Yeah buddy. It’s fall. And you know what I love in Fall? Pumpkin…pistachios…and anything “spiced.” So, I figured I’d put them all together and go with it. While I try to eat whole foods and nothing processed, I can’t be perfect. I was feeling particularly lazy and found this Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake … Continue reading
WTF? Black Bean Brownies? I’ve heard of them. I was a skeptic. I thought to myself, “There are two places for black beans – 1. in soup with queso and 2. in a quesadilla.” But lately I’ve been craving sweets like nobodies business so I thought I’d give it a shot. I make bomb brownies. … Continue reading
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE cheese. I mean seriously, I LOVE IT. Since I’ve cut out all the processed crap I realized I missed Cheeze-Its – so I decided to make my own.

The technical description of what … Continue reading
My nephew requested a Batman cake for his birthday so I took it as an opportunity to do some stacking and fondant covering since I havent before. It’s a homemade stacked vanilla/white & chocolate cake with a neon yellow buttercream and homemade marshmallow fondant. All in all – I am quite pleased with my result.
I’m a sucker for alliteration. No lie. Easter came and went, but if there is an excuse for me to bake, – you betta believe I’m on it. I did a 4 layer vanilla cake with alternating pink and purple layers. The frosting is a butter cream and the grass/flowers are a marshmallow fondant I … Continue reading
Two weeks training and feeling good! Started week three this week and I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been working on my swim and using a High Elbow Catch to improve my swim. Definitely different muscles, as my forearm was sore. Ha! It’s made a huge difference already in my time, so I’m quite excited. … Continue reading
I’ll admit it, I lost all motivation throughout the Holidays. I blame most of this on bourbon and a lack of exercise and baking – oh the baking… I mean seriously – I made that. I’m not a huge sweets person, but I taste as I cook and ffs – it adds up. That was … Continue reading
