Mickey Mouse Easter Basket Cookies

Monday, March 25, 2013

Sixteen years ago today, my daddy passed away. It was on a Tuesday, instead of Monday, but Easter was that Sunday, just like it is this year. Easter is inextricably linked to my family’s loss that year, but that doesn’t take the joy out of the day for any of us, and this year, I’m ...

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 ...

Does anybody else feel like March is the boringest month ever? I mean, unless your birthday is in March. Then, you probably like it.

Uh…so it’s December 21st. And the world continues to turn. How many people are feeling sheepish today? I’m not, personally. I mean, really? Aztecs (or Mayans…oops) predict the Apocalypse?

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 ...

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 ...
