This winter season has been amazing and I'm sad to see it go. Of course, I cheated a little and missed out on some of the coldest and snowiest days in D.C. while I was in Norway, where it was ironically above freezing all but one of the days. I was very fortunate this winter to get some time in on the slopes. I just love...

Last year, my friend traveled to Japan and brought me back an adorable set of cherry blossom cookie cutters. We've been working together to build up both of our cookie decorating skills, and it's the beginning of cherry blossom season here in Washington, D.C. so what better time to try out these cookie cutters!

It's the tail end of Girl Scout Cookie season, so I had to get a cookie-themed cupcake on this month's baking agenda. Last year, I tackled my favorite cookie - the Tagalong, or when I was selling them, the Peanut Butter Patty. This year, I decided to make a cupcake after one of the most popular cookies: the Samoa. I'm ok with...

Of course, it would be easiest, at least in the beginning and rather than going out on my own, to find a conduit that would give me...

I wanted to share with you some of the things that I have been obsessed with or am extremely grateful for recently.
1. Black Mirror from Netflix - Yes, I finally re-subscribed to Netflix, well the streaming service at least. I stopped my subscription years ago when Netflix went from providing the streaming TV as part of the regular DVD...

Still trying to find good uses for my 6-pack of Guinness I got at the grocery store last week, I turned to my absolute favorite baking site: Sprinklebakes! And she didn't let me down. Once I saw the gorgeous photos of her Guinness Pretzel Truffles, I was intrigued. Plus, I've been sharing a lot of my recent baking projects...

St. Paddy's Day is only days away, which means I impulse bought a 6-pack of Guinness on my last grocery run, and I've been trying to find fun new ways to make a stout-based baking project. There's the standard combination of stout with irish cream, which I've been happy with in the past, but I am a sucker for salted caramel, so when I found...
