Walker and I have a morning routine that really never varies during the school week- I guess that is why they call it a routine. I wake Walker up at 7- we get dressed, and he goes downstairs to fix breakfast while I make the beds. Corby on the other hand, usually gets up around [...]

Now that it is finally getting warm out and hopefully staying that way, there is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than the taste of lemon. For some reason to me, the taste of lemon always seems cool. This is a great recipe for a glazed lemon bread which is really a dessert, but [...]
Chocolate Cheese Layered Bars
Posted in Desserts on Apr 30th, 2013
I am always on the hunt for new recipes- especially ones that involve cheese or chocolate. This is the first time I have come across one that has both, and while that might be a little intimidating at first, these chocolate cheese layered bars are fantastic! It is cream cheese which is maybe better than [...]

The wedding is done, and we had a fantastic weekend! And the cake turned out well which I could not have done without the help of my dear college friend Lance!! Thanks to her secret icing recipe and talking me through some basics, it all came together! She is a fantastic baker, and if you [...]
I am getting married in 8 days. It is amazing how fast this has gone- granted I didn’t want much time between engagement and wedding, and everything is all done- except that I still have to make the wedding cake. This is the only thing that I am feeling at all stressed about, but I [...]
I just read that over 362 billion Oreos have been sold since they first came out in 1912. That statistic is very relieving since I thought that I might be partially responsible for a decent percentage of their sales. Clearly, with that many sold- I am not. However, it just proves that there are many [...]
I was at the grocery store yesterday with Walker, and he was lamenting the fact that they never have his favorite fruit- Saturn peaches of course. I told him that they were not in season to which he responded, “Well let’s just go get ice cream then.” Which actually made perfect sense to me, so [...]
In addition to the Wine & Food Festival which kept Charleston in good eats all weekend, Corby and I got engaged! Which now of course means I need suggestions on food and recipes to serve at the wedding. Not one for long engagements, April 20th is the day- yes of this year. I know most [...]
I did not stay up to watch the Oscars. I wanted to, and I planned to, but I fell asleep putting Walker to bed. To be honest, I really haven’t seen many of the movies that were nominated, so I wasn’t totally invested. But I really do love watching the Red Carpet and all of [...]
We had the best time in the mountains with friends this past weekend. With 8 kids, 6 adults and 2 snow storms it was definitely a little chaotic, but the kids had a great time sledding and building snowmen, and the adults had an even better time sitting by the fire eating and drinking. The [...]
