One of the fun New Year’s resolutions I made was to make better cake. (Noel is of course very supportive of this goal.) I am a pretty good baker, but I have just never been very satisfied with my cakes. I bought some bleached flour (since it’s lighter than the unbleached we typically use) and [...]
Being pregnant sometimes makes me lazy, especially on Saturday mornings. Every Saturday morning Noel will ask me what I want for breakfast and I will invariably respond with either “Einstein Bagels with honey almond schmear” or “donuts, mmmmm.” Noel is a good cook and very good at not giving into my cravings to eat out [...]
Last week we were lucky to have a visit from my parents and my brothers. Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t much of a vacation because we had a long list of projects for them to help us with. Still, we managed to squeeze in some fun celebrating my Dad’s birthday (Happy 50th!) and showing them [...]
Growing up, both of my grandmas had freezers full of things that little kids love. One of my favorites that my McConkie grandma often had was homemade Oreo cookies. They were so much better than actual Oreos, and not just because they were homemade, but because they had cream cheese [...]
Sorry I’ve been such a bad blogger lately. My apologies and I promise to be better.
This weekend two very exciting things were being celebrated. The first of course was Buffalo Bill Days and the second was National Cheesecake day.
Buffalo Bill is a big deal around these parts. [...]
Do you remember how I told you I don’t remember ever believing in Santa? Funny thing is, I do remember believing in the Easter bunny. I remember the year my parents told me he took my binky away and how traumatized I was. I didn’t like him. [...]
Cooper has never eaten “baby food” and I like to think this has made his food preferences more sophisticated.
It is sometimes funny to see people’s reactions when we’re at restaurants. Cooper is convinced he’s an adult, so there’s no ordering off the kid’s menu. He will open his mouth wide for whatever we’re having, [...]
Cupcake Report – The St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes were indeed tasty. Would I wait in line again? Probably not. Will I use their menu as a starting point for some delicious experiments? Most likely. Cooper – We think we’re hitting round two of teething. Drooling – check. Biting things – check. The kid has been [...]
I waited in line for 25 minutes for these cupcakes. (Which apparently is a pretty short wait for this cupcakery.) I’m not really sure I’m sold on this whole cupcake trend (I mean, what about all the other delicious baked goods in this world?), but the place has rave reviews and I figured [...]
Last night we tried out a lovely Ethiopian Restaurant that was only a short walk away. We had a delicious utensil-less meal – which was a great cover-up for the etiquette-free-way we typically feed Cooper. We beat the dinner rush and left satisfied.
Two hours later, we put Cooper to bed and decided [...]
