Finally Girl Scout Season is here! For a very short period I can indulge in my Tagalong and Samoa cravings simply by visiting a local Walmart or Home Depot. Without fail, the girls are there. I am pretty sure they ping me as a “sale” as soon as they make eye contact. I’m a sucker…
Raspberry Lemon Tiramisu
Do you remember that creamy delicious Meyer Lemon Curd I posted the other day? Well this is what I made with it. I was hoping that using the curd in a recipe, it would stop me from eating it by the spoonful. This is usually the case because when I start a baking spree, I…
Meyer Lemon Curd
When I got home from Costco the other day, my husband just about went nuts over one item. Meyer Lemons. Unfortunately, he does not understand the beauty in these lemons and how they are absolutely incomparable to other lemons. Even after attempting to explain why I bought them he couldn’t justify the purchase. You see,…
Galaxy Donuts
Being a food blogger, I follow quite a few food trends. There are a lot that I just question and many that I get really excited for. Galaxy Donuts get me giddy. Not quite sure why, because I am not a spacey/Star Wars/science type of gal. There is just something about creating something edible that…
Espresso Cream Cheese Brownies
After a recent day full of shopping, we decided to recharge at Coffee Bean. Upon entering, there was a large photo of their new Espresso Cream Cheese Brownies that immediately caught my eye.

What to do in Rosarito, Mexico

She is an amazing photographer and was kind enough to share all of her photos here. If you are looking at traveling to a…
Thanksgiving Turkey Roulade

Halloween Macarons
Whenever we have a ton of eggs, a batch of French Macarons is in the near future. I like making them because I usually can get two recipes out of the three eggs, seeing as how I only use egg whites for this recipe. After housesitting my mom’s house and her 6 chickens, we found…
