Hey Ya'll! I thought I'd share a quick recap of the Mixed Conference this past weekend. You know I entered a cookie contest. You know I was a finalist. You know I made a fancy apron and was a nervous wreck. You know I thought I had no chance. And then I WON! Or, my cookies rather. Click here to take another peek at those Pecan Praline King Cake Cookies for everyone who has been asking to "Show Me The Cookies!". The weekend is a blur, but here's a few highlights I thought you might ... continue reading...

Peppermint Brownie Cookies
First and foremost, and before we get to the Peppermint Brownie Cookies, I have not vanished into thin air! I'm working on rebranding the site (actually creating a new, one altogether!) and it's just taking a bit longer to pull everything together. I've been busy creating, photographing, and readying myself to bring you fresh and new content when it launches....and well, that is a process in and of itself. I've been saving, i.e. hoarding, all the pretties so you'll be impressed when ... continue reading...
Homemade Chocolate Glazed Cake Donuts
Y'all, it's National Donut Day! And before we get too carried away let's chat briefly about whether you donut or you doughnut? I'm a donut'er because it's less characters. I like to keep things simple. Regardless of your donut/doughnut preferences, it's the day to celebrate and celebrate we are with these Homemade Chocolate Glazed Cake Donuts. Holy yum! It's probably worth mentioning that it's also my anniversary. 5 glorious years! It seems like only yesterday that we were walking down the ... continue reading...
The Elves’ 12 Days of Christmas Cookies (Day Eight)
Got another double dose of elves for you today! Today belong's to Over The Top Mommy's elves, Sugar and Azucar. I "met" Wendy (the elf owner) when I first started making aprons. I made her a Little Red Riding Hood, and it was seriously one of the first 10 I ever made. Ever. We became fast friends, and now I make aprons for her elves! Here's Wendy's story into elfhood: "Last year was the first year we had an Elf on the Shelf spend this magical time of the year with us. Her name was Sugar. ... continue reading...
The Elves’ 12 Days of Christmas Cookies (Day Six)
I am super duper excited to have Bree, from Baked Bree along with her elf, John on the blog today for The Elves' 12 Days of Christmas. I met Bree last year at Mixed- the food blogging conference where I won the cookie contest, but she was a speaker and I was way too shy to say much more than hello to her. This year however, I plopped down at her lunch table, posed in front of her camera, and chatted her poor head off on the journey back to the airport. Bless her heart, I'm so grateful she ... continue reading...
Homemade TAILgate Treats for Dogs
On game days, the boarding facility we use for Stella & Milo hosts weekend TAILgate parties for the dogs. Get it. TAIL-gate party. Join us for a TAIL wagging good time. My dogs take tailgating just as serious as I do. They don't actually "party" at the TAILgate party, but they do get lots of play time. And treats. TAILgate treats. If you've been to a college football game lately you know that between the time sitting in traffic, the time tailgating, the time watching the game, then ... continue reading...
My Sweet Time at Wilton
There were two things I wanted to accomplish at my very first BlogHer in Chicago a few weeks ago. Survive. Get on the list to attend the Wilton Cake Event. (#WiltonBlogHer13 for everyone's recaps) I'm happy to report that despite my tardiness in posting, I accomplished both. I lived! Barely, but that's another post. Even better? I decorated a snack cake. A snack cake? You know, a Twinkie look alike, that you can make all by yourself. All. By. Yourself. Before I show you my snack cake, ... continue reading...
Pecan Praline King Cake Cookies
Do you know what's better than a pecan praline or a yummy slice of king cake? Pecan Praline King Cake cookies, that's what! As you know I'm currently in the process of a website facelift. I've been in "beautification" mode for a hot minute, but the web designer is getting really close to wrapping up and I just couldn't wait until then to share these cookies with you. They are life changing. Serious. In a few weeks I'll be heading to Mixed, a food bloggers conference held at the ... continue reading...
Perfect for a Picnic
You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers, but I’m going to say it brings with it what could be your only opportunity for some delightful picnic weather down here on the bayou. Soon it will be obnoxiously hot, and unless you plan on picnicking somewhere covered and preferably underneath a fan, the thought of a picnic is, well, merely a nice thought. As unofficial queen of the picnic (I did write a cookbook on the topic, after all), this month I’m sharing what’s inside my personal ... continue reading...
