I like pumpkin dessert for what it symbolizes: Fall, coziness, a fire crackling in the fireplace, big comfy sweaters, cold weather, a good book and a lazy Sunday afternoon. I like baking with pumpkin because it means my favorite time of year is finally here and I love the smell of pumpkin spice because it […]
Have you read Born To Run yet? If you haven’t, drop everything and go pick up a copy and read it. Now. Seriously guys, it’s that good. Kelly read the book first and mailed it to me, telling me to read it. However I looked at the title and thought “Meh, I don’t feel like […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The holidays are always my favorite time of year! Here at Long Distance Baking, we love Christmas. We love it so much in fact, that we’ve been known to listen to Christmas music a couple times throughout the year. Every summer vacation needs at least one listen […]
Because we love lists and we love links and we love stories… we’re starting a new regular weekly post. Our Friday Finds will be a culmination of all that and more! Here you will find some of our favorite links and stories from the past week or so around the web and maybe even an update on […]
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 love St. Patrick’s Day! I love that people wear green. I love that I am Irish so I can wear one of those “Kiss Me I’m Irish” t-shirts and it’s true (I’ve actually never worn one of those shirts though). I love whiskey (really only Fireball, something Stephanie and I both like). But perhaps […]
I knew these two weeks would be crazy, so I prepared a post ahead of time for today: Road Trip Trail Mix. Then something else happened…I GOT ENGAGED. Sorry trail mix, you’re not exciting enough anymore. My fiancé (!!!!!) and I have been dating for 7 years. We met at orientation the summer before our […]
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 … [Read More…]
Last Saturday we celebrated my brother’s confirmation with a Mexican dinner at home with family. My Aunt Paula made her famous beef enchiladas, my Aunt Teri made one of her amazingly delicious green salads and we had rice and beans. It was delicious, easy and made for a great evening with family celebrating the fact […]

Well I’m still in an Easter dessert baking mood and partly because I found these really cute cupcake liners and toppers at Hobby Lobby. I love perusing Hobby Lobby, especially for baking supplies. However, they put away holiday stuff too soon! I went the other day, in March, and they were already clearing the Easter […]
If we’re being honest here, I’m not much of a frosting person. I’ll eat it, but I’d prefer whatever is underneath. Frosting kind of just gets in the way. When I made this Red Wine Chocolate Cake, I knew I wanted to incorporate the fruit filling into the frosting. I figured adding the raspberry jam […]
Bananas are one of my favorite fruits and a staple in our house. I eat them all the time and particularly love them with a frozen waffle and peanut butter… you should definitely try it! When Steph and I were in Portland a year and a half ago (you can read about it here and here […]
