I’m absurdly late on this post, but better late than never! Opportunities for writing have been few and far between thanks to tourney season, the NBA playoffs (go OKC!), and work bleeding into my free time. I wanted to make a little treat for St. Patty’s …
I’m severely backlogged on posts due to some fun and not-so-fun distractions stemming from the last few weeks, but I’m trying to make some headway here! Jared’s New Year’s resolution for 2012 was to only eat desserts that were homemade, so Bernie and I wanted …
Where does the time go? As promised in my last post, here are the Pineapple Upside-Down Cupcakes I made for Crystal and Dave’s surprise luau-themed Sho-Yu baby shower. Being the meticulous direction-reader that I am, I purchased double the ingredients knowing I’d need enough for …

Who loves them some Christmas?! Unlike the retail stores who throw up their decorations after Halloween (really?), I usually don’t start feeling festive til a little closer to said holiday. I got the idea for these Grinchmas Cookies from a post I saw on Pinterest, …
