A guide to making life a little more fabulous
While I don’t think there’s every been a time in my life that I didn’t like chili dogs, I’ve never beeen big on eating just chili.
Chicken wings are one of those food items that everyone in the world except for me (and vegans) feel is necessary to eat while watching sports.
As much as I enjoy putting together layer cakes or intricately decorated cookies, sometimes you just need a recipe that only calls for two ingredients and a few minutes of work.
One of my awesome co-workers, June, recently had an incredibly adorable baby boy.
While I’m (obviously) a proponent of drinking cocktails year round, there are some drinks that just taste better in the summer.
It’s hard for me to believe that it’s late October — especially since it has been 95 degrees here all week — but somehow it is almost Halloween.
When we were living in San Diego County, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a sugar skull class and a Dia de los Muertos celebration.
Halloween at Disneyland is an extra magical time.
I love most candies that are basically just sugar + food coloring, so it’s no surprise that I adore candy corn (mellowcreme pumpkins are the best)! But there’s only so much candy corn one human can eat, and they don’t have it here in Bahrain anyway.
I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use some good vibes right about now.
While I hate basically everything card companies and Hollywood studios serve to us as “romance,” I do have a soft spot for Valentine’s Day.
Conversation hearts, boxes of chocolates, and red velvet cupcakes are all great ways to show someone you love them on Valentine’s Day, but I get it: Not everyone is into treats that are full of flour, white sugar, and food coloring.
A few years ago, I was visiting Phoenix for work and had the chance to see my mom’s BFF.
Have you seen photos of unicorn cakes, and wished you could make your own, but don't want to deal with fondant? I've got your back.
Pumpkin spice lattes have arrived at Starbucks, apple picking pictures are popping up all over Instagram, and temperatures here in Bahrain have dipped into the double digits (it was 95 today), which can only mean one thing: It’s fall! Let’s break out.
I have to apologize for not sharing these cookies with you sooner.
For our last rug flop in Bahrain, I wanted to bake a cake with Middle Eastern flavors, based on the 1001 Nights cake from a local bakery.
I've eaten a lot of pecan pie in my life -- including one particularly memorable slice in a bunker in Afghanistan -- but this recipe is the best.
When one of my favorite children was turning three, his mom asked me to make him a 3-shaped cake.
As a red-headed aquaholic, I figured a mermaid birthday cake was the perfect thing for my recent birthday.
