Ok so pies are not my jam. Well wait. I like pies. I like to eat pies. I like to make pies. Pies stress me out though. I get Dough Anxiety. It’s a registered thing in the uh DSM-5. For real. (Ok, don’t dig too deep.) No doubt many of us have Dough Anxiety. […]
Suddenly it seems I have a mountain of things I feel the need to share with you Right.Now. Soooo many things! How do I pick?! I’m all a’-tizzy, what to do?! And I apologize, there’s not much healthy about these. shrug I suspect you’ll forgive me. These are hands down, probably the most insane thing […]
What do I want to do when it’s ninety five degrees outside with a heat index of one hundred? Bake. I’m rolling my eyes too. It’s hot! Stupid hot. And I’m baking! Whaaaat am I thinking?! Weirdo is right. But this is a must, a must-bake, an annual requirement I cheerfully fulfill. It’s […]
I love these scones. Love love love love love. And love is probably an understatement. Is this the best scone recipe out in the world? Um. I dunno actually as I made these once and I have never made any other, that’s how much I love them. Which is funny too as I have about […]
Yeah I know. It’s a mouthful, Salted Pretzel Ice Cream in a Chocolate Cake Crumb Pie Crust. I mean hey, what can I say, it was Mother’s Day?! The bonus of today’s efforts is that you can use either recipe separately. Make the ice cream and enjoy simply in a dish. With hot fudge and […]

I know you don’t like s’mores.” He shrugs dejectedly. “I don’t get it babe, how do you not like s’mores?” Really, I don’t get it. I have […]
How…. How did…. How did I get this far in life and not know such a thing existed? An outrageous gi-gundo cinnamon roll?! Holy cats and dogs, people. Ok it is a bit embarrassing, this thing. In its over the top-ness. It’s….it is a bit nuts. Ok probably a lot nuts. Ok way nuts. But […]
One fine evening, I was chatting with our pal Breezy and she mentioned her birthday was fast approaching. Ahhhh, birthdays. Right?! When you’re eight or so, fan-tab-u-lous!! Nothing much better than a birthday and a cake or a pie and a party and woo hoo! When you’re ahem, older, ehhh, let’s not talk […]
I love ice cream. We both do, Mike and I. Any time of year. Minus ten outside, bowl of ice cream please. We impatiently await Tastee Freez aka The Freeze reopening in spring and joy of joys, hearing the soft serve ice cream truck clattering down our block that first really warm day….ah yes. Ice […]
