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 [...]

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 [...]

Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen is one of those friends. My favorite thing about Kristan is her hilarious sense of humor. Every single post Kristan writes has me [...]

It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club! I honestly can’t believe it’s already that time again. It’s been a crazy four weeks since I posted that Lemon Pineapple Cream Pie, and it went by faster than I’d like to admit! When I opened my assignment email this month, I was stoked!

Raise your hand if you love mangoes, but they’ve always intimidated you! Up until a few weeks ago, I would have raised my hand. Every time I’ve had mango in a restaurant, I’ve loved it to bits. But I always passed it over in the supermarket – a funny foreign ingredient that I’d never use [...]

It’s my favorite day again: Fritos Friday! I swear, I will eventually move away from pushing Fritos into candy and dessert applications, but right now, I’m really having fun with it. Fritos Chocolate Crunchies are no exception. The idea comes directly from Kaleta Doolin’s book, Fritos Pie, but I have no idea if this recipe [...]
