I've been waiting all week for these! Ian is going out of town for work and this weekend, my best friends are coming down from New York to have a girls' weekend in Philly. We've been saying that we want to have a fancy tea party, so tomorrow, we'll be serving so many tea party [...]
Summer's here, which means it's time to make smores. I'm that weird kid who never liked marshmallows. There's something about them that was always so off-putting to me. If you melt them and made rice krispies, sure I'll gobble them up. But as is, no thank you. Then I was introduced to homemade marshmallows. Mind. [...]

Meanwhile, I'd make chocolate pudding (from the box) and stuff the cups. It was super easy and looked quite impressive. I have nothing against chocolate [...]
For many people, Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the beginning of summer. This means pies, pies, and pies. I love pies, but sometimes, you just want pie in belly fast.

What's better than banana bread? Chocolate banana bread, of course! This is also a one-bowl recipe, which is a huge plus. Although this is probably better as a dessert, I have managed to convince myself that this is perfectly acceptable as breakfast.
It seems like every few posts, I'm complaining about the weather. Well, today we'll hit 89°F here in Philadelphia. My poor dog is laying on the tile kitchen floor with the fan blasting in his face. When it gets this hot, I seldom want to bake, since heating up the house is probably the [...]
Today we got the first glimpses of summer, aka the high 70s and humid. We do a lot of home improvement stuff on weekends, so we're always working up a sweat. I craved something sweet but didn't want to bake anything and further heat up our house ... milkshake it is! I love, love, [...]
