I made this bacon and egg casserole for last year’s Easter brunch, and it was the perfect combination of festive and flavorful. I love that it can be made ahead AND made *half* vegetarian. At the recommendation of reviewers, I boiled the potato cubes for five minutes before adding. To make half of our casserole …
I saw these ingenious cookie-cutter candy bark pieces on the Etsy blog and had to create my own […]
After seeing many vibrant, frosted, sprinkle-y (three things I love!) Easter egg breads gone terribly crazy wrong, […]
To celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday last summer, my family headed to Denver in search of mountains and beer. (And don’t worry, we definitely found both.) Great Divide, the maker of my dad’s favorite beer, is there along with a whole host of other awesome craft breweries. I’ve never been crazy about bottle cap crafts …
I’m not sure if it was the 4:30 am wakeup time, leaving my family in STL, the flights and late luggage or the fact that we’re still wrapping presents, but today hasn’t actually felt like Christmas to me! Maybe tomorrow, after lots of sleep, cocoa and Christmas music! In the meantime, I’ll leave you with …
I don’t know about you, but I love thinking about, shopping for, and making gifts for Christmas. Even though there’s always (way, way) too much to do, I really look forward to this crazy time of year! We gave out these beer bread kits a couple Christmases ago, inspired by a store-bought version. Just mix …

And while I was most certainly not familiar with John Muir before moving to California, I’m now so grateful for all the work he did, especially in preserving one of the most …
Since the days I went door-to-door selling Girl Scout cookies (that miserable time when my shy self was pitted against my competitive, must-sell-the-most-in-my-troop self), I have loved Samoas Girl Scout cookies. (Or whatever you call them wherever you live. You know, the best ones, with the chocolate and caramel and toasted coconut.) So, when a …
This project is from last fall, but it’s so perfectly summer. We designed and built these wooden sailboats with colorful paper sails to decorate the pool in the background of my sister-in-law’s nautical baby shower. Now, as we approach yet another hot and sunny weekend, swimming pools and boating are both on my mind! The …
Well, hello there! Fancy meeting me here, right? I’m sorry it has been so long! A lovely Australian company was holding my domain name hostage for a few weeks, and that was followed by several insanely busy weeks at work. Meanwhile, Sprinkle Bakes posted a seriously beautiful collection of cupcake piping techniques, and I tried …
