blueberry muffins {with toasted coconut}
Guess what? 2.0 has admitted that it is possible that an iPhone isn’t the worst purchase I could ever make. That’s basically a stamp of approval in my books. AND he hardly rolled his eyes when he said it mumbled it. I think his change of heart has come about because: I’ve talked about nothing…
Read Morehot mess chocolate cake
Yesterday, I went to the college where I will be starting baking school in the fall. I received an email last week asking if I’d like to attend an information session entitled: Are You Ready For College? Like J-Lo, I go hard or go home, so I immediately signed up for the session. Sure, I’m…
Read Moresugar cookies and a sort of love letter
Dear 2.0, I love you. I love you right hard like. I love you in a way that squeezes you tight and refuses to let go. Even if you squirm a lot. And you might, on occasion, wonder how you landed this here piece of awesome. But guess what? You’re kind of awesome too. For…

Lately, 2.0 and I hardly get to see one another. We are like ships passing in the night. We are both wrapped up in our jobs and drudgery of the day to day. He leaves early in the morning for work, and I arrive home when he’s ready for bed. He works weekdays, and I…
Read Moreseasoned flour {homemade shake ‘n bake}
See? I’m not trying to ruin you. I get that your inferior bodies can’t handle the massive quantities of butter and sugar that this here finely tuned machine can. So this one’s for you; no sugar, no caramel. You can munch on a chicken leg, scarf back some baby carrots, and feel pretty good about yourself.…

I’d like to start by thanking all of you for your kind comments and emails regarding my baking school news. It means more to me than I can express without getting mega sappy on ya. I’m feeling more and more excited for September, and maybe even a little braver. Also, I’d like to thank you…

. . . I want a smartphone. This is hard to admit, because 2.0 and I pride ourselves on being uncool. We love to roll our eyes at people who feel the need to keep up with trends. Because we are better than that. We don’t wear labels. We don’t buy fancy stuff. We wear…

Hello, friends. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve slowed down on my posts a little. Not because I don’t want to be here; quite the opposite, actually. I love you in a way that makes other people very uncomfortable. But I’m having a wee problem with writer’s block. Well, not writer’s block exactly.…
Read Morerosemary cornmeal crackers
. . . Question: why haven’t I been making crackers? Huh? Why have I wasted so much time eating crackers from a box when I could be eating crackers from my own oven? Redonkulous. Another question: do you have any comprehension of how much time I would save in my weekly routine if I just…
Read Morecaramilk brownies
How’s it going, friend? You aren’t on a diet are you? Because I made these brownies for you. And me. Okay, I made them mostly for me. I made these brownies because returning to work last week was… stressful. Wanna know what I think of January so far? I kinda think it sucks donkey balls. But…
