Baked Brownies: Guest Post at Gotta Get Baked

These are the quintessential brownies: gorgeously chewy, deeply fudgy, and perfectly crackly on top…and you can read more about them today at my quite awesome friend Nance’s blog, Gotta Get Baked!

And if you’re here visiting for the first time from Nance’s blog–welcome! I’m so honored to have you here. Please stick around and say hello <3

Baked Brownie 2--050914

Nance and I met up two weeks ago when I visited Vancouver for a children’s lit conference. She is the most absolutely lovely person ever–like the dopplegangers we are, she totally blogged about our meeting too–and I am so excited to … Read more

Order Up!

So I’ve been working on a pet project recently that finally launched at the start of this month and am so excited to announce…

I’m delivering care package orders!

Order Up 10

The pilot, which I’m running through May, is mainly local for now (meaning many of the lucky customers are my friends, or friends of friends). I have to admit, I was floored by how modestly well the order delivery is going! It’s probably just about as much as I can handle at this busy crossroads in between my conference research, prospectus work, blogging, and other exciting developments around here, so … Read more

Mom’s Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie

Do yourself a favor and send your mom this video–I guarantee she’ll love it. I know mine did.

My mom is a saint for many, many reasons.

The biggest reason is the sheer fact that she’s put up with me for over two decades, which is a pretty amazing feat in itself.

Mom's Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie gif 1

You might recognize this recipe because I’ve posted something very similar here before, but there’s a story behind this necessary redundancy on Mother’s Day!

My mom is very particular about her cookies; you might call her a bit of a CCC connoisseur.  She is the best mom … Read more

Coffee Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cupcakes with Kahlua Biscoff Frosting

Every once in a while, a truly remarkable event happens that reminds you appreciate in life. The day I met K was one such moment. Coffee Cheesecake-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Mocha Biscoff Frosting 2--042914 In reality, the first time we met was at the Edible Book Festival at our school’s library, though I wouldn’t have recognized her face with all the nice folks streaming in and out of the rotunda. We reconnected after K entered my From My Kitchen to Yours care package giveaway–she found my blog through cards I had been giving out at the festival and, by some crazy chance, decided to start reading. Who says … Read more

Vancouver, Rain-couver…

I’ve been hiding out from you guys this past weekend….in Vancouver! And guess which totally lovely lady blogger I got to meet while I was there?

Vancouver Trip 1--050414

Yep, Nancy from Gotta Get Baked! <3

Have you all met Nance before? I just assumed you all have–I found her blog only a month ago and instantly fell in love with her free-flowing, sharp, sassy writing voice. In some ways (and I hope she’ll back me up on this), I felt like I’d found a kindred blogging spirit. I left a comment on her blog–she moseyed on over to mine and left … Read more

Healthy Peanut Butter-Stuffed Chocolate Date Balls (Vegan; GF and Raw Option)

Don’t forget to enter the Cuppow giveaway via our Eat Clean Challenge at the end of this post!

Dreams do come true.

I know because yesterday I shook hands with a Disneyland Imagineer for the first time. A real, living, breathing, down-to-earth Imagineer!

Okay, so maybe the “real living breathing” part isn’t that impressive–even I’m capable of those–but an Imagineer. Ohmygosh. Somebody get me my paper bag because I take back what I just said and I suck at breathing right now.
