The real secret to an incredible cupcake [...]

I have good news and I have bad news. Which one do you want first? Ok, well since you can’t answer, I’ll start with the good news. I got the job I interviewed for the other day! Yeah! The bad news is that is just isn’t my dream job. Not even close to my dream [...]
Since it’s now officially February, I feel perfectly entitled to begin the countdown to Valentine’s Day! Despite my bleeding heart, Valentine’s Day just isn’t one of my favorite holidays… Don’t get me wrong – I’m not a hater. I just think that if you really love someone, you should show them every day not just [...]
Have you ever had company that was gluten intolerant and you found yourself wondering how to bake something they could actually eat? For a traditional baker, the idea of suddenly going gluten free can be a little intimidating. Especially with the confusing variety of gluten free flours and products on the market!

Those Pink Lemonade Cupcakes I made last week put me on a gigantic emotional roller coaster! Who knew!? I was super excited with how they looked once I was finished and even happier once I loaded the pictures onto my computer. They looked SO sweet, if I do say so myself… All I could think [...]

I am SOOO glad that I had the foresight to buy Milk Duds for Halloween because my kids didn’t even get one stinking box of the suckers! And that’s the first candy I steal out of their baskets when they go to bed… Instead we got like ten bazillion Twizzlers. Grody. So here we are. [...]
When I started culinary school this fall, I was really unsure of myself and my decision. I know that cooking at home, no matter how good you are, is not the same as being a professional chef. I doubted that I really had what it takes, and there was a huge part of me that [...]
This summer, after a particularly challenging year, my husband and I headed to Miami for a much needed siesta. For 10 days we had nothing to do but wake up, step out onto the balcony of the condo we stayed in, and look at this! No schedule, no kids, no plans. We took a day [...]
I was very tempted to make an anti-Valentine’s Day playlist starting off with I Don’t Need a Man by the Pussycat Dolls and closely followed by What the Hell by Avril Lavigne. But that just reeked of bitterness! I got it all out of my system yesterday and am back to my usual sappy romantic [...]
I’m so not into Valentine’s Day this year. I’ve never really been a fan of the holiday anyway, but after getting divorced it feels like a big fat slap in the face. It makes me feel kind of pathetic and lonely truth be told. To make matters worse I have to work all day. In [...]
I’ve really missed blogging. I’ve missed having a place to whine and reflect. I’ve missed the creative outlet. I’ve missed playing around with my camera and trying to master taking photographs of ice cream before it melts. Most of all I have missed my fellow bloggers.
