Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Cake
When you live in Seattle, winter and sun don’t mix. You rarely see it and when you do people flock to the outdoors and you think it was a national holiday. So you either have to go to the sun (lots and lots of Mexico and Tropical Vacations), have an artificial sun source (like a SAD lamp), or bring the sun to you in food form. And nothing says sun like citrus…specifically lemon. And nothing says I’m ready for you summer like this Lemon-Blu... Read More
Sun and Sky Yogurt Parfaits
A couple of months ago we headed down to the Florida Keys for a quick getaway. We boated, snorkeled, and ate all day long. The day always ended with dinner on the beach to watch the sunset. It was magical! I ate more Key Lime pie that trip than I can even remember. Now that's back to the grind, with schedules and responsibilities, I wanted a little reminder of our carefree, sunblock-coated vacation.   These Sun and Sky Yogurt P... Read More
Groundhog Day Cupcakes
It might sound strange, but my girlfriend's favorite holiday is Groundhog Day. Every year she decorates the apartment, buys gifts, and tunes in live to see what Phil is gonna do.  The highlight of the day though is always the Groundhog Cupcakes. She makes lots and lots of these little groundhog cupcakes to bring in to work.  This time of year is the busy season in her profession, so she ends up baking and decorating these little guys throu...

Dreamy Cookies and Cream Dip
There’s not much that’s better than a chocolate sandwich cookie. They’re practically a rite of passage for kids. And adults. Twist and eat the cream first? Dunk in a glass of milk? There are many ways to break into a sandwich cookie. In fact, people have serious rules for eating their cookies. But rules are made to be broken.... and I’m about to break those rules by making a fluffy Cookies and Cream Dip! The ingredients have a common... Read More
Gobble Up Turkey Sundae
We have all been there most likely at one point in our lifetime…the kid's table at holiday time. Some kids loved it. Some kids hate it as they feel they are not being included. Why not make all the kids (and some of the adults) want to be at the kiddie table by serving them this extra special and pretty darn cute Peanut Butter Turkey Sundae. Not only festive, but yummy as well. You could even have the kids decorate them, if you wanted to ke... Read More

Rum Cola Float with Bacon Straw
Drinking out of a bacon straw is like seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. Everything tastes better. Just enough of that salty smoky bacon flavor rubs off the straw and into the beverage you happen to be enjoying. In this case, that beverage is a rum and cola float, so the bacon straw is only enhancing an already delicious concoction. To make the unique drinking device for these Rum and Cola Floats with Bacon Straws, you wrap a p... Read More

Caramel Apple Dump Cake
Last fall I discovered the beauty of dump cake. The name is really not the most appealing (let’s be honest) but the end result – so good! I was shocked to discover that it takes about 5 minutes to put together. You literally dump the ingredients into a pan, give it a quick mix with a fork, and sprinkle it with cake mix and melted butter. Uh, I can totally do that. And so can you! I take mine to the next level with my own spiced whip... Read More
