One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I recently had a ladies night which had a fall theme and it was awesome! Over the past couple of years I’ve loved hosting tailgate brunches, St. Patty’s Day dinners or brunch, and Thanksgiving dinner. From all of these I’ve come up with the fool proof way to through the best party. Here is how…
When I go camping I always want to bring a baked good. Actually whenever I’m going anywhere I want to bring a bake good so this isn’t that different. I decided to make something for breakfast and dessert when we went camping in Telluride in August (Telluride post to follow). I wanted to bake something…
I finally found my way back to the kitchen and baked peach cobbler yesterday! This recipe was amazing. There is minced crystallized ginger in the biscuits and it gave it such an intense flavor. There are lots of different options for peach desserts this time of year but I decided to go with a cobbler….
I’ve started following this blog, Woks of Life, and I love it. I made the Inside Out Hong Kong Buns this past weekend and the recipe was spot on; a little labor intensive but still awesome. I got up early on Saturday to make these and didn’t want to wake my roommate so did most of…

Tonight I made paczki‘s for Fat Tuesday tomorrow. Growing up in Michigan the grocery store and bakeries sell these treats like crazy this time of year and I absolutely love them! But out here in Denver its another story—nobody knows what they are!! I decided I won’t go another Fat Tuesday with out them…
