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 […]
If you’ve been following along here for awhile, you’ll know that my husband hates peaches (I still am appalled). You’ll also know that I, on the other hand, LOVE peaches. And every time he goes out of town in the summer I use it as my excuse to put peaches in everything: peach muffins, peach […]
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 […]

Aren’t these mini pie pans so cute?!? They were a gift from Grandma Vi and although she is technically not my grandma, I love her like one anyway. She sent them to me over a month ago and I know it’s a shame I haven’t used them until now but it’s just because I couldn’t decide […]
I truly think banana bread is one of the best foods. Not only do I convince myself it’s somewhat healthy when it most definitely is not (come on, the title itself alludes to healthiness) but there is nothing like the smell of banana bread baking in the oven. If you have noticed, I’m big on […]
Both of us love to read and are constantly giving each other updates of books we’re currently reading or want to read. Once Kelly even got an email from a finance program telling her she’d been spending too much money on books lately and should think about adjusting her book budget. One of the best parts […]
I have taken a little 2 week hiatus from baking (sorry for slacking Steph!) so this weekend I decided to do nothing but bake! Well and sleep, read, workout, go to church, watch the Oscars, take two naps… ok so I didn’t spend the whole weekend baking but I did try some new recipes including […]
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 […]
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! […]

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 […]

I love breakfast. It just might be my favorite meal of the day! With dessert a close second. Very rarely though do I actually make breakfast though. It’s usually always something quick that I’m shoving in my mouth in the car rushing to get to work on time. Super classy and grown up, I know. […]
