Healthy-ish cake, cupcakes, pie, and cheesecake recipes and decorating tips
We had a bone chilling Halloween thanks to New Mexico taking it upon itself to have a chilly, windy, spooky day that was just the perfect amount of seasonally appropriate. It gave me great comfort to sit in the dark and hide from my greatest fear (children) while watching Hocus Pocus for the 6,575th time… Continue reading Bone-a Fide Celebrations
It's mid-October, and I am dying over the fall weather in New Mexico. Chilly walks in the morning get an A+ for spookiness because there's usually several flocks of black birds and Chihuahuan Ravens cawing from the rooftops as the sun rises, and boy, does it ever make me feel right in my creepy element,… Continue reading Bone to be Wild
Considering it's October, I'm still up to my old tricks and treats. You know, baking spooky things, watching Hocus Pocus at least once a day, and enjoying a seasonally appropriate gloomy, gray day (thank you, New Mexico!). If I had to pick, Hocus Pocus is my all-time favorite Halloween movie and has been since childhood.… Continue reading Booooooook!
The witch is back! Oh boy, it's been a real adventure since my last blog in August. We moved back out to New Mexico, driving cross country from Florida with two spazzy dogs (and sometimes two spazzy humans). After waiting almost 20 days without 98% of our belongings, our home goods finally got delivered which… Continue reading Aaahh!!! Real (Tasty) Monsters
Derek and I are gearing up for our move back to New Mexico next month. Most people hear we're headed back to Clovis from Florida and think we're insane since we're so happy to get back. What's not to like? The climate is dry, like my humor. The plants are prickly, like my personality. The… Continue reading You Desert the Best…
Did you know you're more likely to be killed by a cow than a shark? Not in a "When Burgers Bite Back" situation, but these are still good facts to know. And if you're somehow unaware, SHARK WEEK STARTS TONIGHT! I am obsessed with sharks, so next to Halloween, this is the absolute best time… Continue reading Shark Cake, Ooh Ha Ha!
Ah 4th of July--let us celebrate our independence from those stuffy tea drinkers whilst blowing things up and pigging out. I loved Independence Day until we adopted a dog terrified of loud noises; my holiday now consists less of sparklers and more of sedatives (for the dog, not me, although...). While fireworks may not be… Continue reading 'Merican as cheesecake.
Ah yes, nothing like a tropical storm to remind me that it's probably cooler in hell right now than it is in Florida. Between the wildlife, weather, and drivers, a more accurate state motto would be, "Florida- just try to live here." We may have been stuck inside all weekend, but that meant there was… Continue reading Trouble in Paradise
Some of the best things in life are French--baguettes, laughing at other people's pain, charcuterie, I could go on for days. I also feel like some of the more classy things in life are French, the language, the wines, the cuisine...I realize this is coming from someone with a largely French heritage, but please keep… Continue reading Only the Finest of French Liqueurs!
Sorry, the blog was getting a little dusty and vacant. Not for my lack of baking, though. I actually made several cakes between my last blog in March and now, but because I am 1,000% picky and 7,000% critical of myself, I didn't like how they turned out visually, so I didn't blog about them.… Continue reading Feast Your Pies on This
