I have a confession and I don’t know if I dare admit it. I might be ridiculed. Ok, I’m just going to say it: I don’t really love Halloween. Don’t hate me! There are a couple of reasons why it is my least favorite holiday. 1) I hate dressing up. I never have a costume…

Pumpkin Dump Cake
Pumpkin Dump Cake. The best dessert ever. To me, pumpkin dump cake IS autumn. To me, its tradition and comfort and family. This is a recipe that my mom has been making since I was young. She got it from a neighbor long ago and then made her own tweaks to make it even better….
Homemade Sugar Sprinkles (Colored Sanding Sugar)
This was one of those things that I thought up all on my own. I was super excited about it and went crazy one afternoon making color after color. After I made a bundle of colors, I decided to see if anyone else had thought of making their own sanding sugar. After a quick Google…
Pumpkin Doodles (Pumpkin Snicker-doodles)
There are certain perks that come with having a job. For starters, an income. Not to mention health insurance, paid vacation, employee discounts, etc. Now if only I could find a way to get all of that, without actually having to do the working part. And as I have discovered time and time again, one…

A few weeks ago, my husband and I were both doing our own thing in the same room. I think I was actually just sitting there pondering and he was putting away dishes or something productive. I was deep in thought and after quite awhile of silence, I loudly announced, “I want to make a…

Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Popsicles
I’m back from my little vacation from blogging. I went a little while without posting. I have had some very time consuming things come up in my life recently and I just haven’t had the energy to make time to blog. I don’t know about you and where you live, but here in Columbus we…
A Bunny Baby Shower
I recently helped throw a baby shower for my good friend Alyssa. She is decorating her nursery with bunnies and chose the color theme of green and brown for the shower. I made my favorite sugar cookies with royal icing and some chocolate cup cakes with bright green cream cheese frosting. Brown Sugar and Spice…
Mango Lassi
I have to admit, I didn’t actually know what a mango lassi was until last summer. Never even heard of it. Then one day I went to an Indian buffet that had endless mango lassi as part of the buffet. I think that was all I ate at the buffet. Glass after glass of the…
A Week of Marshmallow Treats: Oreo Marshmallow Treats
Do you know that kind of sneaky feeling you get when there is something delicious close by and you have already had your fair share of it, but you continue to slice off tiny pieces? Pretty soon all those tiny pieces that you have snitched add up to another whole piece or two. That’s me…
