It’s obvious we have an ice cream obsession around here, but sometimes you want to beat the summer heat and not feel guilty about indulging. Or maybe you’re doing the Whole30 like us and can’t have sugar. Or maybe you just want a healthy summer treat for the kiddos. Whatever your reasoning, these popsicles are […]
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, … [Read More…]
Coconut and chocolate- now that’s a winning combination right there! I’ve had a hankering for coconut desserts lately. Ever since I made these Haystack Energy Bites (which I’ve made 3 times in the last month and plan on making another batch this weekend…), I have been craving all things coconut. Coconut macaroons seemed like the obvious choice to […]
New Year’s Eve 2012 was spent in Boise. With sparkly dresses, fishbowl drinks and below freezing temperatures (I think it was about 10 degrees…) … [Read more…] Is anyone else super behind on their holiday baking?! I don’t know where the time went! Sugar cookies are a classic. For any holiday! We used to make […]
For the first time since starting this blog…Kelly and I were together! And we’d been practically counting down the days. We had a list a mile long of things to do! Such as: go running, go to hot yoga, shop, bake, maybe do a video post?, coffee date, drink wine, look at Christmas lights…it goes […]
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 […]
Happy hump day! Know what your Wednesday needs? A little sparkle. A little confetti. Maybe a few sprinkles. These cookies came about when I was brainstorming babysitting activities. There’s a little cutie in my life and I was going to be watching her one night and putting her to bed. I’m not usually there for her […]

Once I finally made my own homemade granola and saw how easy and delicious it was…I knew there was no going back. I’ve had ideas in my head for all different kinds of mix ins and variations of granola, just waiting to finish up each batch so I can make some more. Can you be […]
Things I love about baking at my parent’s house: KitchenAid mixer!!! Giant butcher block island. Double oven. Always having every ingredient I can possibly think of. Surround sound kitchen speakers and XM radio. Things I don’t love: I can never, ever, find anything. Once my sister and I left for college Mom and Dad moved […]
I am on a quest to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m serious; it is one of my life goals to master the art of baking chocolate chip cookies. I’m so dedicated to this goal, I even wrote my grad school admissions essay on this topic. I compared baking chocolate chip cookies to […]
Is there any combination better than orange and dark chocolate?? Well, maybe peanut butter and chocolate. But orange and dark chocolate is a close second! You know those chocolate oranges you get at Christmas? That you have to smack on the table to open? These cupcakes are like those. Only even better. The tartness of the […]
Hi friends!! Ever since our return from Portland (you can read about that here and here), we have been wanting to recreate some of the amazing food we ate! We started with hummus from the Blue Olive! Head over to the Simply Living where we guest posted some yummy hummus yesterday and check out their […]
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your day is filled with family, friends, and food! Now officially begins the holiday season and it is universally accepted to listen to Christmas music (even though we’ve both been doing that for months). When taking a moment to reflect, we are both beyond blessed by having so much to be […]
