You don't need an ice cream maker to churn a batch of this delicious ice cream! Packed with Cookie Butter, rich and creamy, this is an ice cram that you will love. Apparently no-churn ice cream is a thing, a big thing. This might be the most dangerous fact I've ever learned. In the past…

I had so much fun this week celebrating my sister’s graduation! On Wednesday, my parents picked me up for our road trip to Boston and we enjoyed a couple of days eating our way through town. Actually, I didn’t get to do as much fun Boston eating as I would have liked, but we did…

My Feelings on Closing a Business
Posted on May 22, 2014

Happy weekend! Today I’m off to deliver a very special wedding dessert spread. A wedding “cake” made of brownie and blondie layers plus little buttercream-frosted brownie and blondie bites.

These Blueberry Buttercream Cups are the perfect no-bake chocolate treats. They are so easy to make. I think I might be a little obsessed with buttercream candy cups now. First there were the Mint Cookies and Cream Buttercream Cups and then I made these Pretty in Pink Buttercream Cups. The thing is, this is such…

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all of the mom’s out there! I can only aspire to be the caring and supportive mom that both my mother and mother-in-law are. Both of them, while maybe not from the most lovey-dovey of upbringings, are amazing, hard-working women who spent the last 30ish years putting their children’s happiness…
