Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet? I think I may actually be done… I have a gift card or two to pick up at the store next week, but that doesn’t really count, right? It’s a good thing that I have my shopping done, because now I have lots of baking to…
Something about the holidays always gets me in a decorating mood. I love it all, from decorating the Christmas tree and the house to decorating cookies and cakes… But, as you might have guessed, I especially love the cookies and cakes! A few weeks ago, I shared my simple method and recipe for royal icing,…
I’ve spent the week talking about ideas for holiday entertaining. So, I thought I’d continue the theme for this week’s Friday Favorites! Whether you are hosting a big holiday party or a small dinner for a few friends, I think these recipes are sure to be a big success…
Thanksgiving is now less than one week away! Oh my! Despite the fact that I’ve been thinking about food for Thanksgiving for a few weeks now, it seems that I haven’t really made many decisions regarding what I’m actually making.

I love bundt cakes… They are kind of like the tom boy of the cake world, but in a really good way. It’s not much of a secret to anyone who knows me that I can be a bit high maintenance. I’m not much of a tom boy at all. I am the girl who…
As many of you know, I’m headed to the Big Summer Potluck (#BSP2) this weekend! So, since I still need to do some laundry, pack, and wrap up 75 gluten-free sugar cookies I decorated for the event, I’m going to keep this short! I’m sure I’ll be sharing all fo the details about the event here…
Last year I made a few too many batches of this spiced peach butter… Though I gave it away to friends and family and have used some myself, I still have quite a few jars on the shelf in my basement. Since I fully intend to do plenty of canning this summer (and you can…
