If you happened to be at Seekers church on Sunday you got to try the Peaches and Cream Cupcakes, and these Blackberry Lime Cupcakes. These cupcakes are the same as the Key Lime and Blueberry Swirl Cupcakes I made a few months ago. Just swap out the blueberries for blackberries. The frosting was slightly differentRead more
Here’s some celebratory (cup)cakes. While there is lots to celebrate in life, right now I’m celebrating my fixed computer! I had to send my poor laptop into the Mac doctors to be fixed. Fortunately there’s a flat rate to send it to the warehouse for repairs and it came back with a new screen (whichRead more
In honor of my uncle’s 40th birthday on Sunday, his wife asked me to bake cupcakes for them to take to church as a surprise celebration for him. Ken isn’t much a of a sweets eater, but when it comes to that side of the family nothing says birthday like German Chocolate Cake. My grandpaRead more

There is a TON of planning involved in making an event go smoothly. So here are some things to think about if you’re planning on catering or getting a big event catered: venue- whatRead more

Four ingredients! In a cookie?! Too easy to be super tasty. However, since it’s Passover, I decided to embrace the simplicity.Read more
Some close family friends invited us over for Easter dinner. We had a wonderful time! Lots of laughter, good conversation, and delicious food! So much to be thankful for! For this special occasion I busted out the Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cheesecake. Sister made this about a year ago with blueberries and it was OMG delicious. I’ve beenRead more
Tuesday’s dinner for School of Christian Living was a pretty simple affair. I put together one of my all-time favorite meals, taco salad. This is one of my stand-by meals that always tastes delicious. It was also a fun meal to put on for a group as a salad bar so everyone could pick andRead more

I don’t think I’ve ever had a White Russian, so I don’t have the real thing to compare these too, but I thought they were pretty tasty! My only problem with these was that the buttercream lookedRead more
