Meyer Lemon Butter Cake needs no frosting or frills. It’s light and sweet, and perfect for snacking. Here we are, y’all. New year, new you, right? Only, in my case, it’s new year, new site! I’ve been planning the move from Bluebonnets & Brownies to Bluebonnet Baker for more than a year. It took me …

Chocolate Chai Pound Cake with Chai Cream Cheese Frosting is a dream come true. If you love chocolate and you love chai, this dessert will put you over the top. I’ve been seeing chocolate chai everywhere these days. It started at Starbucks, with their Chocolate Chai Latte, and then it started popping up all over …
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.

Things have been a little crazy over here in Casa de B&B. Sufficed to say, I’m finding there are not enough hours in most days. But, some things are important enough that you make time for them. Like cake. And friends. I’d like to tell you about our dear friends, Chris and Karen. They have …

I had the opportunity to first try Redwood Hill Farm’s products at the Big Summer Potluck, and I was stunned by the creamy, tangy goodness of goat’s milk yogurt. This may sound weird, but I was really excited to see goat …
I’m going to preface this post by saying that when I’m stressed, I don’t always make the best food choices. My first experience with a Zagnut candy bar (outside of the movie Beetlejuice) came a few months ago when James and I embarked on a DIY project of sorts. You see, we overhauled our kitchen …
It took me a while to join the Pinterest bandwagon, I’ll admit. I wasn’t really down with one more time suck. In fact, I’m proud that I’m still quite force-ably limiting myself to about an hour a week in browsing the site. But let it never be said that women aren’t visual creatures, you know …
Last year, I got to visit King Arthur Flour’s Baking Education Center with a slew of other bloggers. I’d never met any of them before, but there’s something about baking together that will make a group of folks instantly feel like family. Fiona from A Boston Food Diary is one of the bloggers I got …
