Last year on All Saint’s Day I went through and listed out some of the Saints that had a particular meaning for our family. Continue reading

Abundance and Gratitude in the Midst of Distress
I think it’s safe to say that despite it’s blessings (so thankful we are expecting another baby, so glad I’ve made new friendships and strengthened old ones, so worth it to take a big trip before the insanity of baby #2 started…) 2016 has been a ROUGH year for a lot of people. It has definitely been a rough year for my family and myself. Continue reading
Baking #42: Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes
In some ways, I wondered if I should count this, but I figured if I counted two different kind of rolls as one project, I could count using a mix as another project. Yes, I used a mix for these cupcakes… but not just any mix… Continue reading
Baking 41: PIE round 2: REDEMPTION (sort of…)
We bought a CSA box recently and received some cranberries. I have never had cranberries in their regular form before and since I’m not a big cranberry sauce fan but I do like cranberry juice, I thought I’d try my hand at baking a cranberry custard pie… that and we’re almost at the end of this project and I promised my bestie a pie when I started this blog a year ago, so I thought this was probably a sign to try out baking pie again. (aside from the Hipster Pie I made earlier, but that was a cracker crust so I don’t count it!) Continue reading
Baking #40 : THANKSGIVING ROLLS
Thanksgiving happens twice a year for us because I have parents who are separated but who live in the same state. I used to try and squish in both sets of family on the same day but it was always stressful and often disappointing to everyone involved so I love that since starting my own family we have been able to work out a way to split the day. Since I’ve been baking all year, my contribution this year was bread. a whole lot of bread. Continue reading
Baking #39: Chai Loaf
Continuing my fall flavor obsession- this chai loaf is something I’ve wanted to try for a long time. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out because once again I was missing a few key ingredients so I made a few substitutions. Continue reading
Baking #38: Bread Bowls!
It’s finally feeling like fall here in Phoenix. So it is finally time for soup weather! My husband has a theory that everything tastes better if it comes in it’s own edible container- ice cream and waffle cones/bowls, the Cozy Cones of deliciousness they sell at Cars Land in Disney’s California Adventure, and most especially soup in a bread bowl. Continue reading
Baking #37: Sugar Cookies for a Sweet Celebration!
Aside from chocolate chip cookies, sugar cookies are probably what I have baked the most in my life. Add some colorful sprinkles and they just scream simple delicious celebration to me! So I knew that was what I wanted to make last week to celebrate a day that has been a long time coming. Continue reading
Baking #36: Pumpkin Muffins
Let me tell you… I have been a hot mess recently. I have been focusing most of my energy on keeping my fearless toddler alive and on rocking it out in rehearsals so the other stuff has kind of been… yeah, I said it most succinctly the first time, a hot mess. Continue reading
Baking #35: Apple Cider Donuts
It’s still 100 degrees here, but at least fall has deliciously established itself in my kitchen. Continue reading
