Cookie Trends (Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze)

December 4, 2010

I read an article awhile back that in 2011, Pie was going to be the new Cupcake. You can expect the cupcake trend to fade, but anticipate that Pies, in all flavors, shapes and sizes, will be peaking in 2011. I love pie… I truly do, but considering that I cannot make a pretty pie [...]

Traditions? What Traditions? {Recipe: Baked Sweet Potato Fries}

A 7th Birthday (Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake)

One bite was all it took for me to be sitting around our dining room table in my childhood home, nylons still on my feet, shoes off, my parents nagging at me that I’m ruining my nylons because I am not wearing shoes… “Do you know how much nylons cost? You are running around the [...]

October 19, 2010

Since I am in the mood for confessions, I wanted to share another one with you. First of all, I love Miracle Whip. That has nothing to do with the confession I am about to make…I just wanted to clear the air with that first. My favorite pumpkin muffin is derived from a cake mix. [...]

A few weeks ago, after returning from my trip to New York (which I will blog about soon!) my husband said, “You know… I feel like you are a part of this whole other life that I just don’t even get.” He was referring to the blogging life. How many of you have experienced this [...]

Mushysqushy Bananas (Recipe: Baked Banana Crumble)

September 17, 2010

Trying to decode the magic formula for the number of bananas to buy has always been a mystery for me. When I bring bananas home from the store, one of two things will happen: The bananas are gobbled up, that very day, and we are out of bananas for the rest of the week The [...]

My Favorite Things (Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies)

August 2, 2010

I have a lot of things that are my favorite. Some things will be forever favorites while other things will be favorites until the next best thing comes along. My favorite pen to write with is a Jonathan Adler teal metal pen, followed closely by fine point Sharpies. My favorite hair product is Chi Silk [...]

Warning…there is a monster at the end of this blog post… One of my favorite books as a child was The Monster at the End of This Book by Jon Stone and illustrated by Mike Smollin. Do any of you remember that book? Furry, lovable, Grover from Sesame Street reads the front cover of the [...]
