I hope you’re ready for pumpkin overload, because today is the Virtual Pumpkin Party! Us and a bunch of other bloggers are all posting pumpkin recipes today, just in time for your Halloween and fall festivities. A new Dairy Queen just opened near us, which is perfect timing for me to get the seasonal pumpkin pie […]
Guys, first, are you watching The People v. OJ Simpson on FX?? I just started last week and watched all the episodes back to back… I’m hooked! The show is so good! Given that I was only 4 when the whole OJ trial went down, I remember absolutely nothing about it. And besides the whole “if the […]
Is anyone else super behind on their holiday baking?! I don’t know where the time went! Sugar cookies are a classic. For any holiday! We used to make these every year growing up. The recipe is from my Aunt Jacki and to be honest, I don’t know where she got it. But this is the […]
In my quest to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe (read about it here!), my cousin and I experimented with these. Because what is better than a classic chocolate chip cookie? A classic chocolate chip cookie with miniature Reese’s! My cousin and I have always experimented in the kitchen. We even started our own […]
I love muffins for breakfast. Sure they’re not as healthy for you as other breakfast options. And yes, sometimes I put enough sugary sweetness into them they’re more like a dessert, but mornings are hard enough as it is. Don’t we deserve a treat for getting out of our cozy beds? This is why I […]
Sure, fall means pumpkin spice everything, but fall also means FOOTBALL! We’re pretty big football fans here at LDB. Kelly is a USC alum (fight on!) and Steph went to Boise State (go broncos!) so football games are a fall tradition for us. The tailgating and viewing parties may be more fun than the actual […]
If you follow us on social media, you know that we had an LDB wedding recently. Steph and Matt got married in a truly awesome, fun and wonderful wedding weekend in Boise, Idaho, the place they first met 8 years ago! But more on the wedding later… Because a month before the wedding we celebrated […]
Tis the season for zucchini! I’ve already started seeing coworkers leaving their extras in the break room at work. I’m slightly ashamed to say though, I have no homegrown zucchini this year 🙁 I got the “grey bugs of death” on my plants and there was no saving them. Normally by this time of year we have […]
My roommate and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary (awwww!). It’s true, somehow we survived 5 years under the same roof without killing each other. For two twenty-something year old girls? That’s a cause for celebration. I know other people make Better Than Sex Cake (BTS or Better Than Anything Cake…if you prefer a […]
It’s Friday evening before a holiday weekend and our AC stops working. It’s 95 all weekend. We found more ants in our cupboards, this time they found their way INSIDE the honey jar. Can summer be over now??? I know, I know. Unpopular opinion. But I’m hot. I’m tired of bugs. And I just want […]
Happy Monday! Today I am going to take you on a tour of my hometown: Elk Grove, California! Steph and I were approached by this awesome company called RelayRides to highlight the gems in our hometowns. RelayRides is a ride share program. So if you wanted to fly into Sacramento International Airport and drive to […]
Well I’ve been in Louisiana for a couple months now, and I still don’t understand what a bayou is. To me, it just looks the same as a river. Except there are trees growing in it? And alligators. And snakes. And who knows what else that probably wants to kill you. But really, other than […]
Disclaimer: this post is sponsored by Imperial Sugar. I received sample products to use in recipe development however all opinions are honest and my own. Chocolate. Cream Cheese. Brownies. You’ve all had these before, I don’t even need to explain them to you. They are so popular and so well known, I naturally assumed we […]
I’m baaaaack! Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted a recipe on LDB so I’ll just give a quick update on where I’ve been before I get to these delicious treats! If you follow us on social media, you might have noticed that this past March I entered a business competition in Sacramento called […]
