All I know is that at my friend’s wedding last weekend I had a strawberry cheesecake cupcake. I think that cupcake memory is why these hit the spot as the perfect girls night treat. These guys have it all. Graham cracker goodness, strawberries and cake with a cheesecake center.

Ok, evidently my oven is feeling under the weather. It’s just tired and doesn’t feel like being warm. AND it might’ve leaked gas all night, but since I sleep with my door shut I had no idea. So there you go. Last night before all the oven drama I made my first batch of Strawberry Jam of the year! I even used the super cool jelly jars my grandma gave me. I just love how…
It’s warm-ish here in the mitten. Warm enough for dog walking and strappy strappy shoe wearing and short sleeve coats and windows down driving listening to the new She & Him album and definitely warm enough for strawberries topping a tart. I’m going to be honest with you about a couple things. The first thing is that I think this would be just as amazing without the chocolate. The strawberries are enough to make this…
Don’t bother biting these guys in half. Eat them in one bite like sushi! And then eat at least one more, ok? These little lemony delights use olive oil instead of butter and are flavored with real fruit! So there you go!

Last night I made dinner for my very best friend, Katie. Let me tell you a little bit about why we are friends. We are the kind of girls that love crepes for dinner with Magic Hat #9. We require coffee. Always. Morning and night. Don’t judge us. We mutually love brownies, puppies and Lady GaGa. We are both jealous of Zoey Deschanel’s bangs. We have the same birthday, exactly one year apart. We both…
It’s Christmas! So that means that mimosas are required with breakfast. Jacob and I forgot the orange juice, so it was champagne all by it’s lonesome; which is the perfect companion to these christmas crepes. Since the crepes are still warm when they are rolled up around the filling, the goat cheese and jam melt together into the most delicious flavorful combination. These can be day after Christmas crepes, too. In case you want them tomorrow…
Please Note: I’ve made these again! Click HERE for the new post. These are just the snack you need when you want to pretend it’s healthy because there’s oatmeal involved. We’ve all done it. You know the scenario when you’re at the store and you could get oatmeal cookies or chocolate chip, but for some reason you feel like the oatmeal will push that cookie into the granola bar category… So make these guys, and eat them and…
I bet you think this should be a recipe for strawberry TALLcake based on the height on these guys. There are a couple things I crave when summer happens: 1. Hot dogs (It is baseball season after all…I don’t know why it happens. Don’t judge me.) 2. Strawberry shortcake And it is summer after all…and this recipe is just biscuit-y enough and just sweet enough that you might want to eat 11 out of the 12…
Next time you need to give someone a gift and you can’t think of anything at all. You should probably make them Strawberry Jam. You could even buy strange things at the grocery store solely because of the jar shape for when the moment strikes. And it’s really good, and trust me. Strawberry Jam This recipe is for quick and easy freezer jam. The recipe comes inside the box of fruit pectin, but I’ve put it below…
Pink cupcakes remind me of the days when I wanted to grow up to be a ballerina, and how I was the only girl in my gymnastics class wearing a tutu. If I could mail these to someone I’d definitely mail them to my niece Amelia who is pretty much the coolest girl ever. She is the one who I think would embrace these cupcakes in the way only a 6 year old girl who…
