May 2014 – Long Distance Baking
We are so excited to have the lovely girls from the Simply Living blog guest posting for us today! Just like us, they are two friends living apart who share one blog. If you have not checked out their blog, seriously go do that NOW! Then come back and see what they’ve made for us today. I’m drooling over the pictures and wishing so badly that I had a glass of sweet tea and a big helping of cobbler right now! Thank you, Suruchi and Hannah, for this lovely post today! First off, we are so … [Read more…]
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 of reading is then sharing your feelings about the book with someone else! We’re always swapping books with each other, either in person or through the mail. This time we wanted to share our … [Read more…]
Yes, you read that title right! It’s the final day of cupcake week and for the finale we bring you Circus Animal Cookie Cupcakes. Seriously, YUM!! Circus Animal cookies remind me of childhood, almost as much as Dunk-A-Roos, Squeeze-Its, Cookie Crisp cereal, Lisa Frank, Power Rangers, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Captain Planet. Can these things please come back!?! #weusedtothinksqueezeitsmadeusdrunk #teampinkranger #captainplanethesourhero #cookiesforbreakfast #90skid Sorry for the … [Read more…]

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 was so excited! I ran to Hobby Lobby and found cute cupcake holders, toppers and pink and white candied pearls. … [Read more…]
We were approached by Ashley from The Wine Stain to do a guest post on friendship and we couldn’t be more excited! And nervous, too! Writing about ourselves is so much harder than writing about cookies! We wanted to spend a little time talking first about us, and how we became friends, and also about how we are able to keep our friendship going across the miles. Here’s some of the highlights. Can you guess who said what?? I start getting really hot, kind of light-headed, dizzy…I’m going to … [Read more…]
Now I know for some, the title of this post will turn you away. That’s ok, I understand. It probably would have turned me away too but I have good reason for a gluten free post… My dad’s birthday! Last year my dad drastically changed his diet and one of these changes included limiting his gluten-intake. Something the rest of my family, myself included, have also tried to do as well. We haven’t completely cut out gluten, well because, we struggle with gluten free bread. Sometimes a good ole … [Read more…]
Strawberry season is here! Is anyone else as excited as I am?? I have so many strawberry desserts I want to make! Sorbet, pies, jam, freeze them for smoothies (aka margaritas)…the possibilities are really endless. … [Read more…]
As Kelly mentioned before, we ate so many great meals in Portland we just knew we’d have to recreate some at home! We went to a cute little Swedish place called Broder for Easter brunch and it had the most delicious bread! Not that my meal wasn’t great…I was just a little disappointed with the small pieces of toast I got. I wanted more! … [Read more…]
Hi friends!! Ever since our return from Portland (you can read about that here and here), we have been wanting to recreate some of the amazing food we ate! We started with hummus from the Blue Olive! Head over to the Simply Living where we guest posted some yummy hummus yesterday and check out their awesome blog! Happy Wednesday 🙂 … [Read more…]
