Okay, I don’t know about you, but December is a really busy time of year for me. And it’s not just Christmas–my husband’s birthday is also in the middle of December! Plus, with baby Jake hanging around, demanding us to cuddle with him and coo with him, it just seems like the whole month passed […]
Guess what!? I’m a MOMMY! Little Jake couldn’t possibly be more adorable if he tried. Dave and I are busy adjusting to life as parents…and let me just say it has been an adventure so far! Our little guy is so amazing, and we are so happy that he has *finally* joined us!
Yay! It’s Fall! Let’s celebrate by eating as much pumpkin-inspired food as possible! Let’s wrap our houses in oranges and reds and put various gourds in our front porches. When I whipped the season’s first can of pumpkin out of my cabinet, the first thing I wanted to make was this pumpkin roll cake. It’s […]

That’s partly because if you stack them together, it will be very difficult […]
What can I even say about this amazing cake? Chocolate, coffee, and vanilla batters, all mixed together to form one single cake? Get outta here! I hesitate to call it a breakfast food, because it’s really full of butter and sugar and other unhealthy but delicious ingredients; it might really be better as an after-dinner […]
Whoah! July has whizzed by! Did you know that July is National Ice Cream Month? And to think, I almost let the whole month slip by without making any ice cream! In my defense, when a pregnant lady wants ice cream, she usually wants it right now…and that tends to lend itself better to buying […]
So. I’ve been completely AWOL lately. I’ve been a bit distracted, what with starting a part-time job as a German teacher, finishing up my semester at grad school, and BEING FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS PREGNANT!
