Summer is officially here! That means soon there will be all kinds of fresh berries available! Yippee! I'm really more of an autumn girl - actually, around the end of May I start looking forward to sweaters, colorful leaves, hearty soups and the smell of new school supplies. It's a sickness. Add it to the… Continue reading Rustic Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake Tart
Top 10 Drinks for Summer
It's the last day of school in my area. Time for relaxing by the pool during the day, languid summer evenings, beach parties, bar-b-ques and camping trips. It occurred to me the other day that while I've shared many of my favorite drink recipes in the past few years, it might be nice to compile them… Continue reading Top 10 Drinks for Summer
Dirty Vodka Martini
Any day is a good day for a dirty vodka martini. June 15th is an exceptionally good day. It's the day I remember a man named Jeffrey. Most called him JD. He was my husband's dad. I called him Jeff. He just referred to me as "the girl". He was funny and crazy and I… Continue reading Dirty Vodka Martini
Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
I've heard tell that before there were slow cookers, women actually stood all day long in the kitchen. On their feet. Stirring, stirring, stirring. Checking meat and basting in an eternal loop. What kind of sick twisted world must that have been? I'll tell you what. My Crock Pot love affair prior to homeschooling looks… Continue reading Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken
Perfectly Juicy Hamburgers
This post is going to upset some people. People like Ron Swanson, who think that a burger should be made of meat...and nothing else. On this one point (and pretty much nothing else...I love you RON!) I disagree. I think that burgers should taste amazing, and be incredibly juicy without serving them mooing on the… Continue reading Perfectly Juicy Hamburgers

Hopefully it will help keep people (who are not me) from passing off my stuff as theirs. Sometimes I'm so disappointed in humanity. Also, just above the actual recipe details, you'll… Continue reading Genius Golden Grahams Smore Bars
Robbed, Impersonated and Pissed Off
I just have to warn you that I'm extremely angry right now. I came home from a lovely Memorial weekend of camping in the great outdoors to find that someone has stolen content, copy and photos from Bakerlady and passed it off as his own. So here's my great big "you thieving rat" post. "Boy… Continue reading Robbed, Impersonated and Pissed Off

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! I have never tasted a better chocolate chip cookie than this recipe produces. They are chewy, soft, packed with rich flavor and bursting with chocolatey goodness. The recipe comes from America's Test Kitchen and utilizes melted butter and a unique shaping technique to produce craggy stay-soft oversized cookies. You… Continue reading The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie
