Have you guys heard of Giving Tuesday? I just learned of it today…and I love the idea! We have Black Friday and Cyber Monday, days full of spending money on material items we don’t really need, it’s only fair we have a day to give back! Aka Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday following Thanksgiving […]
I need chocolate. Badly. And by need I mean I’ve been scrounging through cupboards, looking for lost gems hidden away for days just like today. Sadly…none to be found. I finished off some spice cake, straight from the pan with a fork, while I thought through my options. The easy quick fixes, like no bakes […]
I’ve discovered the secret to winning over co-worker love… bring in baked goods on a regular basis. I started baking for my co-workers at my previous job in Los Angeles and you would have thought I was Kate Middleton handing out buckets of gold. They were truly the most appreciative group of people and they […]
My name is Kelly and I am a Nutella addict. Correction, my name is Kelly and I am a recovering Nutella addict. I am recovering in the sense that I only buy Nutella if I am going to bake with it and only if I use the entire jar. If I don’t use the entire […]
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your day is filled with family, friends, and food! Now officially begins the holiday season and it is universally accepted to listen to Christmas music (even though we’ve both been doing that for months). When taking a moment to reflect, we are both beyond blessed by having so much to be […]
My mother is a firm believer that every woman needs to know how to make homemade pie crust, that it is a necessary skill for life. Problem was, she didn’t have a good recipe! Not that the pie crusts were ever bad, they just weren’t that perfect flaky crust everyone craves. Lucky for us, the mom […]
It’s true. I love Harry Potter. More than most. In fact I once flew to California, had my boyfriend pick me up at the airport, and immediately drop me off at the theater so I could see the midnight showing with Kelly. It’s only natural that my roommate and I (who also is HP obsessed) […]
Two things have confused me about the name Gingersnap: why are they called “ginger” when it’s the dark molasses that gives most of the flavor, and why “snap” when they are so soft and chewy? Turns out…not all gingersnaps are the same! I found I’m actually in the minority for loving a soft cookie. There […]
I like pumpkin dessert for what it symbolizes: Fall, coziness, a fire crackling in the fireplace, big comfy sweaters, cold weather, a good book and a lazy Sunday afternoon. I like baking with pumpkin because it means my favorite time of year is finally here and I love the smell of pumpkin spice because it […]
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 […]
