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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I used to hate Black Bottom Cupcakes growing up. Well, I should not say hate. Hate is a strong word. As mom used to say, “You should only hate the devil and Hitler.” I think it’s safe to throw in some others in that saying too, but she made her point and it has had […]
The Giants are in the World Series!! The 3rd time in 5 years!! And I went to Game 4! We sure are spoiled as Giants fans 🙂 So in honor of game 6 tonight (watching the game as I write this and trying to keep the tears from spilling on my keyboard…), I decided 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 […]
I love St. Patrick’s Day! I love that people wear green. I love that I am Irish so I can wear one of those “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirts and it’s true (I’ve actually never worn one of those shirts though). I love whiskey (really only Fireball, something Stephanie and I both like). But perhaps […]
I’m fairly convinced I could be a vegetarian without much hassle. Now don’t get me wrong, I love me some steak fajitas, barbecued ribs or pork chops…I just don’t cook meat that often. Especially if I’m only cooking for myself. That being said, I’ve had low iron levels on more than one occasion and my mother […]
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 […]
A few weeks ago I told you about my strawberry obsession, remember? And how I was making strawberry compote for almost every meal? Well I am proud to tell you I finally made the angel food cake to go along with it! And it did not disappoint. I won’t lie, I was a little intimidated […]
