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 […]

One of my favorite foods it oatmeal. When I lived in LA, I went through a phase where I would eat oatmeal mixed with a little peanut butter and few chocolate chips in the morning. In the sorority house, I would eat the Better Oats oatmeal that came in the pouch where you fill the […]

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 […]

I. Love. Peach. Cobbler. It’s the best. As much as I love chocolate, peach cobbler may just be my favorite dessert! Maybe it’s because I only get to eat it a few times each year, it seems more special. When most people go camping they roast hot dogs or bbq. When we go camping…we eat things like […]

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 […]

2 more days until September, which means it’s practically Fall. Of course, Starbucks has already started selling their Pumpkin Spice Lattes so if Starbucks ran the world, the best season/time of year is already upon us. Thank you, Starbs. Here at LDBaking, we love Fall and all things Fall related so please prepare yourselves as […]

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 […]

By now I think you should all know I have a thing for muffins: banana, peach, strawberry, zucchini…Kelly even made chocolate chunk so it’s safe to say she’s on the muffin train too. I love muffins because they are so quick and easy, with hardly any prep or clean up. Plus, you can switch up […]

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all  men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” -The Declaration of Independence I love the 4th of July. Not because of the barbeque, or the fireworks, or because […]

Happy hump day! Know what your Wednesday needs? A little sparkle. A little confetti. Maybe a few sprinkles. These cookies came about when I was brainstorming babysitting activities. There’s a little cutie in my life and I was going to be watching her one night and putting her to bed. I’m not usually there for her […]
