My weekend projects were pretty domestic this time around. I spent most of Sunday making the most delicious dessert ever! It was totally worth the whole day ordeal project! I love almonds and plums and I kept seeing so many fab looking plums in the stores lately that I decided it was finally time to [...]
Joel and I kept talking about strawberry shortcake all week so I finally picked up some delicious strawberries and made one. It tasted like summer and was so good I had to share with you! I used this recipe from Mary Nolan: Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds strawberries, quartered 5 tablespoons sugar 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons [...]
I love this adorable idea for mini cobblers that Megan from Not Martha came up with. She made them for a bake sale, which is the sweetest idea ever! And I think they would be perfect for gifts or a fun contribution to a party (it’s always so much more fun to take something homemade [...]
I hope you’re all having a happy Sunday! I’m about to bake a batch of cookies and I remembered that I need to tell you about these wonderful scone mixes that I was lucky enough to sample a week or so ago. Lindy’s Delights is a brand new Etsy shop with the most delicious scone [...]
Yesterday we spent pretty much the whole afternoon in the kitchen making some super delicious food. I made Jamie Oliver’s crispy asparagus and potato tart.

Here are a few pretty little projects to keep you busy, in case spring showers are keeping you inside this weekend. (Don’t worry those flowers are coming soon!) How amazing do these blueberry crumb bars look?! Adorable felt pillow how-to from Purl Bee
I love to bake and I like to try new recipes, but there’s nothing better than whipping up an old favorite. You know, the kind of recipe that you don’t even have to look up, you’ve made it so many times. One of my old favorites is a recipe for chocolate & peanut butter scones [...]
I try to spend a little bit of time baking each week. Last week I was making some delicious chocolate chip cookies with toffee bits (my new favorite cookie combination!) when I saw this aaaamazing chocolate pudding pie on Smitten Kitchen. I think I definitely need to make one this week!
I think I have officially found the very best chocolate chip cookie recipe! I got so much done this weekend! The planning phase for my shop‘s fall line is officially done. Yay! I’m so excited about it! And we had some fun too: I made a few more pages for my art journal, got to see [...]
