Bird and Butterfly Cookies

April 28, 2018 in cookies - 2 Comments

  The colors of spring are so vibrant right now!  I just love walking through our backyard to see the tulips, peonies, and rhodies blooming.  And while getting up early for work has never been easy, it puts a smile on my face to hear the birds chirping their lovely…

Cranberry Bars

December 20, 2017 in bars - 2 Comments

Besides just the overall merriment that comes with this holiday season, one of my absolute favorite memories around this time of year is baking.  Usually I have my staples of certain desserts I like/have to make, but try to add a few new items that hopefully make it to my…

7 Layer Bars

Today hit a high of 50 degrees.  You’d think it was spring, based on all the people I saw wearing shorts and sweatshirts around downtown Portland.  It almost will be, since we dealt with freezing temperatures for about a month now.  20 degrees warmer and we’re pulling out the lighter gear…

My junior year in college, my roommate and I thought it’d be fun to have a tea party.  We made cute little sandwiches, where we cut them in small triangle wedges and trimmed the crust, had different fruit bars, and of course, a variety of teas.  Our friends came over…

Pacific Northwesterners love snow.  I say this because we don’t get it very often and it usually doesn’t last.  Yesterday was our first snow of the season, and it was a very light dusting.  My one-and-a-half-year-old son was intrigued by the large white stuff floating down from the sky and…
