One of the greatest gifts that has come from being a food blogger is the wonderful number of absolutely lovely people I now call friend. 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 …

Sometimes recipe development is just fun. One of the things I enjoy most? Creating a recipe for a contest. I’ve come to learn about myself as I get older that I excel when I have a deadline and tight constraints on a project. Whether it’s a work project or a blog post, I definitely love …
So have you seen Caramel Apple Milky Ways yet? Listen, I know that the stores push it – piling bag after bag of Halloween candy into the seasonal section in mid-August, when honestly, I’d still like to buy patio furniture! I’m lookin’ at you, Target. However, when surprises like bite-size Caramel Apple Milky Ways are …
I’m so so SO very excited for today’s post because I get to tell you all about my lovely friend, Jen from My Kitchen Addiction. Jen is a generous, loving soul from sun up to sun down. Every week she’s baking something new for her family, her church, or the neighbors down the road having …

A quick google search will show you all sorts of different versions of this treat. The thing is.. I needed an excuse to buy Mint Oreos. I do my best not to bring …
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’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! I’ve been assigned Heather’s …
Jen said it best: Baking for others is a lot more fun and rewarding than just baking for the sake of it. Not long ago, Amanda from I am Baker put out the call for folks that might need a pick-me-up. A little surprise to let them know how much they’re loved. She dubbed it …
