May I call you Pumpkin, Honey, Baby, Doll, Love, Precious, Sweetie, Suga…? I just got home from North Carolina where I attended a little show. Those sweet nothings above – those were my petnames for the duration of my trip in NC. The women there were sooo warm and friendly. Gotta love that oh-so-sweet southern twang. The accent makes it [Read more >>]

It’s just about time to start posting fall inspired recipes and then umm, that season that follows fall. Yikes. Let’s not talk about that yet.

 My stepmom, Esta, and I made this torte. Fact is, it’s pretty much a no-bake cheesekcake or cream pie (or whatever you wanna call it) with fresh Colorado peaches. I’m talkin about the juice-running-down-your-chin-n-forearm-when-you-bite-in, kind o’ peaches. You want to hear how yummy this is?! We brought this wonderful creation over to my grandparents house. My dad and grandparents [Read more >>]

Whoopie Pies. Ok, sorta whoopie pies. But please save the “these aren’t realllllyy whoopie pies” comments. I know. You know. We know. (Feelin’ a little feisty today can you tell?)

Soccer Cake Balls

Things I learned this week that I should’ve already known after my twenty-something years of life: Do not go running with someone that plays soccer on a team.

Then I’m doing [Read more >>]

I was thinking of memories I have from growing up…simple memories. Memories I love looking back on. Things such as: Dozing off to sleep to the sound of grown-ups talking in the other room. My “talking” A.G. teddy bear. I was the only one who spoke his muffled language. Racing to answer the phone (when friends – not [Read more >>]
