Life got back to normal this past month after the craziness of Funemployment and starting my new job, but most of my brain capacity was taken up with work and prepping for Thanksgiving. It was also my birthday! More on all of that below: First of all, shout to all the fans of The Hills......

When it comes to my birthday cake, there are four main food groups I’m interested in: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream Funfetti, also known as RAINBOW BIT I recently made my niece a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mega Cake, so I wasn’t feeling that this year.  Plus I made this......

This month was a whirlwind of saying goodbye to one of my best friends, enjoying funemployment and starting a brand new job. Here’s what was happening on the foodie front: My friend Jen moved to Switzerland! I’m so excited and happy for her, but I was very sad to say goodbye. For her epic farewell......

I really haven’t been able to keep up with the Baked Sunday Mornings crew this year, which makes me quite sad. Now that things have settled down with my work life, hopefully I can get back on track. Plus I have a whole new group of recipe tasters/testers to impress! And here we have the......

With both peach season and my funemployment coming to an end, I decided to go out with a bang and make Joy the Baker’s Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls. This was a perfect baking project for the day before I started my new job. Lots of steps that can be worked on little by little throughout......

Does everyone out there know about FUNEMPLOYMENT?  I’m sure there are a few definitions, but for my purposes, funemployment is the space of time between finishing at one job and starting at a new one, when you have no responsibilities and can totally luxuriate in your jobless state, but with the safety net of knowing that......

I wrote the other day about how much I loved the Netflix movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and this summer I also read the book, plus it’s two sequels. You don’t really see it too much in the movie, but in the books, a huge part of Lara Jean’s life is that......

As I alluded to in an earlier post, this was the craziest month I’ve had in a long time on a personal level. I quit my job at the company I’ve worked at for the past 15 years! I still can’t even believe I did it! In September I’ll be starting my new job at......

I finally had a minute to get back into Baked Sunday Mornings this weekend, and what a perfect recipe to find on the schedule! I’ve made these Brewer’s Blondies before, and they are the epitome of Blondie perfection to me. They’re chewy, buttery and rich with perfect edges. The “Brewer’s” component comes into play because......
