I have a weakness for weekend breakfast. I don't eat eggs, so that tends to scratch out most of the savory options (except hashbrowns and bacon, and boy do I love the bacon). What's left is sweet confectionery breadlike products. Crepes, pancakes, buns, rolls and french toast. In fact, through most of my college years I lived [...]

Have you ever ordered a Brown Cow? Well, its one of my favorite things ever. A brown cow is really just a rootbeer float, but with the rootbeer and icecream mixed together like a shake.

Immediately I thought of chocolate covered strawberries. They are so decadent and romantic in color, sweetness and overall fanciness. The strawberries were [...]

I am not a soap maker. The people I see at the farmer's market are pros. They've got pantries full of crazy ingredients, awesome molds and pretty packaging. They know all the fancy chemistry and the do's and don'ts of a professional hard cured soap. I do not. In fact- soap making seems a little [...]

Holy New Year Batman! Its hard to believe that it is almost 2013. I've been bumming around my mom's house for the past week, hanging out with family, doing some DIY redecorating in my brother's bedroom and all in all taking it easy.

The holiday season is full of overly sweet, overly fattening and generally good for nothing desserts. I say good for nothing, but really, they are good for being DELICIOUS. So, I thought I'd try my hand at something a little less heavy. My mother in law makes a no-bake cheesecake that my husband adores. Its mostly [...]
