Baking...With a Slice of Life
This post is sponsored by Minted.com. There are so many Chocolate Cupcake recipes out there…but these are seriously the BEST Chocolate Cupcakes I’ve ever tasted. The frosting will knock your socks off…so be prepared! Reasons I love internet shopping: “Prices” seem inconsequential. If it’s on the internet and you use a credit card, that means [...]
Perfect for your Cinco de Mayo party, these Sopapilla Cheesecake Hand Pies are a baked version of the popular treat – using pie crust! My 22nd birthday was way better than my 21st. Before you all go assuming I had too much fun on my 21st birthday, if you know what I mean, I can [...]
So, it’s conference week at Jordan’s school. They have half days all week. Actually, they had a half day a week ago Monday (for report card preparation) then another half day last Friday for the start of conference week, then this Monday just past was a holiday (Veteran’s Day) and now they have half days [...]
I love watching television. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. It’s one of the reasons I love the Fall so much: new shows. While my husband makes his Fantasy Football spreadsheets, I make my TV show grid. (Hey, a DVR can only tape two things at once!) Of course the TV comedies (Modern Family, anyone?) [...]

Last week I celebrated my 34th birthday. I really can’t believe I’m 34. I mean, I don’t feel a day younger than 38. (Just kidding.) Age doesn’t matter to me at this point. I know, I know, ask me when I’m 40 and I might sing a different tune. So many of my friends had [...]
I love Valentine’s Day. As a young (single) adult I hated it (as do most young single women, I suppose). Once I met (and married) my husband I loved Valentine’s Day because we’d go out to dinner, have a romantic evening, and I’d get flowers. Once my daughter got to be a few years, old [...]
If you haven’t already guessed, I love sweets. A lot. Sure, I like me a bag of chips now and again, but usually when I go for a snack it’s got sugar in it. So my sweet tooth was feeling left out of the Super Bowl Snack planning. Chips and dip are a staple for [...]
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.
