Baking...With a Slice of Life
{Yup. Still Almond Joy Week. Woot!} I love the Dollar Tree. It’s awesome. I mean, where else can you buy cereal, greeting cards, bungee cords, an American Flag, and a pregnancy test for only $5 plus tax? Although I do have reservations about some of the foods they sell at the Dollar Tree, (perishables? um, [...]
{Psst…before we get started…did you enter my giveaway yet? No? What are you waiting for…go enter!} One of the things I love about living where I do (outside Sacramento) is how close it is to lakes and mountains. Lake Tahoe is less than two hours away, making it super easy to head to the snow [...]
Can I tell you something and you promise to stay my friend? Yes? Okay, ready? I don’t really like jelly. I never have. I especially don’t like jelly with peanut butter, like, in a sandwich. Ew. Growing up I ate plain peanut butter sandwiches. As an adult I rarely eat peanut butter sandwiches, but I [...]
As a Christmas gift, Jordan’s teacher had the kids make calendars. Each month has a theme. April’s theme is “Alligator Pie,” complete with a song and a recipe. So I couldn’t resist doing this… Alligator pie, Alligator pie… If I don’t get some… I think I’m gonna die! Give away the green grass, Give away [...]
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 new friends!) so you really [...]
I think I have a problem. Do they have a 12-step program for Nutter Butter Lovers? I’ve been using Nutter Butters a lot lately. I made ice cream, a halloween treat, and even another crust with them just a couple weeks ago. And now I bring you this pie. With yet another Nutter Butter theme. [...]
“Honey, let’s run by Ikea.” I wonder how many marital fights have been caused by that simple statement. I bet more than I could count on my hands. You know what Ikea is, right? The Sweedish mega-store that sells everything from spoons to sofas? Pretty nice stuff for pretty low prices. The catch? 99% of [...]
I am thankful for my family. For my husband and my daughter and his parents and siblings and my parents and everyone in between. I am thankful for my friends, old and new. I am thankful that I have a place to call home. I am thankful for my dog and cat. I am thankful [...]
So we got all moved into our house. There are boxes everywhere and I can’t find anything, but we’re in. My parents left (thank goodness for their moving help!) and we were looking forward to a nice and relaxing night in our new home. A glass of wine, a hot bath (for me), and a [...]
Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
