Baking...With a Slice of Life
These Mocha Brownies with a Crust are an amazing brownie infused with Gevalia coffee for a great afternoon pick-me-up! I love having parties. I think I always have. I would much rather host a party than go to one – that way the control freak in me can hoard every single detail. If you ever [...]
{This post is brought to you by King’s Hawaiian.} These lemon bars are thick, rich, and full of white chocolate and lemon flavors. Plus…they have a crust made out of King’s Hawaiian Dinner Rolls! You know how much I love lemon. And you know how much I love bread. It was only a matter of time [...]
When I was two, I fell on my face and killed my front tooth. It required a root canal (which is my first memory) and I then lived with a green front tooth until, oh, I think first grade. I had braces twice, the second time having to have four adult teeth pulled. When I [...]
Are you ready for some Football? Honestly? I’m not really. Football is just…not my thing. My husband? Is another story. Last weekend he did his annual boys’ trip. He went to Arizona, where most of his “boys” reside. The point of his trip? Fantasy Football. If you remember last years’ post, he’s commissioner. He makes [...]
Today was Jordan’s first day of second grade. I got a little sad. And then I realized something. She’s gone! At school all day! I kinda felt like that lady in the empty-nester commercial, the one who redecorated her kid’s room as soon as he left for college? It’s amazing the difference that happens to [...]
I know. Another treat in a jar. What can I say? They’re cute, portable, and single-serving. You can’t get much better than that! I know I’m about a year late to the “jar craze,” but hey, I never did follow trends. I never had a pair of Keds with the blue label torn off. I [...]
{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, [...]
Raise your hand if you link up to a gazillion linky parties every day. {Hand raised.} Keep your hand up if it takes a long time because your computer is absurdly slow and it makes you want to throw it out the window. {My hand is still raised.} Now, keep it up there if you [...]
{Well, that title is no surprise, now is it? You’ve been expecting it since yesterday afternoon, no? Blogger needs to create a pop-up “ARE YOU SURE???” to deal with people like me, obviously.} When I was a kid, Santa came on Christmas. I put out cookies and milk that were gone in the morning. I was [...]
Last Thursday I had one of those mornings. It all started going south when my computer decided to channel it’s inner turtle. It was running so slow it took me an hour to do what should have taken 15 minutes. Then Jordan was taking her sweet time getting ready to go to school. By the [...]
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.
