Unfortunately things aren't always sprinkles and fluffy frosting around here, oh how I wish they were but sometimes things get messy, you know life happens.

This year we're closing out the year with a bang as I wrap up the final edits of the book (eeekkkkkkkkk) and we fight our traditional Christmas flu. Yep, it's one of our crazy ... [ read more... ]

Normally I have all sorts of goodies stored up in the freezer to easily pull out and serve at events as they come and go. Just has not ... [ read more... ]

Krusteaz Gluten Free Pumpkin Brownie Stacks
Who's up for some brownies covered in pumpkin frosting, stacked in twos, and totally gluten free? Oh and did I mention crazy easy?
