Oh hey, 2013. You’re just around the corner. You’re going to be a good one, I just know it. You know how I know? Because 2012 was a ca-razy year. Truth be told, it was a bit of a rough one. There were some really good ups, but there were a lot of downs. We [...]
So… this happened. And I am oh so glad it did. You see, for me, the day after Christmas is kind of a downer. All the presents have been unwrapped, Jesus has been born and we’ve already eaten all the delicious Christmas cookies/ham/wine our bellies could handle. The trees and twinkle lights and decked halls [...]
After last week, I think we can all agree that I could accurately rename my blog, “Girl Versus Carboloading.” The story is told by me, Girl, who tries to fight off* all the urges to devour cookie pies, granola and pan rolls in a single sitting but it is all in vain. And then here [...]
YOU GUYS. Something happened to me the other day I just have to tell you about. Something big. Something completely out of the ordinary.

I’ve got something to say about these mini banana cream cookie pies (are you surprised?). See, in case you haven’t heard me blather on about my seriously unfortunate banana allergy, allow me to bring you up to speed. I’m allergic to bananas. There you go. But what’s worse is that I am therefore allergic to [...]
Blame my sweet tooth or my insatiable need for road trip snacks and something to put on top of my yogurt — I have a serious weakness for granola. In the constant battle of my life heretofore known as What Shall I Eat For Breakfast Today, which has been waged every day for the last [...]
Oh yes. Yes, I did. See, there is nothing more festive than a food baked into the shape of a wreath. NOTHING, I tell you. So go ahead and make fun of me for getting all up in the holiday spirit — but you’ll be missing out on this magic.
(This giveaway is closed.) Sometimes I feel like I’m not completely honest with you. Sure, I blather on a good deal about tartlets, quick breads and epic baking fails. I even post a few pictures of my travels from time to time or tell you when I haven’t shaved my legs. But I don’t always [...]
