Our neighbors invited us over this past weekend for dinner after I had my wisdom teeth taking out (:(). It was great not to have to think about cooking dinner especially when I couldn’t even eat! Well, even though I wasn’t feeling up to cooking, Trevor didn’t want to go empty handed. So, we (and […]
If you guys have been following me for a while, you know Trev and I bake every weekend. This past weekend, we were swimming a lot and wanted to have something that was a quick and easy grab and eat kind of snack. Immediately, Trevor said scones. Now, if it were me, I would have […]
Each year for Mother’s Day, Trevor & the girls bake me something sweet (like these, this, or this). This year, I wanted something super decadent – a salty and sweet pie. So what would make the Mother’s Day pie list this year? How about a Double Strawberry Pretzel Pie – a little bit of pretzel, […]
A few days ago, it was Amelia’s friend Bryn’s 5th birthday. Any birthday in quarantine is hard, so we wanted to make it special by making her some yummy cupcakes. You know how much I love my Cakes cookbook by Melissa Ben-Ishay (evident by all of these cakes I’ve made over the years) so I […]
With this Corona quarantine now going on nearly 2 months, we’ve learned how to avoid going to the grocery stores that often. Many times it means we’ve run out of snacks or desserts before it’s time to go shopping again. So, we’ve leaned more towards baking new things instead of buying. Let me tell you, […]
A few weeks ago, Corona hit really hard here in Florida so everyone was heavily stocking up on food supplies. I was able to find most things but one thing I couldn’t find was boxed brownie mix. Apparently, that’s one thing (along with toilet paper….) that people must have during a pandemic! Well, no worries. […]
Like most families recently, I’ve had to start virtually/homeschooling Amelia and we’ve definitely need some new activities to keep busy at home. And, even though Matilda isn’t in school yet, she needs just as much stimulation as Amelia, too. Sometimes, even more… And since Amelia goes to a very hands on, play-based school, I wanted […]
Every have one of those nights where you’re just cravvvvinnnggg something crunchy, salty, creamy, chocolatey and just good (or bad, depending on how you look at it)?! Well friends, tonight is that night for me. I usually keep puffed pastry in the freezer for a quick dinner or dessert and I’m so glad I did. […]
Many years ago, about 10, I went traveling in Europe and ended up spending some unexpected time in Paris. To my surprise, I loved many things about Paris, particularly the french onion soup. I ended up eating it every day and anywhere I could. That’s how addicting it was! To this day, I’ve never been […]
Amelia wanted ice cream today, like most days. The problem was I didn’t have time to go to the store to get some. But, I did have the ingredients to make some and so after a quick mix and some freezing time, we had sweet and creamy vanilla ice creamy. I will emphasize this is […]
