I’m warning you now: this post is going to be mostly pictures. Of my dogs. Because I don’t really know what to say. And I can’t promise there won’t be tears. But you will get to see an old picture of me with braces…so that’s fun. Meet Patches and Rookie. Aka The Boys. And here’s that […]

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 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 […]

Kelly has been begging me to post this dip recipe. Partially because she thought you guys would love it. Partially because she wanted the recipe for herself. I can’t really blame her…cause this stuff is delicious! My cousin made it for Christmas Eve a few years back, and we were all very surprised. Not that […]

I’m going to warn you right now…there is no chocolate in this post today (gasp!). I know, right? Who am I?! I’m a self-proclaimed chocoholic! Yet when I find myself staring at a plateful of cookies, what do I choose? The oatmeal raisin. (Further proof I am too indecisive to have a favorite of anything). […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sooo…we ate too much food to fit into one blog post. Is that bad? Don’t answer that. In our second portion we go over perhaps our two favorite meals: dessert and drinks! If you missed our food reviews, check out Part I. Dessert: Salt & Straw Our love for ice cream matches our love for […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

We went on foodie adventure in Portland last week and here is all the places we ate! Please, don’t judge… We were on vacation after all! Calories don’t count Amy is Kelly’s cousin who lives there and she was our gracious host and tour guide for the trip. If you’re curious about our non-food adventures, […]

I’m alive everyone! I survived Mexico without getting kidnapped and murdered. Hooray! I had every intention of filling you all in on the best restaurants in Cabo and the most exciting and fun things to do…but do you want to know what happened? I turned my phone off. Granted it was only because I was […]
