Yum We’ve been doing all the sportsy things this weekend: top golf, axe throwing, corn hole, singing with a choir….etc. (Singing with a choir is a sport if I say so.) We also celebrated our friend Josh’s birthday, so of course he needed a cake. He mentioned coffee, and the next thing I knew we […]

Delicious Cosmopolitan Cake: easy, tangy, boozy, and perfect for a relaxing summer!
Yum Welcome to Volume 9 of my Boozy Bakes series! Today, we are dipping into a classic cocktail: the Cosmopolitan. I know what you’re thinking. Two vodka-themed boozy bakes in a row? I know, I know, it’s not like me. But listen, my new cocktail book just generates so many ideas, what else am I […]
The best Moscow Mule Cupcakes! A refreshing summer recipe inspired by a unique new cookbook.
Yum Listen. I have a new favorite cocktail. I know I’m late to this party, but Moscow Mules are really good and perfect for the summer months. And these Moscow Mule cupcakes, the eighth edition to my Boozy Bakes Series, are the perfect accompaniment. Bake a batch, pour yourself a nice drink, sit out on […]
Easy Raspberry Fudge Bars: A deliciously rich bite of spring!
Yum Indiana weather likes to play cruel games with us, but it definitely seems like spring is here to stay. We’ve been enjoying hammock time, looking forward to the end of school (at last! The end of the longest year EVER!) and making plans for the summer months. I’ve also been daydreaming about all the […]
Easy Apple Cinnamon Pretzels with Caramel Drizzle: Comforting flavors for an emotional week.
Yum It was a huge week for me. I directed my first live performances in over a year, I started to engage in my new role as the choir director in another district for next year, we had daily dress rehearsals after school involving two hundred people, and I ran out of coffee on Tuesday. […]
The Best Strawberry Lemonade Cake: the perfect spring flavors!
Yum Spring is in the air! The dandelion farm in my yard is flourishing, I have totally boycotted long pants, and I have once again begun to leave sunglasses in every room all over my house. Also, the supermarket and corner fruit stands are filled with one of the best parts of spring in the […]
Margarita Mini Cheesecakes: Raise a glass to exciting new beginnings and days without diets.
Yum I feel like I’ve been living in a season of indecisiveness. I’ve been faced with a terribly difficult career decision in the past few weeks, and I have finally decided to move on to a new job after many sleepless nights and soul-searching. With similar agonizing, I found myself incredibly indecisive over Round 7 […]
Easy Italian Babka: SMASH this simple twist loaded with prosciutto, cheese, and bruschetta!
Yum I love making bread. Really, is there anything more satisfying? Such simple ingredients that seem to come together like magic to make BREAD, that carbo-loaded highlight of any dinner out. You people out there doing paleo? More power to you, but that’s a hard no from me. I need bread, I really do. It’s […]
Easy Cinnamon Donuts! Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and full of flavor.
Yum My husband loves donuts. Except, he’s incredibly picky, so it is more accurate to say that he loves one very specific type of donut from a very particular tiny donut shop in a little bitty town, the glazed donuts from Titus Bakery in Lebanon. He doesn’t eat any other donuts. However, this weekend I […]
The Best Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes: Boozy Bakes V. 6 and my “awesome new gadgets” addiction.
Yum This weekend, I was treated to a bridal shower. I was super overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support at this event, and I am deeply grateful to everyone that attended. Not gonna lie though, I also liked getting presents. I really think it isn’t fair, because I am ridiculously easy to shop […]
