4th of July Dessert Ideas

June 28, 2020 in bars, brownies, cookies, misc. - No Comments

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. In the Pacific Northwest, it seems to mark a turning point in the weather. It’s like summer has now officially arrived. (Although more times than not, we have low 70-degree weather and FREEZE watching the fireworks.) Another reason I love this…

Spring Fondant Toppers

April 19, 2020 in cupcakes, misc. - 2 Comments

Our neighborhood got together last Sunday afternoon. We grabbed out chairs and sat around our cul-de-sac, keeping our 6 foot distance. It almost felt normal. We chatted, laughed, and ate. I made vanilla cupcakes with these spring fondant toppers to share with everyone. If you’ve never made fondant toppers, they…

Dinosaur Birthday Party

August 16, 2019 in Chilled Desserts, cookies, misc. - No Comments

My son, Matthew, turned 9 last month and wanted to have a dinosaur-themed birthday party.  Specifically Jurassic Park. (For his 5th birthday, we had a dinosaur party, but wanted to make this one different.) He really wanted decorated cookies and dirt cake.  I made T-Rexs, triceratops, and brontosauruses.  Trying to make…

Easter Dessert Ideas

April 17, 2019 in misc. - 2 Comments

I still haven’t figured out exactly what dessert I am going to make for Easter dinner, but I have an idea.  Well, a few ideas.  Okay, scratch that.  I haven’t decided because I struggle making decisions.  My husband loves lemon, my mom loves chocolate, but few in my family love…

Energy Bites

July 23, 2018 in misc. - No Comments

I am always amazed at the amount of energy children have.  We went camping last week in 90+ degree weather and the kids were running around, riding their bikes, and playing frisbee–all in the ridiculous heat.  I sat in the shade and just watched.  (Just look at their hot, sweaty…

Potato Salad

June 25, 2018 in misc., salad - No Comments

Picnics and barbeques are some of my favorite summer activities.  Our summers in the Pacific Northwest are pretty mild, so we take advantage of all opportunities to get outside and enjoy the sun.  The kids have just figured out how fun squirt guns are, so I feel like I am…

Matthew’s 7th Birthday

August 8, 2017 in cakes, misc., musings - 1 Comment

Seven is supposed to be a lucky number, I told Matthew today.  So, since you just turned 7, this should be a really great year.  He was unimpressed.  I’m slowly, and sadly, beginning to realize that the older he gets, the more uncool I become.  When did being 7 get…
