Need vs. Want. Sometimes I have a hard time differentiating between the two. Pinterest doesn’t help. Overall though, I’d like to say I’m fairly practical. I usually stick to what I need – like these nachos. I need. You need these too. In case you need justification: Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner… Speaking [Read more >>]
Sometimes I have a hard time focusing on one thing for a long period of time. I’ll be writing a blog post and go to check who commented on my last status update, then I remember an email I need to respond to, then I just need to check the weather… you know how it [Read more >>]
Funny story about how THESE eggs came about. What’s also funny is how your brain thinks as a blogger/recipe developer… A commercial for Rice Krispies came on for these cute little rice krispy treats with little candies hidden inside. Right away I thought – chocolate easter eggs! Hollow ones to stuff candy, money, or whatever you want [Read more >>]
Before we get to the good stuff I wanted to show you a little somethin’… This is what I came in to work to find on my desk: The Wall Street Journal. An article on, “How Colleagues Make You Fat“. A sticky note pointing to said article with the words, “with cake balls” written on [Read more >>]
A few things I’m loving right now: My new Kitchen Aid mixer that I got for $130 off! Meyer Lemons – if you haven’t, you need to. These cake bites! I’ve been so excited to show you these… I have been waiting since January to use these little sour candy things (aka rainbows) I found at Target in the dollar section. [Read more >>]
I’m not Irish – nor do I really get into the corned beef thing. But I’ll totally make you green cake bites, green lattes, and these adorable shamrock pretzels that I found on Sun Scholars. She kept the little holes in the pretzels open but I went ahead and double dipped to completely cover these once [Read more >>]
I’ve seen so many cute treats for Valentine’s Day – from cake pops and cookies, to elaborate cakes. But I needed something NOW. Something that I could whip up fast that will stay fresh for at least a couple days and something that will hold up when being shipped in mini flower pots… Just stick with me, it will all make sense.

A lot of football games have been on lately. Really “important” games. Of course neither the Broncos nor the (ahem) Vikings are playing anymore. So, naturally, I’ve been rooting for San Francisco. Why?! Because I like California. And this is how I pick who to cheer for. Silly, I know. But now we’re down to Giants and Patriots… what to [Read more >>]
I decided to name these ‘Love Bites’ for one reason and one reason only. They can be called Love Bites as in, a small delectable treat made with love. Or Love Bites as in, love blows, stinks, sucks, etc. And I find this sorta funny. Sorta? Well, especially for you anti-valentine’s people. I happen to love [Read more >>]
I made these last year for Valentine’s Day and decided they needed a post of their own. They are so dang cute and although I made them for Valentine’s – they are universal and customizable. Here I had thought that I had came up with an awesome, original idea (if there is such a thing)! [Read more >>]
