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 these every year growing up. The recipe is from my Aunt Jacki and to be honest, I don’t know where she got it. But this is the […]

New Year’s 2012 I was visiting Stephanie in Boise where she introduced me to Huckleberry Wine… I finally fell in love with wine. When Stephanie was visiting Matt this past summer in the Grove, she brought me a bottle of Huckleberry Wine. She actually bought two: we drank one and I kept one. Since this […]

Making jam sounds like a very labor intensive and scary process, better left to Laura Ingalls Wilder and cute little old ladies…am I right? WRONG! At least for freezer jam. It is so amazingly easy!! No more making excuses. You need to make this. This was my summer project as a kid. My parents decided since I […]

Happy Cupcake Week on Long Distance Baking! You read that right, it’s cupcake week here at LDB and we couldn’t be more excited! We have 3 yummy cupcake variations this week, starting with Classic Vanilla. The idea for cupcake week came about when I was asked to bake cupcakes for my cousin’s first birthday. I […]

Confession: I have a huge sweet tooth (shocker, I know). Mostly for chocolate. I rarely ever crave candy or other sweets…but I think on a weekly basis I say something along the lines of “OMG I  need chocolate!” While I have been known to bake brownies at midnight or eat a mug cake for two […]

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 […]

Caramel. Apple. Spice. Blondies. Do these scream fall or what?! I was questioning saving this recipe for later. Figured even though I’m obsessed with everything fall already, maybe other people are still enjoying the last rays of summer. Maybe they’re not ready for fall yet. But then I realized school’s are starting up again (if not already), college […]

Growing up my family didn’t have many Easter traditions. We did the usual go to church, maybe go to the zoo when we were little, but no big huge dinner or anything. Now that I’m not living at home I haven’t adopted any of my own traditions yet either. Unless you count working… (no holidays […]
