UPDATED: 5/7/18Not that there's anything wrong with the recipe below, but it's like...750 calories for one slice of pie. I love dulce de leche more than the next guy (especially since we're living in Floribama now where Mexican food and dessert doesn't exist), but I wanted to lighten this pie up for Cinco de Mayo.… Continue reading Dulche de Yummy.

Cresting the Hill…
There's nothing quite like trying to age gracefully (and quietly) while your loved ones refuse to let that happen. This is precisely why my 29th birthday was the final celebration to ever be held on record for the rest of my life (I refuse to acknowledge January 7th from here on out. Find me in… Continue reading Cresting the Hill…
A Day for Frey!
I live my life in a constant state of being bookended by two dogs. Sitting down to watch TV? Thing 1 and Thing 2 are either by my side or at my feet. Taking a shower? Hank is sitting guard while Freyja licks the shower door glass (she's special). Crawling into bed at night? You… Continue reading A Day for Frey!
One Last Chance at Mint Madness

Naturally I've been looking into Lenten loopholes with all these boozy cupcake recipes and prefacing of not drinking booze for Lent because eating it is essentially the food equivalent of a near beer...it's in there… Continue reading Saint Patrick's Day Is so Close I Can Taste It!
The Shamrock Shake Takes Solid Form
We all know that McDonald's Shamrock Shake is legit. It's one of my all time favorite (non-Blue Bell) ice cream desserts. I found when I moved here that everyone else in Clovis was already in the know about the amazingness that is this shake...so much so that most of our McD's are sold out of… Continue reading The Shamrock Shake Takes Solid Form
Top 'O the Mint to Ya.
I have regaled you all on several occasions about how I believe mint is truly one of the best things a person can add to a dessert. I also spent the entirety of last March gushing over why I love Saint Patrick's Day desserts for that reason. Well, that and the booze. Saint Patrick's Day… Continue reading Top 'O the Mint to Ya.
