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 …
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 …

As I was baking up treats for the Great American Bake Sale I looked around my kitchen and …
This past Saturday, a few other bloggers and myself put on the central New Jersey chapter of the Share Our Strength Great American Bake Sale. What is the Great American Bake Sale, you ask? Well, it all starts with the fact that 1 in 5 children go hungry every day in America, one of the …
This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Sharon O.! Sharon, I hope you enjoy all that wonderful coffee! I never cease to think of how blessed I am to have fallen head over heels in love with Green Mountain Coffee. Little did I know when we bought our Keurig back in 2007 that before …
You’ve heard of the Secret Recipe Club, right? If you haven’t, let me give you the rundown: think Secret Santa, but for making and blogging a fellow blogger’s recipe. It’s such fun getting your assignment each month, mentally strolling through what might be a new-to-you blog, finding all the treasures it holds. This month I …
Maybe it’s just me, but the arrival of spring weather has me craving fruity, citrusy desserts. In recent years I’ve developed an increasing love for all things lemon.
