Team Green No Longer!

by Amber on June 5, 2013

When you become pregnant, you learn all sorts of vernacular you might never have been privy to otherwise. For example, did you know that when parents choose not to find out the baby’s gender via sonogram, they’ve officially joined Team Green?

Yeah, me neither. But, you learn something new every day.

The Brit and I were not graced with the patience nor the will to wait the full nine months to find out the gender of our upcoming offspring, so we found out this morning at approximately 8 a.m.

Boy or Girl, you ask?

A Surprise for Megan: Chile and Sausage Oven Frittata

28

May

One of the hardest things about living in New Jersey is the homesickness for Texas. I miss wide open spaces, and tacos whenever I want (not made by me!) and bluebonnets, obviously. But even more so, I miss my people. My tribe. My family, of course. But also, there are a few Texans that I [...]

Green Mountain Fair Trade Island Coconut Coffee Cake

May

You all know that recently I went home to Texas to be with my dad and family while he underwent open heart surgery. I’ll tell you, nothing makes you want to bake for others more than (stress) and sheer gratitude for the care they’re giving your sick dad. When I decided I’d bake a cake [...]

Keurig K-Cup Ambassador: Barista Prima Coffeehouse

May

There’s not much my husband likes better than tiramisu. I don’t know what it is… the silky mascarpone, the decadent coffee and rum (or wine), or the chocolate. Or maybe it’s how they all sing together in perfect dessert harmony. One thing’s for sure, tiramisu is his favorite dessert, bar none. Even given a choice [...]

A Little News…

Apr

You may have noticed things going intermittently quiet around here for a while now. I promise you it was not because I lost a passion for food, or a passion for blogging, but rather because I had something incredibly important happening here at home.

Apr

Do you love Hawaiian coffee? The hubs and I sure do. We go out of our way to visit the Kona Cafe when we’re at Disney World, just for one cup of that fabulous java. Lately we’ve been enjoying that same balanced and bright flavor at home in Tully’s Hawaiian Blend K-Cup Packs. It’s like [...]

Lemon Drop Cookies for Ashton’s Housewarming

Apr

Do you ever look through old recipe books and find a recipe that truly surprises you? That’s this recipe. Lemon Drop Cookies aren’t a reference to the cocktail, not at all. They’re named after that old-as-the-hills hard candy from Brachs that we all know and love. When I was a kid, cough and throat drops [...]

A Day in the Life…

Apr

Why is there a photo of enchiladas with no recipe, you ask? Well, my pal Rachel asked me to answer a few questions about my day, and share some fun photos of my kitchen, among other things. She also let me get a little pet peeve about flour vs. corn tortillas off my chest. I’d [...]

Making 300 Cupcakes

When your baby cousin by ten years gets married, it’s one of those things you want to pull out all the stops for. Especially since James and I kind of feel like we were the first to give the “family approval” of the groom. Zach and Alycia are the CUTEST couple, and we were so [...]

Happy April 1st, y’all! Now, I know for many of you, this is a day of trickery and tom foolery. But, instead of tricks for you, today I have a treat for you. I’ve teamed up with some of my favorite bloggers to buy a great camera (even better than my own, actually!) to give [...]
