As promised, I combined whiskey and popcorn. You’re welcome. Ever since I learned how easy it is to make your own microwave popcorn, I’ve been on a huge popcorn kick. It only seemed natural to make caramel corn as Christmas gifts to give out to family and friends. I made a S’mores version for the […]
For the past few months, my fiancé Matt has been asking me to make “black and white cookies, you know…like at the grocery store!” With a description like that, I know you’ll be surprised to hear I had no idea what he was talking about. Not to worry though, his mom went to their local […]
As Kelly mentioned before, we ate so many great meals in Portland we just knew we’d have to recreate some at home! We went to a cute little Swedish place called Broder for Easter brunch and it had the most delicious bread! Not that my meal wasn’t great…I was just a little disappointed with the small pieces […]
Some say I’m a picky eater (don’t listen to them…I’m infinitely better than I was as a child). However one thing I’m still picky about: Bananas. They have one little bruise? Done. Start turning slightly brown? Nope. I just can’t do it! I also can’t bear to throw them away, so I end up with […]
Once upon a time I made Angel Food Cake. And it was delectable and not nearly as difficult as I imagined. So I decided to make them in cupcake form. Because anything miniature is infinitely cuter. Within one week at work we had a retirement party for two of our radiology nurses (a combined 84 years […]
Proof 2016 went too fast: we’re halfway through January and we’re just posting our top recipes from last year! But better late than never, right? It’s always interesting for us to see what posts were the most popular. Some of these aren’t even from 2016! Take a look and let us know what new recipes […]
I avoided sweet potatoes like the plague when I was younger. I couldn’t get past the marshmallow topping and the orange color. They just weren’t for me. That was until my cousin transformed them into an AMAZING dessert. Or side dish. Really it could go both ways. We had a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner with my […]
If you know us at all, you know here at LDB we love our wine. Thats not to say we are wine snobs by any means, nor do we fully understand all the nuances and complexities each wine offers, but we love drinking wine. And that’s what really matters, right? So when Winc approached us […]
My grandmother once told me that ice cream “is just milk, cream, and sugar- it’s really not that bad for you, Kelly.” I chose to believe her and as a result, I liberally consume ice cream on a regular basis. Thanks, Mimi, for justifying my love of ice cream. Now, I can’t entirely blame my […]
Happy summer! Well, kind of. I guess it’s not technically summer yet but it sure feels like it and if I was still in college, I’d be on summer vacation right now so in my book it’s summer. And speaking of summer vacation, I wish adults had summer vacation too. I really think the world would […]
Cheers! I’m baaaack 🙂 Thank you, Steph, for holding down the fort and posting some amazing recipes! I was jealous that I could not make this Jalapeño Popper Dip for New Years. It’s seriously my favorite so if you haven’t done so yet, make it soon! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ll have […]
You all know what salad I’m talking about. The one that has been served at every potluck and BBQ in the history of ever? Well I have a confession: I’ve never made it before. My family has never made it either. It’s always been a mystery of sorts to me. I was often intrigued by it […]
Well, the holidays are officially over. And I’m pretty upset about it. We didn’t get a white Christmas (yet drove 6 hours through the snow…), I had to defrost my car from freezing rain yesterday, and to make matters worse? No more holiday Starbucks cups. The one bright spot that came this weekend was some fresh […]
I’ve been a little all over the place lately. Two weeks ago I drove through Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana, helping my boyfriend fiance (still not used to saying this!) move. Last week, I was in Phoenix, Arizona at a high school friends’ wedding. And now? Back in Boise. I do pretty well on […]
