You’re probably thinking to yourself, “My goodness. What an incredibly rustic looking cheesecake that is.” Well, that’s what twenty dollars worth of laziness looks like, my friends. You see, it’s that nice weathered wood that’s giving you that illusion of rusticalness (go away spell-check). I begged my sister to go out to the wood scrap … Read more
So remember last week when I posted on Facebook that I only had five more likes to 10,000? Well. While I was writing that, my brother Tay happened to be hovering over shoulder, as usual. As soon as the words, “five more likes away from 10,000” flew off my fingers onto the screen, he started … Read more
Yesterday I found myself walking to the store and buying a cake mix, a jar of maraschino cherries, and a bottle of Cherry 7-up. I didn’t realize what I was doing at first. I knew I was frantic for something to post, but why had the cherry and 7-up combo popped up in my head? … Read more
Well, I was feeling lazy about posting today again, but I shouldn’t make Samuel do it for me every week, even though he does such an awesome job. This week, I have some nice little chocolate bombs to introduce you to. They’re basically just little brownies stuffed with a fluffy Nutella cheesecake mousse. I don’t … Read more
Well, Samuel is at it again. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen lots of breads and bagels from Samuel before, but this time he has tried his hand at a dessert. I was pretty impressed.

If there’s one thing that I love as much as sweet potatoes (or dare I say… even more??) it’s cranberries. That’s why I am totally stealing this old post of mine from 2011 and remaking it. Partly also because those pictures were horrid and partly because I wanted to try them out gluten free because … Read more
My future (in 8 days!!) sister-in-law and I spent a couple of days in the last few weeks making about a couple hundred cupcakes for her wedding and freezing them. My poor, celiac mouth watered as I surveyed them all lined up like an army across my kitchen counters. “Aren’t there a few other gluten … Read more
Well, my friends, this has been quite a week for me. My toddler is getting three molars in right now, so we are experiencing terrible twos to the max. Diaper cream all over couch and both children? Check. Almost all leaves plucked from my favorite jade plant? Check. Bottle of honey unscrewed and dumped on … Read more
Okay, so here’s the situation… I was not actually ever going to post this. I had all these photos in my iPhoto album titled “Dumb” where I keep all my second rate photos. I go to “Dumb” once in a while when I’m really bored and edit all the photos that live there in the … Read more
Do you remember the ultimate moistness of Grandma’s famous banana bread muffins? How about the ultimate carrot cake muffins? Well, prepare yourself for a triple deja vu then, because the banana bread, the carrot cake, and this zucchini cake are all based on Grandma’s ultimate recipe. Perfected over the years to become the moist … Read more
