Remember that time I showed you how easy it is to make Strawberry Freezer Jam, and that you don’t have to worry about hot water and properly sealed jars? Well…I’m going over to the dark side of real canning today.  But at the end you get chunky salsa, and what could be better than that?! Plus […]

Coffee might be my biggest weakness. I need it in the morning, I won’t turn it down in the afternoon, and I’ve been known to drink it in the evening before bed (I’m not an addict. Italians do it. It’s classy). The only problem with this coffee obsession of mine is that it’s approximately a […]

You’re probably tired of hearing about my excessive amount of tomatoes, but even after making salsa…I still have TONS! Every time I eat one I swear two more are ripe. I’m not complaining, I just needed to figure out something to do with them! If there’s one thing I love more than desserts, it’s pasta. […]

So, have you seen the milkshake food truck driving around in your area recently? Exactly, there isn’t one (well maybe there is but I haven’t seen it!) and that’s what I want to drive one day. Seriously, I’d love to own a milkshake truck because I LOVE milkshakes! I consider myself a milkshake connoisseur and […]

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 […]

One of my favorite meals is a cold Asian noodle salad, especially on a hot summer day. With summer coming to a close (which we’re pretty excited about here on LDB because we LOVE fall), I thought it was time to enjoy one last Asian noodle salad. And what better and more convenient way than […]

The post everyone has been waiting for…WEDDING PICTURES! Our photographer, Annie, was absolutely amazing and gave us so many pictures, it’s been a daunting task going through and picking our favorites. They’re all our favorites! I apologize in advance for the overload of pictures to come. I tried to keep them in an order that makes […]

I’ve wanted to make homemade granola forever. When I told the BF I was making some, his exact words were “you’ve said you’re going to make that forever”. Clearly I talk things up then never follow through. This cinnamon raisin granola reminds me of my freshman year in college. Living on campus I ate all […]
