Alex’s birthday celebrations ended up taking 3 days. 3 because her party had to be on a Sunday, we hosted playgroup on Monday and celebrated her birthday, and her actual birthday was on Tuesday. I did not go crazy with the food all 3 days, of course, but I did make cupcakes for playgroup, which…
Strawberry Lemonade Bars
Can you take another strawberry recipe? This might be the best so far. I think these Strawberry lemonade Bars are probably making the blog rounds–and they deserve to be. I first heard about them on Twitter, I forget who, and got linked to Playing House, who linked me in turn to Baking Bites, whose original…
Strawberries Layered With Lemon Cream
Does anyone else have a secret guilty history of dunking strawberries in Cool Whip in their youth? I do–I am that person who always wants a little extra sweet with my strawberries. In the meantime I grew up and grew out of Cool Whip–haven’t touched the stuff in years and pretty much find it revolting….
Streusal Topped Lemon Shortbread Bars
Do you ever go looking for a new version of something, mostly out of a desire to try a new recipe rather than any dissatisfaction with the classic, only to discover that the final result is indeed so different from what you were expecting that you are disappointed? Which is silly because first of all,…
Praying For Rain: Lemon Thumbprint Cookies
Wee-hoo they have finally seeded!!! Now we need to pray for rain, because we are not watering 1.5 acres!

Why Have I Never Tried Lemon Sugar Cookies For Painting Before?

The texture is usually too cardboard-y for me and the icing is always too sweet. Nonetheless, it is something we kids LOVED doing every single Christmas and today I paint cookies…
Scones For Playgroup
Someone just made my day! Amanda, of My Finds Online, has listed me #2 of her Top 25 Recipe Blogs of 2009! Wow! I’ve gotten some cool awards, but I gotta admit this one is really exciting! Thanks, Amanda! As you all know, I hosted playgroup for the first time this week. And promptly freaked…
When Life Hands You Lemons…: Lemon-Goat Cheese Cheesecake… Parfait?
This dessert was absolutely fabulous. As a parfait. As a cheesecake, well it was very runny. And when life hands you a fabulous tasting but flawed cheesecake, you make parfait. Not really sure what happened, I am no cheesecake expert. I have a theory as to why it cracked (see note in recipe re: not…
Guilt Appeasing Scones For Playgroup
I still haven’t hosted my playgroup. I hope that you aren’t appalled–I swear once the house is built I will host repeatedly. I just hate my living circumstances so much right now. But anyway, the solution of course is that I keep offering to bring food. Last week I used them as my guinea pigs…
