Hi all! I am taking a mini, teeny, tiny hiatus from my blog. I will be back sometime in June with tons of fun summer treats & recipes! Reason for said hiatus is that I recently moved to Milwaukee...
A good, dense brownie is one of my favorite treats. A good, dense brownie paired with alcohol? Even better. I made these brownies for St. Patrick’s Day, but haven’t gotten around to blogg...
I don’t know about you, but it PAINS me to buy vanilla extract at the grocery store. A teeny tiny little bottle for such an outrageous price. If you bake a lot (which I’m guessing you do ...
Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite cereal as a kid. Given my aversion to milk, I don’t eat much cereal anymore… but I *do* love cinnamon! The other great thing about Cinnamon Toast Cru...
I will waste no time with this: I hate banana bread. Then why did I make it?! I do LOVE bananas. I, too, think it’s weird that I love bananas but hate the fruit in bread form. But I always have...
Oh, peanut butter and Nutella. I would eat both of these things out of the jar without abandon if I had the metabolism of a teenager. But I don’t. [never did, really!] I exercise extreme RESTRA...
I think that there are some foods that are universally nostalgic for everyone. Pink and white animal cookies have to be included on that list. I always used to think that the pink cookies tasted diff...
Who remembers Cosmic Brownies from the lunchboxes of their youth? I do! Little Debbie always makes such delicious treats (everything in moderation, even prepackaged junk food, is alright). I found a ...
Nutella, you are perfect. If I had a faster metabolism, I would eat Nutella straight out of the jar without abandon. Nutella in fudge form? Taste bud explosion. Nutella fudge paired with sea salt? Ta...

Cuuuuuuute overload! I think these are some of the cutest cookies I’ve made. Much like Valentine conversation hearts, I have a love/hate relationship with Peeps. They are adorable and a staple ...
One of my more OCD characteristics is that I MUST dye Easter eggs every year. I’m not Christian and don’t really do Easter (save for the Cadbury mini eggs), but I MUST DYE EGGS! I think it’s ju...
I saw a photo on Pinterest that inspired me to make these cupcakes. Aren’t they adorable? Little bunnies! Easter is one of my least favorite holidays (it doesn’t mean much to me except pa...
A friend of mine (hi, Alyssa!) asked me to make her mother a birthday cake. Her mom was turning fortysomething and LOVES Harley Davidson motorcycles. Awesome! I love a good challenge, but I also knew...
Spring is here and Easter is a few weeks away! I’ve never been shy about the fact that I am really not a fan of carrot cake. But this carrot cake kind of changed my mind. It was downright delic...
Spring is such a pretty time of the year. Pastel colors are back in fashion, Easter candy lines the store shelves, and the weather is finally becoming a-m-a-z-i-n-g. [Have I mentioned that Wisconsin ...
It’s Thursday! Parks & Rec day! I’m not sure if tonight’s episode is new or if it’s a re-run. How many of you are fans of the show? One of my favorite episodes is the one...
Here are my suggestions for a yummy St. Patrick’s Day! A celebration of all things green and/or Irish.. 1. Pot O’ Gold Cupcakes 2. Three Layer Mint Brownies 3. Rainbow Cupcakes 4. Mint Ch...
My obsession with ombre continues. You may remember that I made a pink ombre cake for Valentine’s Day. This cake is similar, but I used a box mix this time! You can do ombre with any color R...
I made cookies very similar to these last year. But since I’ve become more familiar with royal icing, I decided to make these again — this time decorating them with royal icing. I bought ...
The Oreo turns 100 today! The company was founded on March 6, 1912 in New York City. A little Oreo trivia, courtesy of Wikipedia: The cookie was developed and produced by Nabisco at its Chelsea facto...
Another super simple cupcake idea for you all! Be sure that you enjoy eating Lucky Charms for breakfast, because you’ll have plenty of extra cereal after you make these. I think most of you wil...
March is here! Spring will officially arrive later this month and all of you with Irish blood cursing through your veins will get to celebrate on the 17th. These cupcakes are EASY to make. If you are...
It’s February 29th! Happy Leap Year! Let’s celebrate this once-every-four year occurrence with a giant donut cake. I bought these cake pans at Williams-Sonoma a few years ago and decided ...
Oh, monkey bread, you are perfect. Oooey, gooey, warm, doughy… just perfect. And monkey bread is easy to make! Throw a bunch of stuff in a bundt pan, bake, and you’re done. Anyone know wh...
Mardi Gras is next week! Get those beads out and fire up the stove to make some jambalaya! A few years ago I made a big, traditional king cake. This year, I wanted something more simple. Pinterest po...
Valentine’s Day is on Tuesday! Here’s an updated collection of my recommended Valentine’s Day recipes. XOXO. 1. Tootsie Roll Fudge 2. Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes 3. Pink Ombre Cak...
I usually plan for (and make) holiday treats well in advance — like, months in advance. Welcome to the life of a food blogger! Back in December when I was planning out my projects for Valentine...
I love a good black & white cookie. They’re one of my favorites – the perfect combination of chocolate and vanilla, with a hint of lemon. But these black & white hearts aren’...
Super Bowl Sunday is a few days away! I don’t know if I’ll watch this year — as it will be a meeting of the two worst teams in the NFL and the two most obnoxious fan bases in all of...
