One might assume that moving out of one’s parents’ house for the second time in one's life would be quite different from the first go-round. Perhaps a little more like saying farewell after a brief stay versus cutting the cord that ties you to the...
Big News! I have officially flown the nest! Yes, I moved into my very own place! Unfortunately, buying a condo, packing and moving, and then unpacking take a considerable amount of time and effort. Thus, leaving very little room for baking and blogging. I'm starting to have...
I'm officially declaring August, No Pants Month. Yes, I have the authority to do that. I wear the figurative pants when it comes to this blog-space. And here, pants are outlawed. Why the sudden aversion to pants? Well, I've been finding it extremely hard to motivate myself to...

Speaking of, back in the good-ole college days we always went to P.F. Chang's for Sheila's celebratory birthday...
Confession: I have a sloppy, passionate love affair with all things Spanish. If you tell me something is from Spain, I'm all in. It could be covered in mayonnaise (the bain of my existence) and I'd probably still love it. As long as it's Spanish mayonnaise,...
Ok, so I know what you're thinking. C'mon Katie, another berry recipe? Yes, you may have noticed that I'm a little obsessed with berry desserts lately. (Like this one & this one.) I can't help it! I'm a slave to ripe, juicy berries. In my defense, I've wanted...
