha frappuccinos whenever I can, but my Starbucks fund is more or less depleted.

Butter Biscuit Mocha Brownies

Thursday, April 7, 2011

I’ve decided to seek out solace in chocolate. I only have two and half days until the hubster comes home from being abroad for training for over a month, and I’m using chocolate as the balm that keeps me from cracking. I’m so grateful to be fortunate enough to have him coming home when so ...

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.
