Now before anyone gets scared of this recipe title and runs away because “omg she said lactation” let me tell you: these cookies are delicious and not just for breastfeeding mamas. They are essentially an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie…just with a few extra ingredients to aid in milk production*! (*IF you’re breastfeeding. These cookies will […]
To me, carrot cake is the epitome of spring time. It’s light and fresh after a winter of rich heavy foods. It reminds me of a bright sunny day, which is exactly what I want following all the rain we’ve been having. If you’ve watched the news the past few weeks, you may have heard […]
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 […]
Sophomore year Mrs. Ehresman’s English class, I was randomly paired with a girl named Katie to write a “get to know your neighbor” type poem. That day we both happened to be wearing orange shirts so naturally our poem began with “we’re both wearing orange shirts.” (I know, we clearly have a knack for poetry…) We […]
Happy Mardi Gras! It’s that time of year again, when the streets of New Orleans are covered in green, purple and gold beads. Well…actually they’re always like that. But after this weekend there are even more than usual! The traditional dessert of Mardi Gras in general is a King Cake, a ring shaped doughy cake […]
My name is Stephanie and I have a problem. I buy things in season in bulk, then freeze them…and then never use them. And now my freezer is FULL! Between hatch green chiles, rhubarb, huckleberries, zucchini, homemade pesto and brown bananas I have no room…
This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. Every year my family (my big family of aunts, uncles, and cousins) rents a beach house for a week in Aptos, CA. It’s amazing and wonderful and fun! Some of my favorite childhood memories are from the beach house and even though we see our extended family on […]
Happy Monday!! Why am I so excited about a Monday you may ask? Well, that’s because today is one of the best days of the year! It’s the Virtual Pumpkin Party! An annual event where almost 100 bloggers post everything PUMPKIN all day long. Even if you’re tired of your PSL (because at this point […]
Why is it that I always seem to make holiday themed treats after the holiday has passed?? In my defense, I actually made this cake for St. Patrick’s Day, I just didn’t post it in time. Clearly since it’s June… but hey, we can look… It’s hard to believe that Halloween is tomorrow. I feel like […]
Did you know that January is National Soup Month? Neither did I! But it makes a lot of sense. On these cold dreary winter days I love having a big bowl of soup to warm me up. One of my favorite comfort foods of all… Guyyyssss. I’m confused on my seasons. Yes, I L.O.V.E. Fall. […]
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 […]
Happy Friday Eveyone! I am so happy to announce that we have our first guest post on LDBaking!! Meet my good friend and sorority sister, Elise!! Elise and I met as sorority sisters in Alpha Chi Omega at USC. She is currently a law student…
First, thanks Aunt Paula and Mimi for this old-fashioned cake plate! Isn’t it so cute?! Antique shopping runs in the family and this was definitely a great find. Second, happy birthday Naiomi. My cousin Naiomi’s birthday was on Friday and we celebrated last night with this chocolate cake. And it did not disappoint! When I […]
“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 […]
