I am definitely the type of person who has a hard time relinquishing control. You’ll find me asking my husband to do something for me, and I will ultimately take over because he’s doing it wrong. That, of course, translates into how I operate in the kitchen. But if my 3 year old daughter gets … Continue reading Baking With My 3 Year Old (And a Muffin Recipe!)

Days of Baking
I think it’s no surprise that if you find me in my house for long periods of time, I’ll definitely be searching my pantry to see what I can bake with. It kind of feels like Iron Chef where I have to find the main ingredient and then work around that. Some of the main … Continue reading Days of Baking

There really is no gray area when it comes to coconut. Thankfully I surround myself with only the best people. And those people love coconut. … Continue reading Almond Joy-Inspired Cupcakes
Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
Happy Memorial Day! May we never forget those who gave their lives for our freedom. There really is nothing more satisfying than a delicious, right-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookie. I had a surplus of eggs and decided to whip up a favorite of David's (without the nuts of course). I decided to reference one of my … Continue reading Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies
