If you are what you eat, I should have made these a long time ago. These tart lemon cupcakes have bursts of Nerd flavor as you bite into them. The frosting is a buttercream flavored with a bit of Tropical Punch Kool-Aid liquid. It’s fruity and delicious, whether or not […]

DIY Push-Up Pops
Remember Push-Up Pops? Now remember the “Pebble” Push-Up Pops with nerds inside? I grew up on these things. It wasn’t summer if these weren’t in the freezer. I started getting a hankering for them over the last couple weeks, and realized how ridiculously easy it would be to make them […]

When the fine folks at @giadavegas let you take the tasting menu back to your hotel room. I'm sure it's not the ideal experience, @giadadelaurentiis, but your tasting menu is still absolutely divine. (And it's helping this COVID-conscious business traveler relax in comfort!)

Easter egg hunts, friends, family, impromptu coordinating family outfits, and more food and chocolate than we know what to do with. Overall, it was a pretty good Easter. Happy Easter to you and yours!

Made cookie monster cupcakes for my son's second birthday. While I love to bake, my artistic skills are questionable, so I'm thrilled that these turned out as cute as they did!

"Mommy work!" is something Leonidas has been saying a lot lately. Between the day job and writing another book, I haven't had a lot of time away from my computer. I'm exhausted, everything is a mess, and Leonidas and I are both getting over colds (as you can see from his nose.) Yet, this picture is one of my recent favorites. You can see the sparkle in my eye just from being around this cutie. Being a working mom is not glamorous, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
