It’s funny, but I don’t remember my grandma baking cookies. Like…ever. I remember her making homemade tortillas without a recipe. I remember her teaching me to add sugar to my “healthy” cereals to make them taste better. I remember her house always had nuts and we would have so much fun using the nutcracker to […]
Guys, I’ve found a new favorite treat to eat by the spoonful. Sorry Nutella, move aside, this is now my go to addition to any baked treat. And soon, it will be yours too! Today I bring you Cinnamon Buttercream. As we have mentioned multiple times before, here at LDBaking we love Fall. And nothing […]
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 […]
While Steph was relaxing in Cabo and surviving a hurricane (check it our here!), I was drowning my twinge of jealousy that I wasn’t relaxing on a beach in Mexico with her in these Applesauce Cupcakes w/Cinnamon Buttercream. Because, come on, who doesn’t drown their emotions in baked goods especially ones that have been described […]
Guys, I finally made banana cream pie! When I lived in LA, my friends and I would sometimes go to this whole in wall pie place called The Apple Pan. It’s a tiny old-fashioned burger joint with only one giant U-shaped bar for seating and they are known for their pie. Their apple pie is […]
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 […]
One of my favorite breakfast foods, really anytime foods, is a frozen waffle with peanut butter. Steph and I have even bonded over our shared love of peanut butter waffles- seriously the best! I could eat them every day and not just for breakfast. I have, on occasion, brought a frozen waffle and peanut butter to […]
I love dessert but I don’t usually eat candy. I’ll get Junior Mints at the movies and occasionally I’ll crave a Snicker’s or a Reese’s Fastbreak or just a plain Reese’s. But if I had to choose one candy to snack on, I’d choose M&Ms. So when I as at Hobby Lobby the other day […]
The Giants are in the World Series!! The 3rd time in 5 years!! And I went to Game 4! We sure are spoiled as Giants fans 🙂 So in honor of game 6 tonight (watching the game as I write this and trying to keep the tears from spilling on my keyboard…), I decided to […]
As part of being an ultrasound technologist, sometimes we have to be “on call”. Usually this ends up being about once a week or so. If someone comes into the emergency department and needs an ultrasound, the doctors call us and we come in from home. Sometimes you sleep through the night and never get a […]
Are you ready for more peaches? You better be! Did you know August is National Peach Month? I totes did, and that’s why I went all peach-crazy this week! Jk…I had no idea. Play along with me and pretend we both knew? The real reason I can’t stop won’t stop with the peaches is because […]
I don’t know about you but I’m big fan of early Saturday morning Food Network TV, especially The Pioneer Woman and Trisha’s Southern Kitchen. Their food always looks amazing! It might put you on the path to heart problems with the amount of butter used, but I’ll take a plate of whatever they make! I […]
I’m alive everyone! I survived Mexico without getting kidnapped and murdered. Hooray! I had every intention of filling you all in on the best restaurants in Cabo and the most exciting and fun things to do…but do you want to know what happened? I turned my phone off. Granted it was only because I was […]
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 […]
