Note to self: Be careful of your hashtags and double entendres. Because regardless of what you intend, all it takes is a simple misinterpretation to get a completely different read on a situation, comment, or post. Let me back up to when I got a refresher course in being straightforward. Last summer, I had it…

#NoBanNoWall Cupcakes
So I’ve been pretty quiet up in here on the political scene, and that’s not without cause. (Disclaimer: When I speak up on something, I want to be 100% sure I know what the heck I’m talking about and 100% sure that I support it.) In the past few weeks, though, it’s painfully obvious how…
Mexican Double Chocolate Cookies
When I was growing up, my Mom and I would be cooking or baking, and without much warning, we’d jab spoons of (insert whatever we were making) and say, “Try this!” Sometimes we paused to ask what it was, and sometimes we just went ahead and opened our mouths. Fast forward to how this has…
Cinnamon Roll Cake
Recently, one of my friends told me about a cinnamon roll cake she had seen on the internet, and she raved about how it looked so good. She told me it made her think of me and my baking endeavors. I thought about it for awhile, and then of course, I had to do some…
Cinnamon Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting
Summer. The word means many things to many people. As a teacher, I think of sleeping in (rarely past 8, though), reading, and “unlimited” planning time for the school year to come. Side note: Guess who banged out 4 unit plans in 1.5 weeks?!?! #thiskid As a human, summer means getting a tan (or a…
Dulce De Leche & Churro-Spiced Cheesecake
This cheesecake was born out of two desires: 1. To make a Mexican-inspired cheesecake to go along with a meal. 2. To use up a can of Dulce De Leche I bought unexpectedly. For more information, see below: Collin and I are part of a marriage group that meets once a week, and it’s always…
Chai Snickerdoodles with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
I grew up in New York state where snow days required massive dumpings of lake effect snow. I’m talking about measuring snow in feet, not inches. Now I live in Memphis where the threat of any wintry precipitation is enough to usher in a snow day, which is sometimes even announced the night before! It’s…
Caramel Apple Snack Cake
It’s time for a big question. Cake: Is it a snack or dessert? Does it depend on the time of day or the size of the slice? Does it have to be individually wrapped or can it be fresh from the oven? Does it have to have less sugar or some kind of “nutritional value”?…
Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookie Apple Pie
I’ve made a pie crust or two in my life. Key word(s): or two. Any of my attempts to conquer the homemade pie crust have been via food processor. Thank you very much, Ninja. I blame my reluctance to attempt this on my mother. Due to the intimidating skills of (a) her mother-in-law/my grandmother and…
