Baking...With a Slice of Life
If you love almond, these Almond Cupcakes are for you! Filled with almonds, the cupcakes are topped with a caramel frosting that tastes like fudge! I just did something I never thought I’d do: I called the American Girl Store in LA and asked if I could schedule an appointment for a doll to get [...]
Thanks to Breyers, I was able to make this amazing Seven Layer Ice Cream Pie for you! Hot Fudge, Caramel, Chocolate Sauce, Ice Cream and a to-die-for crust…this Ice Cream Pie will blow your mind! Holy. Cow. Oh emmmmm geeee. Seriously, this is the BEST ice cream pie I’ve ever had. It’s the best one [...]
Milky Way Brownie Bites are totally addicting! A Milky Way copy cat is set upon a brownie bite – perfect for your chocolate fix! We are planning a trip to Disneyland this summer. We’re super excited, since we haven’t been in awhile. Going in summer is going to be slightly better than having a root [...]
This Chocolate Caramel Turtle Cake Roll is out of this world! A chocolate cake rolled and filled with a whipped caramel then frosted with chocolate and pecans. Turtle indulgence to the max! Have you ever been so afraid to try something that you worked yourself up into a frenzy about it and then convinced your [...]
Jordan thinks that her doll, Jenny, is her daughter. That’s how she refers to her, as “her daughter.” Deep down, I think she knows that Jenny is just a doll…but don’t you dare let her hear you say that out loud. She’s never really been SO attached to any one thing before. We got lucky [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am addicted to coffee. I like to say I “like” it instead of I “need” it, but who am I kidding? Even my daughter knows not to ask me questions in the morning until I’ve had my first sip. When our power goes out (which [...]
Well, hello. Something seems strange. Is the air different? Or…maybe you have a new haircut? Oh wait, I know what it is. I’m posting a new recipe on a Thursday night! I’ve decided I want to post more recipes. Because I’m not fat enough making you sugar, I want to make you more. And that [...]
Last week I hit the dreaded “mid-thirties.” I turned 35. Really, it’s just a number. I know. I have to check a different box on some forms. I have no problem with the fact that I’m quick sliding to 40, really I don’t. I remember the year several of my friends and I turned 30. [...]
Yesterday Jordan and I had a girls day at the mall. We picked out her “first day of school” outfit. I am still having a hard time with the fact that one, there is less than two weeks of summer left, and two, I’m going to have a second grader. SECOND grade. Which we all [...]
My husband works from home. He’s been doing it since Jordan was about 18 months old, so she’s never known anything different. In fact, she doesn’t quite understand the whole “going to work” thing. It’s kind of funny when she talks about how her friends’ dads are gone all day and have to work (since, [...]
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.
