Raspberry Jam Bars



I've always been big into breakfast. I don't know why, maybe it's the fact that you can combine savory and sweet flavors into one meal, maybe it's because hash browns always seem to cure a hangover, or maybe it's just because every breakfast food is DELICIOUS. In any case, one of my favorite breakfast items is a nice warm biscuit with jam. But last night at 7pm I wasn't really feeling up for making biscuits so I broke out my food processor and made these instead.

Coconut Macaroons



If you've read any of my blog posts you know that I have a slight obsession with chocolate. Well not far behind is my love for coconut. I've posted a recipe for my favorite French Coconut Pie and now, I'm writing about on of my favorite coconut + chocolate snacks.

Chocolate Stout Cake


Every St. Patrick's Day I see desserts incorporating stouts and bailey's and other Irish liquors. We all know that St. Patty's Day is pretty much all about drinking, but I never really understood the need to mix baking and alcohol. Until today.

Pi Day


Happy Pi Day!!! This is my first year celebrating and I am excited to share with you my completely homemade recipe. Since Pi Day was so close to St. Patrick's Day I decided to do a grasshopper pie to incorporate both. However, I slightly misjudged the amount of food coloring I needed so it is more of a hint of green pie, rather than neon green. But you live and you learn. In any shade this pie is extremely delicious and for those of you who are mint/chocolate fans this will be your new favorite.

Baby Shower



One of the creative admins at work is about ready to pop so we had a small baby shower for her this week. Her sister-in-law owns an online baby store so she has pretty much everything she could possible need, but we managed to pick out a few things we thought she'd like. I forgot how much fun shopping for a baby is, I went a little overboard.... Everything was just so tiny and soft, I couldn't help myself!!
