I have a confession. I gained weight during the holiday season. Like, can't-fit-in-pretty-dresses type weight gain. This is not okay. I'm determined to be a girl who can fit into pretty dresses. Or maybe I should just wear bigger dresses? Whatever. You get what I mean... #eggs #lemons #sugar
A delicious Halloween treat that's light and easy to make. If you need an idea for a healthier Halloween dessert at your next party - look no further! Confession: I strongly dislike candy corns. As a kid I was always disappointed to find them in my trick or treat bag.

Here's a little something from your childhood that grew up just in time to save your taste buds from another happy hour disappointment at the local Sonic. (Maybe that's just my local Sonic). And it's another month of the Pass the Cook Book Club.
We are having a bit of cold snap here and I love it. The green leaves are finally being coaxed into their fall time blush. And I say blush because here in Southern California we rarely see the deep saturated changes of back east.
It's been a mad crazy week, so while I had every intention of making an elaborate Valentine's cake, I settled on something more simple, like this Almond and Raspberry Tart. It's easy to whip up and can totally pass for a Valentine's Day dessert. It's red from the raspberries after all.
This is not just your ordinary, Sunday afternoon, need to invite my friends over so I don't eat this whole dang thing, chocolate cake. It's a very special cake, dedicated to a special person. A few bloggers have got together to host a virtual baby shower for Jessica from How Sweet It Is.
This is how you faceplant into cake on a Friday. I'm not even the biggest cake person ever and I'm about to do the faceplant. I'm actually weird about cake. I like it when it's chocolate chocolate chocolate. I'm even weirder about angel food cake and I HAVE to be in the mood for it.
One of my weaknesses is espresso. I love it in any form, especially when it's in a caramel latte. I don't really like the artificial flavor syrups that some places use in their lattes. If I'm going to drink a caramel latte, I want it to have real caramel sauce in it.
