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 ...

Chocolate Cherry Cola Whoopie Pies

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

You will read no spoilers here. Please do not share any. Thank you!!! I watched the finale for Downton Abbey (season 3) yesterday. Finally. I didn’t watch it for a whole extra week, and somehow, I managed to sit down in all the glory of spoiler-free blissful ignorance. I hate spoilers! I’m River Song, when ...

Cinnamon Sugar Nutella-filled Soft Pretzel Bites

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

Happy World Nutella Day! Seriously, whoever decided to make this day happen is pretty much the smartest person who ever lived. To celebrate, I made soft pretzels. That I filled with Nutella. And topped with butter and cinnamon-sugar. Then I ate too many, woke up, and had the rest for breakfast. I love my job....

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 ...

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 ...

Perfectly Pinterest: Melted Snowman Lollipops

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

I’m not sure I understand Elf on the Shelf. I mean, I think it’s adorable. From what I gather, the little fella, or gal, pops in to keep an eye on kiddos, and make sure they’re staying outta trouble, yes? The elves report back to the Big Man himself on whether the kids are being ...

Pumpkin Gingerbread Muffins

Friday, November 23, 2012

It’s Black Friday today. Here, in the U.S. Stupid, stupid Black Friday. You may recall that I ventured out on Black Friday last year. I was in Minnesota, and things were pretty tame; nothing as wild as I anticipated. This year, though, I’m in Oregon, and all signs point to there being high levels of ...

Sparkling Apple Cider Slushies

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

As you know, this week I’m embarking on all sorts of childlike behavior at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Walt Disney World. All of my excitement has made me nostalgic for the things that made me happy when I was a little girl, and with Fall in full swing, I’ve been thinking a ...

Oatmeal-Pumpkin Spiced Maple Cream Pies

Tuesday, September 11, 2012

These cookies gave me writer’s block. Really. I had this great idea to make them. I made them. They were delicious. I ate them. Then, I sat down to write this post. After staring at my keyboard for way too long, without having a single thought, besides how much I just wanna go eat another ...

Doctor Who: Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Jello in a Jar

Friday, August 31, 2012

I’m keeping it geeky today, because when your favorite TV show is premiering, you have to get back to your roots and share your love of all things Who. As I told you on Tuesday, the new season of Doctor Who premieres tomorrow (Saturday…September 1st…2012). Honestly, people, if you don’t already know this, have your ...
