When I was about nineteen, I used to work at the mall. There was one kiosk that sold candied pecans and the sweet smell would lure you right to them! I took a chance on this wonderful sweet smell, never having tried them before, and quickly fell in love with this sugar coated nut. Around […]
‘Tis the season for baking sweet things that taste like memories! During this time of year, so many of us bring out those old recipe cards or whip up something we know by heart, something that might have even been passed down through the family that reminds you of Christmas past. Those are my favorite […]
We are knee deep in baking season and it’s far from over! When there’s even the idea of cooler weather, I love to think of a few goodies I can bake. At least that’s what I used to think! Back in the Summer, I discovered the baking urge hit me quite a bit and it […]
The DeLorean has hummed to life, the flux capacitor is on, we’re reaching 88 miles an hour, and – whoosh – we have left a trail of blazing hot tire streaks on the ground, arriving to October 2017! We’re on our way to Stribling Orchard to go on an apple picking adventure in the mountains, […]

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at making my very own hot Apple Pie. It seemed to be like a pretty big project to me and I would always be impressed by those who actually committed to the task and had a warm pie with golden crust that they made with their own two […]
This year marks the very first year I’ve ever been Apple Picking. For someone who loves Autumn, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to make that happen! David and I went to visit his sister and her family this past weekend and had the best time enjoying each others company while we all […]
I meant to post this a few weeks ago – what I’m calling my “Fall Cake Pops”. I was so excited about Fall officially arriving, I wanted to celebrate with a fun festive baked good. I used Red Velvet cake mix, orange and yellow candy wafers, brown ribbon, and the best part – leaf sprinkles! […]
