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 […]
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 […]
We haven’t done a book review in a long time but we’re big readers over here on LDB! Our book interests range from sci-fi to memoirs to historical fiction to fantasy (although no fantasy book will ever top Harry Potter…). So in the spirit of New Years Resolutions, we have both compiled a list of […]
By now I think you should all know I have a thing for muffins: banana, peach, strawberry, zucchini…Kelly even made chocolate chunk so it’s safe to say she’s on the muffin train too. I love muffins because they are so quick and easy, with hardly any prep or clean up. Plus, you can switch up […]
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 […]
Can you believe it is December?? Where did the fall go?! We hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend filled with family, friends and delicious food. This month tends to get hectic and busy, but giving back to others is a tradition we both strive to do more of during this time of year. If […]
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 […]
It’s holiday season which means fruit pies and crisps are in abundance. And what is needed when it comes to hot, fresh of pie on Thanksgiving? Vanilla ice cream 🙂 I love ice cream and my favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip from Baskin Robbins. Or toasted almond from Leatherby’s. If we buy ice cream […]
I realize it’s October and anyone who knows me knows I’m all fall everything over here, but I also live in the South. Where it’s still 90 degrees. And we still have fresh peaches all over the place. So technically, this recipe is still in season. I absolutely love peaches. Peach cobbler, peach muffins, peach smoothies, eating […]
It’s finally Fall. That means it’s time for college football, peppermint mochas, Halloween candy (I would emphasize candy corn but I can’t stand it!), pretty colored leaves, apple cinnamon candles, apple cinnamon desserts, the World Series (sadly our man Buster Posey won’t be there…), Thanksgiving prep, hearty soups/stews, gourds (which sometimes gross me out but they […]
While we did start this blog mainly for sharing our baking adventures, a lot happens in our lives outside of the kitchen! Kelly and I will each be posting a Monthly Musing to discuss…whatever we feel like! It could be book reviews, new music we’re listening to, a TV show we’re obsessed with…anything that’s been […]
Remember when I took that cake decorating class to prepare for the wedding that was months away? Well, it’s now only a month a way. Time to kick it into gear! I just started a new job about 3 weeks ago that I love and we got a few days off for Spring recess. I […]

Guys. Have you made your own croutons before? Because you should. Every few weeks we splurge and buy a nice loaf of bread for dinner, usually if we’re having a hearty pasta dish or a homemade soup. But seeing as there are only two of us, usually the last quarter of that bread goes to […]
