I hope you all had a lovely Memorial Day weekend! Ours was pretty relaxing and the weather was beautiful, perfect for working at the farmer’s market, spending time with each other and with frie...
First of all, I just want to say how touched I am from reading all of your comments on my post last week in which I announced the official launch of my new business, Sugarcrafter Sweets. It means mor...
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a photo I posted over the weekend of a farmers market stand selling jams and jellies. Well, I am very excited to announce that that stand is MY stand!...
Remember that mac & beer cheese that I mentioned we had at Stone Brewery during our stay in San Diego? And how I promised I’d be recreating it at home? Well, this is its moment of pure, che...

Over the past year as a Keurig K-Cup Ambassador, I’ve immensely enjoyed sharing my coffee addiction with you as well as many of the different k-cup portion packs available. So today, you can im...
It seems that my offer went over well with Mother Nature…even though it’s still on the chilly side out there, there’s been no more snow to speak of, and for that I am very thankful....
Dear Mother Nature, I’m not really sure what’s going on out there, but in case you forgot, it’s supposed to be spring. I was not supposed to wake up and see this. Yes, I realize tha...
I have a little problem, and it’s called constantly missing lunch. I’m always too wrapped up in getting things on my to-do list done when I realize my stomach is growling, and by then it&...
I meant to share these right before the weekend, but I can’t wait any longer. You see, I made these waffles back in February – yikes! – upon our return from San Diego. I couldn̵...
Though we definitely had plenty of Easter desserts – including these cookies, frosted sugar cookies that my mom made, strawberry charlotte that my mother-in-law made, and a banana cream pie, I ...
I hope you all had a very happy Easter! We definitely did, especially since we changed things up this year and instead of our traditional Easter dinner, we did it up Polish-style. We had fresh kielba...
As promised, today I’m sharing another recipe that’s perfect for Easter. Since the 7-layer cookies I made for Christmas were such a huge success, I decided that I just had to “sprin...
Anyone else out there hosting Easter this year? We host every year, and while it’s always a lot of fun, it’s also a bit of work, too. Right now I seem to have gotten behind on my to-do li...
While we were in San Diego, I fell in love with a soup & salad bar called Souplantation. It was one of my favorite places to visit for lunch, and now that we’re back on the East coast, I fi...
Congratulations to lucky number 31 – Joanna! You answered all of the questions correctly, so you are the winner of the prize pack containing 2 lovely mugs and 2 boxes of k-cup portion packs featuring...
I think this may have been the easiest pie I’ve ever made. Adapted from my no-bake SunButter cream pie, the biggest change (aside from swapping out the SunButter for Biscoff spread, of course) ...
There’s nothing quite like a soothing, hot cup of tea. While I normally drink coffee in the morning and therefore tend to enjoy my tea in the afternoon or at the end of the day as I’m win...
Happy first day of spring! Although it has felt more like summer around here the past few days with temperatures in the low 70s, I am certainly not complaining. I love being able to open all the wind...
I’m not normally a huge fan of mint, but every spring when the Shamrock Shake advertisements begin flooding in, I find myself craving one. Fortunately, they are incredibly easy to whip up at ho...
When we visited San Diego, I had a list of places I wanted to visit, and one of them was the Japanese Friendship Garden. In college, I did my Language Arts Concentration in the Japanese language, and...
It may not officially be spring yet – but with temperatures in the 50s around here, it definitely feels like spring has sprung. Even yesterday, while taking a long walk with a good friend, I sa...
Ever since we got back from San Diego, I’ve been obsessed with baking, even more so than usual…I think being without an oven for three weeks made me appreciate mine all the more! This pas...
Today is one of those dreary, rainy days where I just want to stay inside and bake. Coffee cake is perfect for those days, and it’s one of my favorite things to make for breakfast or brunch. It...
Recently I’ve been craving grilled food. In fact, just a couple nights ago I made a meal we frequently have in the summer – hot dogs on the grill with sautéed peppers and onions, homemade...
Hey all! Today I’m over at Jen’s blog, My Kitchen Addiction, doing a fun little interview for her Friday Favorites series! Head on over and check it out, and have a great Friday! © Sugarc...
Ever since Thanksgiving when I made a banana cream pie for my dad, I’ve had my mind on a version that includes chocolate since I love the chocolate-banana combo, especially in smoothies. I adap...
As promised, I’m back from my vacation! And, the first thing I want to do is give a huge THANK YOU to all of my lovely guest posters. Each one of their posts had me drooling and wishing I could...
As I mentioned before, I’m taking a little vacation from blogging – don’t worry, I’ll be back! – but in the meantime, some of my favorite bloggers are stepping in to take the reins while I’m away. To...
