This post was supposed to be homemade hot cocoa (coming next week now) but Bunsy has been on a chocolate chip cookie kick lately and wanted to make another batch. I am on the quest for the perfect […]
Well I’ve been in Louisiana for a couple months now, and I still don’t understand what a bayou is. To me, it just looks the same as a river. Except there are trees growing in it? And alligators. And snakes. And who knows what else that probably wants to kill you. But really, other than […]
“Beans, beans the magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you….” Ok, you get it, no need for me to finish the song that was inevitably sung every time beans were served with dinner. But as annoying as this little bean chant was, the last line still rings true: “I could have beans for […]
It’s been a while since we’ve done a book review here on LDB but with summer vacation time nearing an end, we thought we’d share what was on our summer reading lists!

Is there any combination better than orange and dark chocolate?? Well, maybe peanut butter and chocolate. But orange and dark chocolate is a close second!

I don’t know if I have mentioned this before or not, but at my wedding (which is completely non-existent at this point and purely hypothetical) I want donuts instead of cake. More specifically, I want Apple Donuts. Ever since I was young, as in before I remember, we have been going to Apple Hill every […]

Growing up my family didn’t have many Easter traditions. We did the usual go to church, maybe go to the zoo when we were little, but no big huge dinner or anything. Now that I’m not living at home I haven’t adopted any of my own traditions yet either. Unless you count working… (no holidays […]
Granola is healthy, right? Even with the addition of chocolate? Ok, great, that’s what I thought! So here ya go, healthy peanut butter chocolate chip granola… I’m hiking Half Dome one week from tomorrow and I’m feeling surprisingly very calm and cool about it. The only thing that really concerns me about the hike, the […]
