Do you remember counting down the days til your birthday? Yeah, it's been a while since I've done that too. But every year I try to put myself back in that childhood mode when the countdown started the day after your last birthday. Turned 4 last week? You are TOTALLY almost 5. In my opinion,… Continue reading Under Construction Cake

Dove Dark Chocolate Chocolate Cookies
"I don't understand why so many 'so called' chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said." I have no idea who said this. I found it online at one of those portals for quotes… Continue reading Dove Dark Chocolate Chocolate Cookies
Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones
Someday I will learn how to manage a bunch of bananas. Meaning, I'll buy just the right amount that are exactly the correct ripeness so as not to have two or three that go brown on me before they're eaten. Until that day comes, I have to figure out new and exciting things to do… Continue reading Double Brown Sugar Butter Glazed Banana Bread Scones
Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze
I like to go all out on Saturday mornings. It's really the only day of the week I can do breakfast up right with all the fixins' since Monday thru Friday mornings are a mad dash of bodies, backpacks, missing socks, frantically gulped coffee and hastily applied mascara as I scramble to get my kids… Continue reading Banana Fritters with Spiced Glaze

Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
37° and raining. That's the forecast for the next week or so here in Seattle. Yuck. If it's going to be that cold, it needs to be snowing. Huge pillowy flakes dumping from the sky. Fluffy mounds of white happiness. That's what I'd like. Come on! The current weather conditions called for drastic measures in… Continue reading Cheddar Chili Beer Bread
Top Ten of 2012
New Year's resolution #1 is to get back to blogging. The whole, two kids in school at different times/becoming nothing more than a chauffeur thing has really thrown me off my game. Nevertheless, there were many brilliant recipes this year and so I bring you Bakerlady's Top Ten of 2012. By popularity (that means you… Continue reading Top Ten of 2012
Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
I love throwing Halloween parties. Mostly because I get to make delicious food and give it disgusting names. Here's a round-up of all the deliciousness I made this year and the nastiness I called it. Most of these items are easy to make (and can be done ahead of time) so you won't be slaving… Continue reading Fabulously Freaky Halloween Fodder
Oven Baked Apple Chips
First of all, my apologies for being away so long. Bad Tonya. Bad bad. I have allowed my life to become too full. Actually, I thought with both my children heading to school this fall, my schedule would free up substantially. Apparently having more time is the great lie of having school age children. Why… Continue reading Oven Baked Apple Chips
Rainbow Happiness Six Layer Cake
We had the mother of all rainbow birthdays this weekend for my sweet six-year-old Madison. My house looked like a unicorn threw up all over. It was epic fun. A hyperactivity inducing, spectrum spectacular. Brightly colored craziness. We had a blast. The pièce de résistance of the party was a stunning six layer rainbow cake.… Continue reading Rainbow Happiness Six Layer Cake
