Baked Bree

What I really should call this ice cream is “Kitty Cat” ice cream. My children are getting to the point where homemade ice cream is no longer impressive to them. They are so jaded. I try to tell them that not all mom’s make their kids ice cream from scratch. But they don’t believe...

My mom is amazing. Sure, she makes me crazy sometimes, but she is a driving force in my life, and I am proud to call her my mother. Here are 10 reasons (in no particular order) why she inspires me everyday: 1. She taught me how to be a mother. She has taught me...

We recently have started a new little tradition. For the last few months, we have been going out for a late Sunday brunch. Even though I am not a huge breakfast eater, I do like to eat breakfast food later in the day. We try to go someplace different every week, but we keep...

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream The Scharffen Berger Twitter Party that is! Today was one of those days when I had a million things to do. A to-do list a mile long, and not enough hours to get it all done. I had to take Clay to the doctors first thing for a pre-op...

Last spring, I went to a blogger event at Grange in Sacramento. We went to the farmers’ market across the street, bought ingredients, went back to the restaurant, and the chef made us an incredible lunch with our purchases. I loved everything about it. It was during peak strawberry season, and the pastry chef...

I promised you something to do with the lemon curd that you might have left over, didn’t I? Well, I delivered. In a big way. These lemon raspberry pancakes exceeded my expectations when I made them over the weekend. People ask me all the time, “where do you get ideas for your recipes?” Well,...

Did y’all have a good weekend? We had a fabulous one. We are doing the big pre-move purge. There is something very rewarding about downsizing and organizing. I like moving to a new place and being semi-organized when we get there. It makes the whole process so much easier. The kids seem to adjust...
