This is a look at that one time I was a roller derby chick… 5:30pm: Arrive to the rink in the sketchiest neighborhood of Sacramento an hour early. (I work 5 minutes away so I had no choice.) And, I’m the only car there. And trust me, I’ve lived in the hood in LA before […]
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 […]
One major perk of the fiancé’s new job is that we both get memberships to the athletic club in town. I attempted to get into running a few summer’s ago, when Kelly and I did the San Francisco Half Marathon, buuuuttt after we ran that race I kind of got out of my work out routine. I […]
Two posts in a row that involve peanut butter… yep, I’m on a PB kick. But then again, when am I not? My cousin is getting married in less than two weeks. We just celebrated her bachelorette party in Vegas at the end of May and let me tell you, nothing will encourage you to […]
I dropped the ball on posting recipes in advance for Christmas. And Valentine’s Day. And even St. Patrick’s Day. But I will not be behind for Easter. Thus, I bring you Easter Blondies. A good few weeks before Easter. You’re welcome 🙂 I love Easter. I love the meaning of Easter and why we celebrate […]
Hi friends!! Ever since our return from Portland (you can read about that here and here), we have been wanting to recreate some of the amazing food we ate! We started with hummus from the Blue Olive! Head over to the Simply Living where we guest posted some yummy hummus yesterday and check out their […]
We were approached by Ashley from The Wine Stain to do a guest post on friendship and we couldn’t be more excited! And nervous, too! Writing about ourselves is so much harder than writing about cookies! We wanted to spend a little time talking first about us, and how we became friends, and also about how we are able […]
Before I begin, this isn’t technically pie- there is no crust. But, it’s baked in a pie tin so I took the creative liberties of calling it a pie. Cool? Great! So this Caramel Pretzel Brownie Pie… it’s delicious! I have been on huge caramel kick lately. I was sick all last week and caramel […]
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 […]
Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks! That means 2 weeks of healthy, good eating so you can enjoy all the yumminess of Thanksgiving, especially these Mini Apple Crisps! Last week we posted a vanilla ice cream recipe, especially for this apple crisp because nothing goes with an apple crisp quite like a scoop of vanilla ice […]
I’m on a health kick… again. Remember, I strive for progress not perfection blah, blah, blah… but with this smoothie, I don’t feel like I have to give anything up! This is the summer of oatmeal and coconut. Lately, I can’t seem to make a recipe that does not call for one or both of these […]
Snickerdoodles are one of those cookies we just didn’t eat as a child. I’m not really sure why, I mean everyone loves them, I just don’t have any memories of making or eating them. They’re also not a cookie you generally see out and about (Starbucks, Subway, grocery stores…). Which is very strange to me! […]
Coconut and chocolate- now that’s a winning combination right there! I’ve had a hankering for coconut desserts lately. Ever since I made these Haystack Energy Bites (which I’ve made 3 times in the last month and plan on making another batch this weekend…), I have been craving all things coconut. Coconut macaroons seemed like the obvious choice to […]
Happy Cupcake Week on Long Distance Baking! You read that right, it’s cupcake week here at LDB and we couldn’t be more excited! We have 3 yummy cupcake variations this week, starting with Classic Vanilla. The idea for cupcake week came about when I was asked to bake cupcakes for my cousin’s first birthday. I […]
