Do you ever becoming obsessed with making something, but it just never actually transpires into the finished product?

I subscribe to quite a few culinary magazines; however, I don’t have a lot of free time, so they usually get filed into magazine organizers without much use. Sure I thumb through them and randomly mark pages with post-it notes, but inevitably the sit around and collect dust. For some reason, I just can’t bring …
I was wandering around our local farmer’s market last week when I walked past a little stand called DebHouse. I was intrigued by her perfectly folded little bags full of baked goods, but unfortunately I was short on time, so I didn’t stop. Once I got home for the evening, I did a quick search …
I love grocery stores, go figure, right? I love wandering through the aisles, checking out random spices, olive oils and fun new products. However, I loathe those mid-week quick trips to pick up odds and ends and I HATE putting groceries away. Last week, I asked Brian to make a mid-week trip to pick up …
This past Saturday was my 31st birthday…I don’t really feel older, I just hear my biological clock ticking MUCH louder! I opted for a low key night out to dinner with three of my favorite people, Brian, Jamie & Brittani. It was a great way to spend my 31st and was full of food, drinks …
Last week Mother Nature teased us Ohioans and gave us a short lived burst of spring weather. The temperatures hit the high fifties so, of course, I had to make something citrus. After browsing the web for a few minutes, I encountered a recipe that included not only citrus…but citrus and coconut. How can you …

Many months ago I was a Daring Baker; I loved testing my skills in the kitchen and baking along with some of the most talented bakers in the blogosphere. However, life got busy and I become a dropout, yep…a Daring Bakers dropout. I still drool over the recipes once they hit foodgawker and tastespotting, but …
Well, Christmas has come and gone… I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season full of family, friends, food and great memories. It is freezing here in Ohio and there is just something about cold weather that makes me crave mint… mint tea, mint bath products and mint desserts. Santa was good to me …
I have quite a few Thanksgiving dishes to post in the next week, but I wanted to start off with an amazing, simple and delicious recipe. Sweets are what I do best, so dessert was an obvious choice when deciding what my Thanksgiving kick-off recipe would be, plus my twitter peeps helped me decide! I …
With fresh cranberries being abundant in grocery stores at this time of year, I had to pick up a few bags to use in my delectable fall baking. When I saw Katy’s recipe for Cranberry Crumb Bars on goodLife {eats}, I knew this would be my very first fresh cranberry endeavor of the season. The …
Brrrrrrr, it’s gotten chilly in Ohio! So chilly we have had a fire going every night in an attempt to delay the heat being flipped on. A crackling fire and the smell of my Yankee Autumn Leaves candle set the mood for some late Friday night baking. I decided to throw together a bookmarked recipe …
As promised, here is another recipe that I have made over and over again; however, I have never blogged them. You may have guessed by the title that I am talking about Magic Bars. Let me be honest, these are not a personal fave of mine, but many people rave over them; therefore, they are …
If you frequent my blog, you may know that I am smitten with Autumn: the aromas, the clothing and most importantly the crisp, cool air. When it comes to Fall baking I am all about apples, Honey Crisp apples to be precise. If you have never experienced the deliciousness of this type of apple, pick …
Bananas. I love them, but as you may recall, I can never seem to use them up before they are speckled brown and less than appetizing on my Cheerios. However, these past their prime ‘naners are the perfect excuse to bake something delicious! Last week, I was left with a few of this type of …
