I had been talking to my sister-in-law Misty about making a birthday cake for my youngest niece–Kendall’s–1st birthday since oh, the kid was about 9 months old. Misty casually mentioned the idea, and I’ll admit, I was crazy about it from the start. Because a first birthday party for a little girl is a great [...]

Something to add to the list of things you may not have known about Beth–I used to be quite the little athlete. I played a little bit of everything–including one ill fated season of basketball–but my main sports were softball and soccer, both of which I played for over 10 years with the Freedom Optimist [...]

Another week, another birthday! I told you all it’s a happy time of the year. Because you all know how much I love celebrating with fun people. Really, if I could make it a full time gig (well maybe with a bit of time to cook) I would! But the difference between this one and [...]

I discovered something about Eileen back when I made the homemade marshmallows–she may love smores even more than I do.

My family rocks. Really. We can not see each other for months, and then when we get together it’s hours and hours of non-stop chatting and fun. And normally, food. This past weekend, Noel and I were lucky enough to go to Slower Lower for some quality family time. Nevermind that the picture above shows [...]

My plan was to post this earlier in the week, so those who chose to could actually MAKE these FOR St. Patty’s Day. But a family emergency has had me away from home for a few days. It looks like everything is going to be okay–thank goodness–and a positive side effect is I got to [...]

On the last weekend of the month of February Noel, we had a party. And a party needs a cake. And since the party was for Noel’s 40th, it was a special cake! But really, do we make any other kind? If you’re not from Maryland, you’re probably wondering what the heck a Smith Island [...]
