HOLY MOLY I’M BACK, Y'ALL!! You probably didn’t notice (or maybe you did, and in that case iluvu) but I took a wee little (cough, 4-month) break from this little butter-filled online world I’ve created. I know. Four months. WHUT. I have no idea how it happened but...
All the flowering trees in Austin are in bloom (so, allergies are in full swing, achoo!), grocery store shelves are stocked with little marshmallow bunnies and chicks in every shade of pastel, and I’m feeling like it’s just about time to pull my white jeans out...
Hi! I’m here! I’m alive! There hasn’t been much time for baking and blogging around these parts lately, but I assure you it’s not for lack of jonesing for oven time. In the span of the last three weeks I’ve found myself in Palo Alto, Napa,...

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of KitchenAid. All opinions and text are mine. Happy Friday! I really, really can’t believe it’s already here. Seriously, I think I blinked on Monday and woot! Hello Friday! And you guys, it’s not just any...
At this point it's no secret that I love baking with breakfast cereal. (See here & here.) Partly deeply-rooted nostalgia from years spent munching away in front of Saturday morning cartoons, partly unbreakable addiction to the irresistible combination of ice cold milk and sugary crunch,...
I’d like to pretend that the timing of this cake was intentional. Carefully planned to coincide with the film release heard around the world (or at least by those of us whose formative years fell in the 1990s) – the feat of computer-generated imagery (though...
A few years ago, just a few short weeks after I had staked my claim on this little corner of the internet, I hopped across the pond for a quick week’s trip to the old sod, or as you may be more familiar, Ireland. My...
