Espresso-spiked cake makes for a very unique flavor. I’d never tasted a cupcake like it, but I loved it. The cake isn’t too sweet, in a good way. The light-as-a-cloud topper of Baileys-laden whipped cream is the perfect companion; sprinkle some instant espresso on top, and you’re good to go.

Primroses
I adore primroses. Just as spring fever threatens to hit, up pops this plant that’s perfect for a porch-brightening container or two.
Salted Dark-Chocolate-Dipped Oranges
So easy. Segments of oranges dipped in rich, dark chocolate and spiked with flakes of Fleur de sel … it totally works.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes
The cupcake is reminiscent of a Toll House Cookie bar, but, you know, in cupcake form. Ooey, chewy, gooey, chocolate chippy goodness. And the buttercream … oh my. Lots of brown sugar, a hit of vanilla, a pinch of salt to take it over the top.
Spicy Baked Buffalo Wings
Step-by-step recipe for spicy baked buffalo wings – “Spicy enough to where they’re enjoyable, but not so much to where I’m in pain. I could eat those all day.”
Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy, gooey, oozing with chocolate. Step-by-step recipe with photos for Espresso Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, heavy on chocolate and caffeinated to boot.
Cheater Meyer Lemon Rolls
So they’re a bit of a cheat – they use refrigerator crescent rolls. They’re also really, really delicious. The sauce creates a tart, lemony-orange caramel on the bottom of the rolls, and the zest settles into the cracks along the top.
Cowboy Cookies
Dang delicious and really kind of fun to make. They’re like big chocolate chip cookies on steroids (the good kind, if there’s a good kind), beefed up with rolled oats, flaked coconut and a touch of cinnamon. Hearty and delicious.
Meyer Lemon Cake Bars
A delicious cross between a brownie and snack cake. They’re dense with a large crumb, super-moist, buttery, rich, and the perfect balance of lemony-sweet. The tangy glaze is the cherry on top.
Melissa Etheridge Salad (Avocado, Warmed Feta & Baby Greens Salad) + A Baby!
Feta warmed with torn bread crumbs and creamy avocado over mixed baby greens, sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Delicious. Plus a bonus photo of our new baby!
The Nursery!
We repurposed, reused, DIYed, sanded and sewed our hearts out, creating our dream nursery on a budget. The only new piece of furniture in the room is the crib, which took up the bulk of our budget.
White Chocolate Oreo Bark
We’re talking white chocolate and Oreo cookies, all mushed together and made into a heavenly bark. Easy, delicious and festive.
Chocolate Pretzel Candies
Sweet and salty = yum! As far as easy treats go, these are insanely so. Put down a pretzel, add a Hershey’s kiss, melt the kiss a little and then plop an M&M on top.
Homemade Candy Cane Hot Cocoa Mix
This yummy homemade candy cane hot cocoa mix makes the perfect gift for everyone on your “nice” list. Dark chocolate adds depth, crushed candy canes give it a minty twist and the white chocolate rounds it all out. It comes together incredibly quickly with the help of a food processor.
