Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’m almost 70% Irish, and although I recently found that out through a mail-in DNA service, I’ve always known I had to be a good percentage since my paternal grandmother is 100% Irish. I’m an even higher percentage than I thought – but my skin tone […]
Happy Pi(e) Day! Yes, it’s technically pi day because it’s 3-14, but I’m all about pi with an “e”, and I think you can all get on board with that! So for PIE day – I featured a Cherry Pie that my dad makes, but it’s something we all make […]
Certain smells and flavors immediately bring back memories, especially smells. You can be in one place, smell something familiar, and be transformed back in time. For me, molasses is one of those smells. Growing up, my dad and I would enjoy soft molasses cookies, store bought, but it was always […]
Some spices are meant for cold weather – cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger – and they are usually associated with the holiday season for this reason.

Sugar cookies are one of the most basic, if not the most basic, cookies you can make. And no, I don’t mean basic as in that girl in a crop top and high waisted jeans, I mean basic as in original and delicious! With that said, there are millions of […]
While it snows in many areas of the country, it’s currently pouring in Southern California – something that doesn’t happen a lot, but has been happening more over the last month. As everyone here says, “we need it”, but it’s chilly and makes for indoor days! Enter this bread – […]
I don’t know about you, but I think chocolate chip cookies are meant to be eaten any time of day – they’re a sweet treat, and you should just go for it! Especially with Valentine’s Day coming up, there’s always a reason for cookies! Although I like making a lot […]
Coconut is such a delicious flavor – and one I don’t always remember to use it! It automatically makes me think of tropical places, like Hawaii, or treats, like Mounds bars – all good things! I wanted to make a quick bread (no rising time), with a the delicious coconut […]
