Guys, my mom made cookies last night. And guess what, they were really good! She called it miraculous. This post was supposed to be homemade hot cocoa (coming next week now) but Bunsy has been on a chocolate chip cookie kick lately and wanted to make another batch. I am on the quest for the perfect […]
I recently saw an article describing some Boise stereotypes, one being that our favorite summer past time is to complain about the heat. Well…that ones true for sure (though it’s not humid here like the article says). But seriously, I can’t get enough of popsicles right now! Especially since I rediscovered making my own. In addition […]
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 […]
Happy Cupcake Week! Today’s cupcake is a yummy Cookies and Cream cupcake w/chocolate frosting because who doesn’t love Oreos and chocolate?!?! My family is full of choco-holics so I knew I would need to bake at least one batch of cupcakes involving chocolate but I wanted to spice it up a bit. Chocolate cupcakes just […]
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 […]

My mother is a firm believer that every woman needs to know how to make homemade pie crust, that it is a necessary skill for life. Problem was, she didn’t have a good recipe! Not that the pie crusts were ever bad, they just weren’t that perfect flaky crust everyone craves. Lucky for us, the mom […]
I don’t know if I have mentioned this before or not, but at my wedding (which is completely non-existent at this point and purely hypothetical) I want donuts instead of cake. More specifically, I want Apple Donuts. Ever since I was young, as in before I remember, we have been going to Apple Hill every […]
How is June almost over?! I’m in denial that the 4th of July is next week. Although I must not be in too much denial, considering I tested out holiday recipes before the holiday for once. It really is a miracle. I saw these cheesecake bars on pinterest and couldn’t resist! I mean, come on. They’re adorable! I […]
Hi friends! Things are getting a bit hectic around LDB right now, which is odd for this time of year. I feel like late winter/early spring there’s usually nothing going on. We started January by making a list of goals for the blog this year and commited to making some big changes. We’re now an […]

I know, I know. I’m wayyyy behind on the popsicle bandwagon. I tried making some rum and coke popsicles last summer and had such high hopes! Until they didn’t set up (note to self…don’t try making popsicles so strong you can get drunk off them…) and they just tasted…blah. I’m not sure if I didn’t have the […]
Guys, I debated whether or not to post this. I mean, nobody wants to highlight a failure or showcase a bad idea. But in the spirit of blog transparency and to show that just because you have a baking blog doesn’t mean you always get the recipe right, I’m sharing it. Really, it’s all to […]
I LOVE ice cream (and milkshakes)! It is my favorite dessert and if you were to ask my favorite food, 75% of the time I’d say ice cream. Mint chip from Baskin Robbins to be exact. Or toasted almond from Leatherby’s (an awesome local ice cream parlor). Or anything with coffee and/or Oreos. Like I […]
