So, have you seen the milkshake food truck driving around in your area recently? Exactly, there isn’t one (well maybe there is but I haven’t seen it!) and that’s what I want to drive one day. Seriously, I’d love to own a milkshake truck because I LOVE milkshakes! I consider myself a milkshake connoisseur and […]
Do you ever struggle deciding what to bring to a party or potluck? My instinct says to bring dessert, but you know there are always plenty of sweets. You could bring chips and dip, but again, there’s bound to be at least one variation of 7-Layer Bean dip already there. It’s nice when someone brings […]
Seven Layer Bars. Seven Layer Magic Cookie Bars. Magic Bars. It doesn’t matter what you call them. They’re some of the most delicious and easiest bars to make. I actually never even knew what their name was. I’ve seen them at various parties and cookie swaps over the years, and I always eat them, but […]
Yes, you read that title right! It’s the final day of cupcake week and for the finale we bring you Circus Animal Cookie Cupcakes. Seriously, YUM!! Circus Animal cookies remind me of childhood, almost as much as Dunk-A-Roos, Squeeze-Its, Cookie Crisp cereal, Lisa Frank, Power Rangers, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Captain Planet. Can […]
Guys, my sister made food last night. And no, it wasn’t boxed mac & cheese. Let me back up. My sister has made some dinners in the past. She’s made homemade ravioli once and mushroom risotto and a veggie quinoa. Yet, she always asks me to make her an egg because she claims she can’t […]
Brett is married!! Last weekend we went to the wedding of our good friend, Brett, in Napa, CA at the beautiful Meritage Resort & Spa. Before the wedding, we met with Julia, our blogging friend from Sprinkled with Jules who also happened to be in the Napa area that day for wedding! Jules posts the most […]
Happy summer! Well, kind of. I guess it’s not technically summer yet but it sure feels like it and if I was still in college, I’d be on summer vacation right now so in my book it’s summer. And speaking of summer vacation, I wish adults had summer vacation too. I really think the world would […]
Have you heard of Chobani’s #BreakYouMake campaign? Turns out we Americans do not take daily breaks, breaks we need to refuel and recharge. Think about it, when was the last time you really stepped away from your desk, turned off your phone, ignored your email and just enjoyed a mini break? I say it’s time […]
My grandmother once told me that ice cream “is just milk, cream, and sugar- it’s really not that bad for you, Kelly.” I chose to believe her and as a result, I liberally consume ice cream on a regular basis. Thanks, Mimi, for justifying my love of ice cream. Now, I can’t entirely blame my […]
Cheers! I’m baaaack At the Cliffs of Moher. Thank you, Steph, for holding down the fort and posting some amazing recipes! I was jealous that I could not make this Jalapeño Popper Dip for New Years. It’s seriously my favorite so if you haven’t done so yet, make it soon! If you follow me on Facebook […]
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 […]
People have said I have a planning problem. Cassie even complained to my mom that I was planning too much (yeah…she told me…) But I can’t help it! Especially in a city this big that has so many things to do, I needed some semblance of an itinerary before we got there because I knew we’d spend […]
Well, it’s official. I have finally visited Yosemite and it’s only taken me 24 years. It’s about time! See, I live in California. Born in Sacramento, raised in Elk Grove, went to school in Davis and Los Angeles, and now back in Elk Grove. I’ve traveled all across the United States (the only states I haven’t […]
Let me start out with a confession: I originally only made these brownies because I had leftover caramel and pretzels from the Everything Cookie Bars. But, they resulted in the best brownies I have ever made! Now, there is a time and place for a boxed brownie mix. I can admit that. However this is not that […]
