I grew up in Southern Virginia in a small town (it’s actually a city, but you’d never guess that.) There isn’t much exciting that goes on in my hometown unless you visit THE museum, cruise Riverside Dr., hang out at Sheetz gas station, or go to Wal-Mart and hope you run into someone you know.… Continue reading Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
My kids are pretty picky eaters. Surprise surprise. Are there kids that don’t go through a picky-eating stage? One of my go-to dinners is a super easy white chicken chili. That’s a recipe for another day. Anyways, my kids hate it. (Don’t listen to them though, everyone else loves). Anytime I make chili, I have… Continue reading Sweet Cornbread
Wow is that a mouthful or what?! Have you guys heard of Cocoa Bar in a Jar? If you love coconut, chocolate, and peanut butter, than you are in for a treat. I reached out to this company and asked for some samples so I could come up with some a delicious recipe for you… Continue reading Cocoa Bar in a Jar Fluffy Frosting
A few years ago, my husband was interning at Qualtrics in between years at business school. We had such a fun summer there despite my awful morning sickness. One morning my husband biked off the work only to call me an hour later saying that his boss (who happened to be a good friend of… Continue reading Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes
So I started a healthy-eating challenge with some friends a while back. It’s been going great. The only problem is, you can only eat treats once a week. Sugar is my weakness. I love it so much. During my first week of doing this challenge, I thought all week about what I wanted to indulge… Continue reading Texas Cake
I’ve been to NYC one time in my life, and I loved it! My husband and I definitely ate our way through the city, but we never made it to the one cookie shop that we should have made it to. I’ve heard all about it and have seen cookies from Levain Bakery, but never… Continue reading Snickerdoodles
Everyone loves roses on cakes. At least when you’re a kid, that’s the thing that was fought over the most on the store bought birthday cake. “I want a blue rose, I want a red rose. Give me the yellow rose!” My kids still do it. The more frosting the better, right? When I got… Continue reading Simple Fondant Rose Tutorial

My husband and I gave up going out to eat on Valentine’s Day a few years back. The restaurants are over-crowded, the wait is long, and I’m away from the rest of my little loves back at home! So I had this crazy idea last year to create a cake that epitomizes Valentine’s Day that… Continue reading Sinful Strawberry Buttercream
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I’m not talking about Christmas, I’m talking Girl Scout cookie season. My neighborhood Girl Scout was out collecting orders last week, so I ordered five boxes. Don’t judge. I got my hopes up, but then they were shattered in one sentence, “I’ll be back at the beginning… Continue reading Samoa Layer Cake
