It’s been a busy Friday… You really should experience the sight that is my kitchen when I bake. I am obnoxiously messy. It’s ridiculous. So after I went out to get cupcake liners this morning, I took care of baking the actual cupcakes and got all of that cleaned up before squeezing in a little ...
First It Was Me
Finished! Just before noon today, I finished up all of the cupcakes and they’re all packed up and ready to go. I did two dozen chocolate pb cup, one dozen triple lemon (lemon cake with lemon mousse filling and lemon frosting, which turned out AWESOME – I’ll have to share soon!), and one ...
Determined To Get Up
I was absolutely determined to get up and moving nice and early today. I know I’ve mentioned it to you all a few times recently, but I have been having the hardest time getting up with my alarm. Snoozes of 30-45 minutes have been the norm…so not cool. Apparently, I was quite motivated to get up for ...
The Most Amazing Pasta Fagioli
Mmmmm. Last night I had the most amazing pasta fagioli for dinner. Would you like to know the recipe? It’s really quite simple… All you have to do is call up Testo’s and have them deliver it to you. Yes, Jay and I totally bailed on making dinner last night. I had sort of an annoying afternoon ...
An Easter Recap
Good morning! How’s everyone doing after the nice holiday weekend? Did anyone else wake up this morning with a bit of an Easter candy coma…? Actually, I’m pretty sure that mine is more of a sugar coma in general, thanks to some delicious desserts yesterday…but first let’s get you caught up on ...
Kate’s Birthday Celebration
Last night, since it was Kate’s actual birthday, we met up with her and Joey before their planned party for a little pre-birthday celebration at Bombers Burrito Bar. For those of you who are local, you probably already know about why people go to Bombers on their actual birthday…for the the free, ...
Congrats Josh & Erika!
I just love weddings! Yesterday evening, our friends Josh & Erika officially tied the knot…and had one heck of a party! The evening started off with a beautiful outdoor ceremony which, honestly, could not have been held on a more perfect night. It’s not often that you get a nice weather ...
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
I realized this morning, after finishing all 101 cupcakes for tonight’s wedding (YES, I did it!), that I have been holding something back from you all for a very long time now. I can’t even believe it. I’ve already shared my favorite vanilla buttercream frosting with you all. I’ve shared ...
Ohh I Forgot To Tell You
I think I've determined that 10-hour workdays are going to require a little afternoon pick-me-up. This afternoon, I had to run out to take care of a quick errand and lucky (or unlucky) for me, I have a Starbucks right down the road. Thoughts of skinny caramel macchiatos quickly began swirling ...
Even Better Than The Last
You know what’s a total bummer? When you set out to find something you’re looking for and you have no such luck. Yep…guess who doesn’t have any new dumbbells or sneakers yet? *raises hand* – “Meeeeee!” Ahh well. I only went to one store, and it was my own fault that I didn’t feel like looking ...
