Disclaimer: this post is sponsored by Imperial Sugar. I received sample products for recipe development, however all opinions are honest and my own. The final installment of this year’s #Choctoberfest: double chocolate walnut cookies. They taste just as good as they sound! I’m not sure when the idea for these cookies came to mind, but I […]
We are Kelly and Stephanie! Two friends, living far apart, who share a love of baking. We actually share a love of many things including but not limited to: Starbucks, Mumford and Sons, running (some of the time), yoga (most of the time), wine, Shauna Niequist life quotes, anything with Nutella, Pinterest, a really good […]
I don’t know about you, but I could eat pizza every single day and never get tired of it. I like it cold for breakfast, I’ll take leftovers for lunch, it’s never a bad idea for dinner and I am always on board with it for a late night snack. As much as I love eating […]

Guys, I hiked Half Dome this past weekend with my cousin… It was way harder than I thought it would be! This hike has been planned since back in February and this past weekend the date finally arrived. (We hiked on Friday, 9/11 which was, I think, a slightly ominous date). Because of the […]
Everyone has those family friends who are like your second set of parents or grandparents. My early childhood has memories of making seashell necklaces, going on extreme scavenger hunts and getting chocolate kisses from the older neighbors across the street. We never lived close to my grandparents growing up, so our neighbors Laurie and Wally […]
Bananas are one of my favorite fruits and a staple in our house. I eat them all the time and particularly love them with a frozen waffle and peanut butter… you should definitely try it! When Steph and I were in Portland a year and a half ago (you can read about it here and here […]
I’m a little behind on sharing, but I went to Europe for the first time! My husband and I spent about 9 days in total, traveling through Paris, Belgium and Amsterdam. I’m so excited to share all of our European adventures with you! I’m a little upset because my camera started having issues the first day […]
Last week I decided to go home. Now, usually I consider Boise home. I’ve lived here going on 8 years. My friends are here, my job is here…I readily claim this city as my own. But every now and then, I still get homesick. For my real home. For the town I grew up in and […]
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 […]
Every year for one week, my family and I rent a beach house in Aptos, California. The first time I went to this house, I was just over a year and some of my favorite childhood memories are from the beach house. It’s this massive house that sleeps like 30 of us and has this […]
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 […]
So when I went to Ireland, I not only fell in love with the country, the scenery and the people, but I also fell in love with a Hot Whiskey or a Hot Toddy as it is also called. And if you haven’t had one yet, you will too. I’m not a big tea drinker […]
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 […]
