How is it already Christmas week? Seriously… this year has gone by way too fast! I feel like I’ve barely set foot in the kitchen this year; let’s hope I do better in 2012 now that I’m kinda figuring out how to balance being a working mom & wife. I’ve been trying out my crock pot a [...]

I’ve been slow getting into the flow of baking with pumpkin this year. You see, its still hot in Texas! Not 100+ degrees hot anymore, Thank God! But it is going to get above 80 again today. Its Thanksgiving week; this weather is just cruel!! I’m ready for scarves and boots, and hot chocolate and [...]

A baby changes everything. I’ve always thought its a silly statement — I mean seriously, Sherlock? Of course a baby changes everything but in the best ways. It is such a blessing and honor to be a mom. I love it, more than anything! I’ve been neglecting this poor blog because when I’m not at [...]

I have to say, I really admire you working mommy bloggers who manage to keep up with your blogs. I’ve been back at work full-time for a few weeks now and I just can’t keep up! How do you do it? I miss blogging! I miss my blogosphere friends but by the time I get [...]

I’m happy to say that chocolate is my friend again. Somewhere near the end of my pregnancy chocolate and I became BFFs again. 8-ish months of wanting nothing to do with chocolate was just weird. I’m glad to be back in the world of chocolate lovers I’ve made these brownies several times now; they quickly [...]

Ranger Cookies

I’m becoming more and more convinced that this child in my belly is not mine. Wanting non-chocolatey baked goods is just flat out WEIRD. I’ve made these cookies about three times in the last month? Clearly this child is my husband’s and he has taken over my tastebuds. I’ve always been able to appreciate non-chocolate baked [...]

Lime Sugar Cookies

This baby in my belly can’t get enough of these. We all know I’m normally a chocolate-fiend. I can appreciate good non-chocolatey baked goods but craving non-chocolate goods is just odd. Really. I spent a week craving sugar cookies (again odd since I’ve pretty muchly not touched anything sweet in months) so I finally caved. [...]

Sorry I’ve been slow to post lately. I have a big backlog of photos & recipes but haven’t had time to edit/proof lately. The new job is keeping me really busy ( and life too)! Fall always keeps us on the road a bunch and weekends fill with family trips and visitors, which makes it [...]

I’ve been bad lately in terms of my eating habits. I’ve been eating everything in sight and not particularly in moderation. Ice cream? Scones? Cookies? Yes please! Have you noticed?? Lots of baking recipes lately! With all the guilt that’s come along with all that bad eating… I decided to make something healthy! Cookies! ha! [...]

I have an egg intolerance. It sucks. I didn’t always have an intolerance for eggs, but its developed over the last few years. I’ve been tested and I’m not allergic so I can eat eggs but its not good. I feel sick for hours/days depending upon the quantity. The exception seems to be baked goods [...]

Project Pastry Queen has officially commenced with week two of recipe posting! This recipe was my first pick for our little project; I’ve had my eye on this recipe forever. I’d love to make actual fried pies but I’ve never fried anything at home so I opted for the baked version. Not such a bad “alternative” [...]

I recently posted a quick poll on our Facebook fan page to see what kind of ice cream recipes y’all wanted to see on the blog. Chocolate Peanut Butter won but Strawberry Cheesecake didn’t fall far behind. Cheesecake also happens to be hubby’s favorite dessert so this ice cream was a natural choice in our [...]

Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze

I really don’t know when I started liking lemon. I used to say I only liked things that were mildly lemony but I hardly think that’s the case anymore. It all started with Ina’s fabulously Lemon Yogurt Cake. These cookies actually remind me of that cake a lot. These are lemony delicious. The ricotta makes [...]

That recipe/post will come another day. For now, lets talk chocolate peanut buttery goodness. I love chocolate. Love, love, love. [...]

I’ve been doing some baking recently with butter! I know, strange way to start a post but this really is exciting for me. The last year has been so full of whole wheat, low fat baking goodies that its nice to be baking occassionally with the good stuff. Weight watchers has been good to me. I haven’t [...]

Dorie’s Perfection Pound Cake

I forgot how much I loved butter until I made this pound cake. haha. But really, I haven’t made anything with this much butter in probably well over a year. I’m constantly cutting fat in recipes and I never bake anything that requires much more than one stick of butter, simply because I worked too [...]
