Today is a very special day. It's a day for Funfetti Cake Batter Cookie Pie! Birthdays are a big deal to me. They always have been. When I was a kid, birthdays were big events and they still are for me today.

A recipe for Key Lime Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream. Since we can soon say goodbye to summer, and the need to don a bathing suit for a while, why not Key Lime Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream, topped with toasted coconut? I like to call them "Say Goodbye to Summer Cupcakes."
Warm Apple Crisp made with a buttery cinnamon oatmeal topping is a delightful dessert to serve on any occasion. It's easy to prepare and even easier to devour! When the air turns cooler I immediately start thinking about making cozy comfort food dishes and warm baked fruit desserts.
I wish I could get this blog written from O's perspective.. but I already spend so much of my day saying "Write your blog, honey! Write your blog! Seriously.. write your blog!" ....and yet, there's only oh, two posts on his sports blog. So I'm going to have to take this one over.

Today I painted the shelves that we took out of the built-in bookcases in our house. I painted them outside in our backyard so they would dry faster, which is a great idea, thankyouverymuch. What do I get for my industriousness and brilliant plan? A homemade tramp stamp.
A pancake cake. I know, I know "but the calories, the sugar...", SNOOZE FEST! It's a PAN and it's a CAKE! A pancake cake! And it's delicious, which these days is my hashtag 1 requirement. Can you imagine anything more scrumptious to arrive to than a pancake cake surprise awaiting the birthday boy/girl?
This whole wheat blueberry chai french toast bake is an easy and flavorful way to feed a crowd! Perfect for brunch and Mother's Day. I am a HUGE fan of brunch. You can choose to eat savory or (really, "and") sweet foods, you can eat it right when you wake up or in the early afternoon, and you can sip on a morning cocktail, no problem.
A hundred years is a long time. I mean, I wouldn't really know. I haven't been alive long enough. Neither has my father. Or my grandfather. But Hellmann's is about to celebrate 100 years of business, and when they asked me to help them celebrate, I couldn't say no.
