No one tells you how much adjusting you really have to do when you have a baby. Sure, I didn’t expect my jeans to fit for a few months (ahem… or maybe more than a few), but I don’t think I was told how long it takes for the rest of life to get back…

Super Bowl Cookies
Are you ready for the Super Bowl? I always get excited to watch the Super Bowl, but as a Baltimore Ravens fan, I am especially excited to watch the big game this year. So, naturally, I decided to decorate some cookies for the occasion. I contemplated making some Ravens cookies, but I did that a…
Cookie Decorating Essentials (WFMW)
After sharing the graduation cake I decorated over the weekend, I promised to share a few tips for decorating cookies with royal icing. I’m certainly not an expert, but I’ve decorated my share of cookies over the past few years, and I’ve found a few simple essentials that work for me. I wouldn’t decorate a single…
Graduation Cookie Cake (Take Two)
I don’t have a new recipe for you today… I have a pretty good reason, though! I was busy last week working on a graduation cake and cookies. I ended up putting most of my kitchen energy (what kitchen energy I actually have these days!) into the cake and cookies.
Polka Dot and Plaid Shamrock Cookies (WFMW)
It’s been quite a while since I shared some cookies with you… So, today I thought I’d change all of that! I’ve been in a bit of a cookie funk lately… I just haven’t had the time and energy to do much decorating. And, for me, it’s one of those things that the longer I…

Merry Christmas from Yellowdog and family…
Christmas is just a few short days away. Hopefully by now you’ve baked most of your Christmas cookies, finished wrapping gifts, and made plans with friends and relatives. So, instead of writing a Friday Favorites post with some last minute recipe ideas, I decided to let Yellowdog take over today. She’s been dying to show…
Decorating with Italian Buttercream (WFMW)
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,…
Stress Free Royal Icing (WFMW)
Last week, as I was decorating cookies for Halloween, I was reminded of the fact that I’ve been meaning to share my tips for making royal icing with no stress. After all, everyone wants to decorate beautiful cookies during the holiday season, but no one wants to fight with the royal icing. Between shopping for…
Dark Cocoa Molasses Cookies
I love to decorate cookies… And, typically my cookie of choice is a standard vanilla bean sugar cookie. My sugar cookies are both tasty and sturdy, two important qualities in a cookie! This time of year, though, I start to get antsy and feel the need to break out of the usual sugar cookie mold….
