It’s been ages since I’ve posted but I’m pleased to announce that I am halfway done with graduate school! Time has really flown by and even though this year was pretty stressful with a full-time school load while simultaneously working full time. But, I did it!! Even though I haven’t gotten my degree yet I’m still pretty proud of myself for surviving one year. And I have even more good news—I have a new job! I now work with digital media and it’s such a breath of fresh air (a

It’s been a while. School has been stressful beyond belief and my job has just been emotionally draining. It’s been hard to really sit down and write blog posts but I’ve been cooking and baking still and my camera is slowly filling up with all these pictures I keep taking. As I’ve said in my past few posts, I’ve been fairly stressed and slowly overwhelmed with just general life things. But things are looking up, I have been in the hunt for a new job and I just accepted a new

Happy New Year! I hope your 2018 is off to a great start and is filled with good fortune and good health. I have a good feeling about this year. Not sure how to describe it, but great things are going to happen. My first semester of grad school is in the books and I’m ready for adventures this year. But I can’t wait to see what foodie noms this year has for me. I’m currently working on a list of all the different restaurants I want to try and are a wide variety of recipe

So I know I have been pretty MIA and all, but did you think I would miss out on Treat Tuesday? No way! Crazy to believe this is the fourth Treat Tuesday I’ve posted, which means my blog is just about 5 months old. Time flies. For this Treat Tuesday I have a holiday special for you: Gingerbread Cookies! Since we’re now in full Christmas spirit time, a gingerbread cookie recipe seemed perfect since these are one of the most the traditional types of cookies for the holiday

It’s the first Tuesday of the month and do you know what that means? Treat Tuesday! This month’s special is a Double Chocolate Cupcake. There’s a fun background to these actually. So I found the recipe online many many moons ago—okay maybe like six years ago but I like to be dramatic every now and then—and the recipe called these cupcakes “Better Than Sex” Chocolate Cupcakes, which is a pretty grandiose statement, but I can assure you these cupcakes are sure damn deliciou

Boo! Scared you, didn’t I? No? Well you’re no fun—just kidding! Happy Halloween, friends. Even though Halloween falls on a weekday, I hope you still have the opportunity to dress up in costume. My office is throwing a Halloween party today, so I’m excited to dress up. Today I’m a broken ventriloquist doll—what do you think? One thing I really enjoyed during Halloween was trick or treating. Why is it not okay for adults to trick or treat too? I want candy! Now being

Happy Treat Tuesday! I can’t believe September flew by that quickly. This whole year actually seems to be rolling by pretty quickly and so far, it’s been a pretty great year. I mean—I’m already in my second Treat Tuesday of the blog and my blog is about two months old! I first want to thank you all for visiting the site. It can be a bit scary just opening up to everyone on the internet and putting yourself out there, but the encouragement I’ve received from family, friends, a

I wish the weekends were longer. Two days doesn’t seem enough time to do all the fun things I want to do or even enough time to catch up on sleep. Although I did find the time to bake this weekend. These past few weekends I have been on a baking/cooking spree. What can I say? It’s just so much fun. So I went apple picking nearly two weeks ago and I still have apples left over! I’m running close to the end of my apple haul, but they just take up so much of my already limite

My senior year of undergrad, I only had classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, which meant I had a lot of free time on my hands—and I mean a lot. I used most of my time pretty wisely studying and going to class, but even then I only had two classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Mallory also had time to kill, on Tuesdays in particular. So what did we do with all this extra time? We baked! It soon became a weekly tradition known as “Treat Tuesday,” and I’m bringing Treat Tues

Even though the first day of fall is officially September 22, fall is already in full swing for me. Football season started this past weekend, the weather is cooling, and I have so many fall activities planned! Like apple picking, my favorite fall thing. What’s better than taking a trip to a lovely orchard, picking your own apples, and then baking oodles of fall apple treats? Hard to think of something that could top that—I know. Spending a few hours outside wandering around

It’s Friday Eve, and I’m so ready for the weekend. I start grad school next week, and my stress and anxiety are slowly building up the closer it gets to the first day of class. I’m excited for school, but I have some lingering feelings of jumping back into that environment after being out of it for three years now (ouch . . . undergrad feels like yesterday). So when I get stressed or need to distract myself a bit, I bake! One of my favorite people to bake with is my goofball
