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 …

If you’re anything like me, you’re in full-on holiday scramble mode. I don’t know how I ended up here. Every year, I intend to start purchasing Christmas gifts in August. Up until about 2007, that’s what I did. By December, I was sitting back cool, calm and collected while everyone else rushed around. But somehow, …
When I was little, my favorite kind of cookie to get from the bakery or coffee shop was always one with a chocolate base. We never made that kind at home, and basically, they seemed like magical inside-out cookies to my kidlet brain. It might be 30 years later, but for me, the magic of …
It’s been way too long since we did a Fritos Friday, don’t you think? I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate things slowly getting back to normal around here than a mound of Barbecue Fritos covered with pulled pork, chili beans, cheddar cheese, and a little parsley to brighten things up.

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 …

February 20th is National Cherry Pie Day. While the dish is credited to Queen Elizabeth the 1st of England, most Americans are more likely to think of George Washington and his cherry tree when thinking of this bubbly, tart dessert. Little known is that the story of George Washington and his cherry tree is a …
I’m super stoked today to have Jamie from My Baking Addiction guest posting for y’all. To quote something Jamie says often, I love her more than cheesecake. She’s my sounding board, one of my best friends, and often referred to by my Brit as “the other woman” – simply because she’s the only person that …
