Since I knooow you subscribe to the blog updates, you will remember my obsession with fresh, local strawberries that I had at the beginning of this summer. I would have thrown a tent up and picked every last one if I had been given the opportunity [noted for next year]. Having a ton…

Oatmeal Cranberry Cream Pies
I’ve recently become addicted to the cookies at a tiny, pop-up coffee shop on campus where I work. These cookies are perfection. Ridiculously chewy, not too sweet and of course, best of all, massive. Like the size of a baby’s head kind of massive. These have become my go-to coffee companion in the mornings…
Berry Cool Ice Cream
Everyone loves a good science demo, right? A good explosion, crazy bubbles flying out of tubes, weird and creepy dissections. I may be a bit biased when it comes to the whole science being fun thing, but I can promise you that this will be the best tasting experiment you’ll ever ace! I’m going to…
Toasted Coconut Carrot Cake
Everyone likes carrot cake. Everyone. If you met someone that says they don’t, well, they haven’t had it or aren’t really your friend. With that said, I hate to admit that I had never attempted to make one myself. I know… the shame! I’ve always loved the bit of sweetness in the frosting balanced…
Strawberry Cinnamon Chip Scones
If there is a single most amazing perfect breakfast treat, it’s a scone. Not too sweet, not too boring. It’s just right. You can put just about anything in a scone and it will be delicious. After picking some local strawberries recently, I decided to toss them into some dough and make what would…
Poured Fondant Icing + Snack Cake Glaze
Once you start taking in Funfetti Whoopie Pies and Homemade Creme Puffs to work, everyone will know that you are a Julie clone and will start asking for some of the goodies. This is a good opportunity to start stocking up on IOUs with friends! Nothing says come take me to the airport at…
Funfetti Whoopie Pies
If there is anything better than sprinkles, I’d like to know what it is! Everything tastes better with sprinkles on it, especially cake! I’m bringing out my inner 3-year old with these Funfetti Whoopie Pies. We’ll transform good ol’ Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix into perfect hand-held treats. While we are at it, we’ll just go…
Monster Peep Cookies
So, Easter is now over and you (may) have piles of candy left. Let’s be honest… you probably don’t. But, imagine that you do. Maybe a few extra Homemade Peeps that you made last week after our post? If, like me, you have zero candy left (and only an upset stomach left to show),…
Homemade Marshmallow Peeps
As a P.K. (Preacher’s Kid in layperson speak), Easter was always a bit of a stressful day. Everyone would throw on their best dress; Mom would force me into some pastel sweater or children’s clip-on bow tie. You know the drill. All of this didn’t seem to matter though because, well, PEEPS®! Those delicious,…
Cinnamon Sticky Buns {w Dulce de Leche Caramel}
Waking up is hard to do…. — UNLESS you are waking up to a sweet, sticky pastry packed full of cinnamon and topped with a deliciously creamy dulce de leche caramel sauce! Actually, you probably won’t even want to sleep at all when you have these waiting for you in the kitchen.
