There's one baking lesson that I know so well, yet just can't seem to learn. Don't ask the hubs to chose a baking flavor. Just don't. Even when I'm seriously at a fork...just...don't...do...it. No matter what the circumstances I will always end up even more confused, and potentially frustrated at the end of the conversation. Second lesson: don't bake cakes in the middle of the night. Let me ... [ read more... ]

Starwars Galaxy Bark
I've never really been a girl to reason with sprinkles...consider me converted. It's that day of year where all the Star Wars fans come out to play. I'll be honest, I am not exactly one of those people. Maybe that's because the only Star Wars film I've ever seen was last year and I totally didn't get it. But I did see that hilarious video of the mama with the Chewbacca mask, and I'm pretty sure ... [ read more... ]

Cafe Mocha Cake
Today I have good news, a little secret, and a cake to share! The good news is…I recently found out after moving to Europe that I do not have an addiction to coffee. That’s right! I actually have an addiction to cream and sugar. Ha! Seriously though, ordering coffee here is like can I have a cup of coffee and like 24 creams and sugars please? They like their coffee dark, strong, and tiny. Which is ... [ read more... ]

Strawberry Pink-O-Ween Cupcakes
We are less then three weeks from moving across the world. Less then three weeks guys! I would be lying if I didn't admit my head has been in the European clouds lately. I'm trying so so so hard to be present here and enjoy the last few weeks in the desert, and the US. A few more moments of soaking in these mountains, strolls through Target, and random stops for hot fresh donuts. You know, the ... [ read more... ]

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cookie Cake
You guys. Our big move to Europe is now just a couple months away. I don't even know where time has went, where did my year to prepare go? I have less then 30 days before the movers come to pack everything up and ship it away. Then we'll be left with an empty house for awhile. Lots of emptiness, and children, and dinners without table. Ehh I'm already losing my sanity thinking about it. And I have ... [ read more... ]

But for now…let's talk chocolate…let's talk cookies…let's talk chocolate cookies! Sometimes when I'm in a need of a little baking I ... [ read more... ]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mousse
I don't know about you guys but winter is a time for chocolate, friends, cozy gatherings, and more chocolate. Now that we've passed pumpkin and peppermint season it's the perfect time for some chocolate treats before spring fever sets in. This winter we've had lots of great reasons to have friends over and me being 9 months pregnant I needed a new simple sweet treat. So I grabbed a Krusteaz triple ... [ read more... ]

Bakery Style Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Gah - guys I'm in a total funk again. Turns out, I just might be the queen of funk. And no, not in a totally rad hip hop kinda way. More like I get in these super weird funks all too often that I literately need pulled out of and lately has been no exception. If you follow along here at MBC you may remember we moved recently, not across the country like our normal moves, but across the city ... [ read more... ]
