I woke up on Sunday and it was August! Are you serious? Where did the summer go and how can I possibly have to return to the real world in 3 short weeks? Those of you that are regular readers of MBA may recall that I work full time as a special education teacher. So, [...]

Lemon Cheesecake with Fresh Berries

July 20, 2010 58 comments

Cheesecake. I love cheesecake. It is truly one of those desserts that I simply cannot resist. I’m guessing it’s the combination of the crisp, slightly salty graham crust paired with the sweet creamy texture of the cream cheese filling. Regardless of the reason, cheesecake equals bliss in my book. Although we will pretty much nosh [...]

Peaches and Cream Popsicles

July 11, 2010 53 comments

I love peaches, but only if they are firm…meaning I hate them once they become mushy. Brian on the other hand likes them soft, which kind of makes me gag. He’s like that with many vegetables as well. I always have to pull out my corn on the cob, green beans, asparagus and broccoli far [...]

I have really never been a fan of warm fresh fruit desserts, I don’t loathe them, but they are just not my favorite. I find them to be a tad mushy and feel they often need an additional textural component like a crunchy topping on an apple pie or crisp crust enveloping sweet summer cherries. [...]

I adore blueberries…fresh out of a bowl, in my cereal and especially baked into yummy desserts…throw in some lemon and I am one happy girl. Although I love some blueberry goodness, I refuse to pay the crazy high prices I have been seeing at the market. I improvised a bit and used frozen berries in this [...]

The combination of raspberries and lemons epitomizes summer in my book. There is sweet simplicity about this flavor duo that just works together to form some seriously stunning desserts.

Brian often does our mid-week grocery shopping, I typically include a detailed list and even accompany that list with visual aids (photos) on occasion. You see, I am a self-proclaimed control freak and he is a chronic over buyer…especially when the shopping list includes meat. So, if I am not specific, he will come home [...]

Blueberry-Lemon Bundt Cake

April 5, 2010 42 comments

I like plans, to-do lists and schedules; rarely do I veer away from my “system”. Some think I am slightly obsessed, others totally relate to my anal behavior and embrace it, some even covet this part of my personality. Really I am just not a “fly by the seat of my pants” type of gal [...]
