On Thursday morning my husband and I welcomed a new member to our family. Baby John was born at 4:41am, weighing 8 pounds 9 ounces, and measuring 20 1/2 inches long. He’s got a full head of dar...
Right now I’m lying on the couch, in between naps, willing our little boy to make his grand entrance. I’m not sure it’s working. While yesterday was productive, filled with grocery ...
In addition to all the other wonderful (and more motherly) things I’m looking forward to when our little one arrives— like that freshly bathed baby smell, the adorable coos and sighs, and the e...
There are things in life you assume you can never do. Maybe you tried once and failed, or maybe it’s something that’s always seemed out of reach so you’ve never even attempted. For ...
I remember the first time I tried Nutella. I was in college, and spending the summer in London on a study abroad. In addition to all sorts of delicious treats I enjoyed that summer like Hob Nobs and ...
Can you believe that Easter Sunday is only a few days away? It really crept up on me this year and I am completely unprepared. I have no idea what I’ll be baking or serving, and as someone who ...
After a disastrous and disappointing baking fail over the weekend I was looking for a little pick-me-up, something to get me back in the game. Cookies seemed like the logical choice. They’re ha...
Every spring I eagerly await the return of my garden from its wintry sleep. I don’t have a lot of perennial plants, but I love my daffodils, peonies, and irises, and I wish their blooms would l...

I can’t decide if this is the worst or greatest idea I have stumbled upon— a chocolate cake, baked in a mug, in a microwave, in just two minutes. You can go from hankering to satisfaction in a ...
This recipe isn’t revolutionary. In fact, it’s only a slight variation on the sugar cookie bars I’ve blogged about in the past. But if you haven’t had the pleasure of baking s...
Butter. Brown sugar. Heavy whipping cream. A heavy dose of vanilla extract. A splash of scotch whiskey. And pecans roasted in butter and salt. Are you drooling yet? These are the star ingredients of ...
It’s that time of year when I wish Spring would just hurry up and come. I want warm sunshine, I want to wear sandals, and I don’t want to scrape ice off of my car anymore. So how do I cop...
Over the weekend I turned the big 3-0. A big milestone, sure, but not as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be. I guess by the time you actually reach 30, it no longer seems so old and scary....

I have a very sweet tooth, as you probably already know if you’ve been a reader of this blog for long. But lately, my sweet tooth is in overdrive. I’m making cookies almost every other da...
Blogging has enriched my life in so many ways, but probably the most rewarding is the friendships that have resulted because of it. Through blogging and social media I’ve made friends with othe...

Blueberry muffins… too basic, too boring? I admit that when presented with an option of muffins, I usually choose something else. Maybe something chocolately or with a streusel topping. In fact...
I made you a pie. And not just any pie, a Red Velvet Pudding Pie. I was going to save it for Valentine’s Day but I just can’t wait any longer to show it to you. It’s got a chocolate...
Bubble baths and sweatpants. Cherry coke and waffle cut french fries. Dog kisses and long naps. Downton Abbey and Pinterest. These are all a few of my current favorite things. I can’t get enoug...
I’ve been feeling the breakfast vibe lately. That every lazy morning should be greeted with sizzling bacon, crisp hash browns, and fluffy pancakes drizzled with fragrant maple syrup. After I...
These peanut butter blossom cookies were an absolute, no-doubt-about-it, pregnancy craving. Ever since my Mom mentioned making them last week I couldn’t stop thinking about them. I wanted these...
In preparation for my husband’s birthday last week I handed him one of my favorite cookbooks, Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes, and told him to pick any cake he wanted and I would make...
Oh, doughnuts. You and I have had quite the history. I ignored you for the first half of my life, dismissed you entirely actually. I was not a fan. But somehow, and I think a new Krispie Kreme franch...
