What is your favorite of the five senses to enjoy the holidays? Is it taste, with all the delicious food to enjoy? Is it sight, and the joy all the lights and decorations bring? Maybe it’s sound, with the music and the bells. Or is it touch, whether it’s the cold snow or the rustle […]
I usually eat my morning oatmeal with a healthy (aka larger than serving size) scoop of granola and it is delicious! I eat it most mornings. But as much as I love overpriced pumpkin flax granola from the store, I decided it was time I start making my own. The recipe is super simple and […]
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 […]
Thanksgiving is in a week guys. ONE week. Are you ready?? Personally I love Thanksgiving. It’s a very close second to Christmas in my book. I love all the food, spending time in the kitchen with my family and our tradition of watching our first Christmas movie of the season. It also helps that sometimes my birthday […]
Is anyone else getting spring fever or is it just me? Cause I’m dying over here! At least it’s finally sunny, but 45 just isn’t cutting it. Between the VS swim catalogues that keep showing up in the mail and peoples’ spring break pics I am beyond ready for summer! (remind me of this moment […]
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 […]
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 […]
We promise we did more than just eat while in Portland! We went shopping, walked around NW Portland, drove through neighborhoods picking out potential dream homes, met new friends and almost got tattoos! (well only Kelly) One of our favorite parts of the trip, however, was our hike in Eagle Creek to Punchbowl Falls and […]
Guys, I met Brekin Meyer last night. Like actually met him as in shook his hand and talked to him. I didn’t think I would be so excited but after my friend almost ran him over in the parking garage of the movie theater, I was so excited that it was actually him. And that’s […]
“She likes whiskey with her water”. “Every time you kiss me it’s like sunshine and whiskey”. “We could straight up blame it on the whiskey”. “She’s my little whiskey girl”. Not to brag…but pretty sure all of those country songs were written with me in mind. My name is Stephanie. And whiskey is my fav […]
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 […]

In case you somehow missed my excessive instagramming (is that a word?), I spent last week in Chicago! Looks like I left you in good hands with Kelly…cupcake week?! I’m a little sad I missed out! In these two travel posts you will get to meet my lovely sister Cassie. Since our parents are going fishing in Alaska […]
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 […]
