First, I want to apologize. I totally meant to set up a bunch of posts to automatically appear while I was on vacation. But I only did two. Then I started packing and cleaning my house and when I was done I realized I should probably sleep at least like, two hours before we tried […]
This smoothie is the reason we don’t have a rug in the living room anymore. The fact that I am still making it, despite the Blueberry Smoothie Incident of 2010, should tell you something. The recipe comes from the New York Times. It actually is a bit like a lassi (the yogurt drink you can […]
One of my best friends recently had a baby. Hilary and I lived across the hall from each other our freshman year of college at University of Georgia, and then lived together for the next three years. Her husband, Matt, is also awesome and is one of the biggest UGA fans I know. So, clearly […]
When I first saw this recipe on Tyler Florence’s website, I wasn’t sure if it was a recipe for baby food or regular food. He does both. And while I know nothing about babies and their eating habits, I would have to guess this would work as a baby food item. But it also works […]
I talked to my friend Aaren for the first time in a long time a few weeks ago, and after talking about a lot of other stuff, she mentioned that she and her sister Jenna read my blog and were wondering why I was posting things like Mexican wedding cakes when I am supposed to […]
So, those cupcakes were really cute, but I gave them all away at work. Then we decided on Saturday to have people over on Sunday. I know nothing says Independence Day like a flag cake, but I had pie on the brain this year. I figured a raspberry-blueberry pie would be delicious and patriotic. Doesn’t […]
I was thinking about making a three-layer cake for the Fourth of July — one layer red, one layer white and one layer blue. But I figured cupcakes would be faster and more easily share-able. And I was inspired by the rainbow cupcakes Isabel made a while back. Plus, I didn’t think Team America-themed cookies […]
Hello all! And Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends! I am working on getting some July 4th foods made and posted (Red, white and blue cupcakes coming soon — hopefully tonight), but in the interim, I wanted to direct your attention to a few things that might work for your patriotic picnic/jaunt to the […]
As many of you may recall, my mom’s mother died unexpectedly on Halloween. My other grandmother had not been well for a few years, but she became really ill last week. My parents and I were able to go and see her in the hospital in Charleston, S.C., before she died late Friday/early Saturday morning. […]
I love bathing suits. Especially colorful bikinis. I buy the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue every year just to see the bathing suits. And my swimsuit drawer is overflowing with all manner of chlorine-scented lycra. Of course, right now the only bathing suit I am wearing is navy blue and super boring. But hopefully I will […]
