If you follow us on social media, you know that we had an LDB wedding recently. Steph and Matt got married in a truly awesome, fun and wonderful wedding weekend in Boise, Idaho, the place they first met 8 years ago! But more on the wedding later… Because a month before the wedding we celebrated […]
Harry Potter and pumpkins…could there be any two things I love more?! Well besides dogs. And Christmas. And the ocean. And wine. Ok so maybe I love a lot of things. But I really love Harry Potter (as evidenced by my bachelorette party). I also really love pumpkins, which is why I signed up to be […]
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 […]
I’m going to preface by saying that I have never had German Chocolate Cake so I can’t say how much these taste like an actual German Chocolate Cake but I can say they are delicious! And super easy to make too! It’s no secret how much I love coconut! And chocolate! So when my cousin […]
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 […]
Have I mentioned I’m sad the holidays are over? If not, you could come over and see my decorations still up. I have to take them down in phases or else I think I would go into some soft of post-Christmas-depression. To keep the holiday feel going, I remade a drink my family had at […]
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 […]
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 […]
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! Kelly The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion My mom and sister read this book back when we were seniors in high school. They […]
Yes, you read that title right! It’s the final day of cupcake week and for the finale we bring you Circus Animal Cookie Cupcakes. Seriously, YUM!! Circus Animal cookies remind me of childhood, almost as much as Dunk-A-Roos, Squeeze-Its, Cookie Crisp cereal, Lisa Frank, Power Rangers, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Captain Planet. Can […]

It’s official, I’m an adult. I got a Sonicare for Christmas. It was seriously the only thing I wanted. You know you are getting older when your wish list is created for practicality reasons. And although I would have been very content with just my toothbrush, I also got a blender. I know what you’re […]
I just love coffee cake. It reminds me of lazy Sundays, drinking coffee and planning out the day. While traditional cake is not seen as an acceptable breakfast item, add the word coffee to the title and it’s suddenly a-okay, encouraged even. My sugar cookies use sour cream, which I know is what helps keep them so […]
We had a bag of Peanut M&Ms lying around so naturally I had to make cookies. Also, I didn’t want to devour the entire bag of M&Ms while watching Bachelor in Paradise. Because let’s be honest for a moment, that definitely would have happened. Speaking of Bachelor in Paradise, have you been watching?!? It’s definitely […]
