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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Happy World Nutella Day! A holiday I didn’t know existed until last week, but plan on fully celebrating from now on. Did you know today is the 8th anniversary of the holiday?? The day even has its own Twitter if you feel the need to follow the events happening around the world: We had a […]
Happy Monday friends! Don’t you just love Mondays?? Oh wait…maybe that’s just me. Since I work a weekend shift, technically Mondays are my “Fridays” and I end up the most chipper person at work! But in case you’re like the rest of the world and don’t have an impending weekend (aka Tues/Wed/Thurs) to be lazy […]
