I’ve always been at battle with chocolate chip cookies. Many a-recipe tried, many a-disappointment felt. They were always too cakey or too crispy or too dry. As a frequent baker, I have always felt a twinge of shame knowing the best chocolate chip cookies I make come from a package. Yes, that’s right. A MIX. [...]

It’s been a very green and pink couple of weeks for me. First I made an adorably-whimsical birthday cake and followed that up with these little baby shower onesie cookies. I’m finally learning to plan ahead a bit so I can afford the time it takes to add many of the little details. I’d like [...]

I’ve known my friend Melissa since our freshman year of college. She’s a pretty fantastic person. Here are a few things about her: Melissa and I met because we were apparently the only two girls in our writing seminar who did sports. Turns out we did the same sport. Gymnastics. The first time I did [...]

Baking, baking, baking! I went crazy this past week. Ninety-five sugar cookies, 8 dozen cupcakes, and one adorable candy corn cake later, I’m still not done. I’m on a baking roll. But I’m not baking rolls. We had a harvest festival at work this past weekend. They have moon bounces, face painting, food, and pumpkins [...]

The weather is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, it’s fall! I can hardly believe it’s here. Some how this summer flew by, and it’s been a great one, but I’m excited for autumn. I’m from New England and really, autumn is our season. We have apple picking (in sweaters), hay rides, pumpkin picking, [...]

I am a rebel. I mean, I’m sure you all knew that already, but seriously, I am a culinary wild child. It’s ridiculous. How they even let me into the kitchen, I don’t know. And how I make it out…another one of life’s greatest mysteries. You want to know what I did to earn this [...]

This post is about my dentist. Yeah, I know the title says “Tiki Party Cookies”, but really, it’s about my dentist. I have a love/hate relationship with my dentist. I dread going to the dentist. On the way there, I get that nervous, butterflies in your stomach feeling, along with a small side of dread. [...]

I’m moving. I think I told you about it before. We had done our research online, perused the potential suitors, saw them in person, and thought we had found true love. Well, we were wrong. That first place was a tease. Instead we ended up somewhere better. It’s bigger, it’s cleaner, the landlords are awesome, [...]

I went house hunting this weekend. With the roomies being hitched and all, it seems like it’s time to start thinking about moving out. I’ve got a new roommate all lined up, so we went out this weekend to find our future abode. I haven’t gone to look for a house since I first moved [...]

My roommates got married last weekend. Yes roommateS. To each other. Although it would be quite the coincidence of they were getting married to different people. I didn’t always live with an engaged (and now married) couple though. When I first moved to my current place it was just me and one-half of the couple. [...]
