I am a wife and mother and amateur baker. I've loved to bake since I was a little girl in my mom's kitchen. I love trying out new recipes or attempting to edit my favorite recipes to fit my mood. The "Crust" has always been my favorite part (whether it's a pie crust or a cookie crust or...you get the idea). Enjoy reading and hearing about all my cooking and baking adventures!

Crazy Sweet Tuesday

Mar 26, 2012

Happy Crazy Sweet Tuesday everyone! Where you can find all the desserts you didn't know you needed.

I woke up yesterday morning and realized it's a normal week. No school meetings. No events. (Hopefully) no medical emergencies. It felt nice. Let's hope it stays this way. I could use a few weeks of...

Recipe: Baby chicks in candy eggs

Mar 25, 2012

Last year, I posted Baby Peeps. Obviously, my creative apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Because this year I made Baby Chicks. I was particularly proud of the Baby Peeps recipe last year, because it was the first recipe to ever get feature...

A look back at the week in food: Whatever Friday

Mar 22, 2012

It's Friday! Yipp- Wait a minute. That means tonight is Bingo Night at school. You know, the one where I'm in charge of food? (Although, Jordan's teacher suggested we get it catered by Chick-fil-A and now I love her even more) so I just have to plan, ...

Recipe: Bunny munch

Mar 21, 2012

Life has been a little crazy lately. Why is it that, when you're super busy, things just get busier? Normally, Spring is our easy time. Once Jordan's birthday is over I can take a breath and wait for the busy Summer to start. But this year? Oh my ...

Recipe: Funfetti donuts with chocolate glaze

Mar 20, 2012

I love Andy Cohen. I mean, who wouldn't? The man's a genius. When he first started hosting reunion shows on Bravo I thought it was a little strange. Who was this guy? He was all over the place. What, did he own Bravo or something? And then I found...

Welcome to Crazy Sweet Tuesday!

Just a few things before we get this party started.

Firstly, I updated my About Page. Go check it out and tell me how awesome I am. (One of the things I told y'all about myself? I'm like being sarcastic.)

Second, I started using PicMonkey....

Recipe: Devil’s food cake batter dip

Mar 18, 2012

{Well, that title is no surprise, now is it? You've been expecting it since yesterday afternoon, no? Blogger needs to create a pop-up "ARE YOU SURE???" to deal with people like me, obviously.} When I was a kid, Santa came on Christmas. I put...

Whatever Friday

Mar 15, 2012

TGIF! I want to thank you all for your good ju-ju for my mom. She had been having some pain and the stress test was normal so they did an angiogram to check for more blockage. Thank goodness they did because her original stent was 95% blocked and need...

Recipe: Pot o’ gold cupcakes

Mar 14, 2012

Wouldn't it be cool if there really was a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? And you could hunt it down, like with geotracking or whatever it's called? A pot of gold. I wonder how much it would be worth? I mean, gold must be worth tons these days...

Recipe: Carrot cake pie

Mar 14, 2012

It's here! It's finally here! It's Pi Day! It's Pi Day! Yippee it's 3/14, Pi Day! Seriously people, I look forward to this day all year long. If you read my post last year on Pi Day, you'd already know I'm crazy. But so many of you are new (hi ne...
