Hidden Treasure Cookies

Butter recipe cake mix.  It's where it's at. I remember once upon a time, back when Nate and I had been married less than a year and I was still considerably in my early 20's, we went to a small group and my friend Melanie brought these cookies as a treat for everyone.  And ever since that day I've been bombarded with questions as to when I'll ever make anything that matches up to them. OK, so that last part isn't true. Give Nate some chocolate chip cookies and he's a happy man; however, ... continue reading...

Julia’s Banana Bread

Banana bread.  I'd call it a staple in my diet these days, what with the crazy influx of bananas in our house.  But no one does it like Julia's.  And no one has the view like Julia's! Touted as the best banana bread on the planet, Julia's Banana Bread is found in the village of Kahakuloa on the side of the road in a tree house. A tree house I tell you!  That makes it more legit when you're talking banana bread.  It doesn't even matter if the tree is a banana tree or not; in fact, I'd be willing ... continue reading...

[Almost Vegan] Fresh Berry Coffee Cake

You know, now that I think about it I really should go vegan.  I mean after the constant eating and eating and more eating that I did in Maui it would probably be a good idea, right? Right? Hello? Oh, there you are!  You're right...butter is a great reason to not be vegan.  See also bacon.  See also steak.  I think my vacation diet has gotten the best of me now... So why the almost vegan?  Well, I didn't have a vegan butter substitute, and I wasn't about to go to the store and buy some.  ... continue reading...

I {heart} Maui!

Aloha again!  We just got back into the Denver/Boulder area this morning after 16 hours of travel and 2 hours of sleep!  I'm telling you, feel sorry for Nate right about now.  Me + little sleep = one very interesting travel companion. There are times when you travel to a place and, regardless of location or lifestyle or culture, it just feels like home.  Like you've lived there forever and could live there forever and ever amen. Maui is that place for Nate and myself.  It's where we traveled ... continue reading...

Perfect Lasagna

I have a, err, um, friend who has been searching high and low for the perfect lasagna recipe.  This friend, we'll just call her Feather, well she has tried noodles of every type, jarred sauces of every type, cheeses and veggies and meats of all kinds.  The least I could do was lead her in the right direction towards lasagna freedom.  Turns out all I - I mean Feather - had to do was make her own sauce and follow a few simple steps.   All I'm saying is that I like to help myself my friends ... continue reading...

Pineapple Cake Pops

I've been wanting to master the art of cake-popping for almost a year now.  That's right, a year. I guess it's just one of those things that I never knew could be SO easy.  Heck, everything is store bought (unless you want to take the crazy route and make it all yourself) and the refrigerator does most of the work.  But when you see the little pops they don't look that easy, and my mind automatically thinks that the process to make them is akin to making a real lollipop. Fact:  it's not at all ... continue reading...
