Hello! I have 8 days left to study for my National Counselor Exam and that has taken up any free time. 200 questions – less than 4 hours – 3 years of graduate-level material and the test is so hard you need around 100 out of 160 right to pass. It is classified as a …
This week I have been reading “Masters of Medicine” by Andrew Lam. If you like history or medicine, it is a really good book! If you get squeamish….it might not be a great pick. It covers the discovery of insulin, penicillin, forceps, washing your hands!, the polio vaccine, and tests like the Pap smear. These …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! This cake is the result of our family’s love of all things lemony. I’ve been using Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipes books for many years and the Top Secret Recipes 2 book is probably my favorite out of all of them. So many great recipes in here that …
Happy weekend! I’ve been reading “Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker PhD. It has over 20,000 reviews on Amazon and almost 5 stars! That’s a ton for a non-fiction book really. Most of the reviews you always see are for fiction. But anyway, I digress. If you want to learn the latest and greatest on …
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We always have a bunch of birthdays around Christmastime. I try to change up the dessert a little bit and still keep to the chocolate cake requests that happen every 2 weeks at this time of year. Buttercream is made with SO much butter and requires a bit …
These were the fluffiest cinnamon rolls that we ever had! The flavors and texture were so light and airy, you would think it was diet food. (Ha Ha – I wish!) I love the layers and layers of cinnamon. The 14″x20″ rectangle of dough really lends to the thin layers of dough between more layers …
Here’s a great addition to your Thanksgiving table this year!! This cake is so tasty and delicious! You have pumpkin, pecans, cinnamon, spices, AND caramel! This hits all the notes: crunchy, gooey, creamy and cakey. Let me say we really enjoyed this cake. I love pumpkin pie, but this was a lot of fun to …
Good day! Well, the crazy continues as we wrap up a year of Covid. I recorded a Cognitive Behavior Therapy session yesterday and a Skills session today, so that concludes year 1 of my Master’s in School Counseling degree. Instead of the spring musical, we are re-making our Mexican restaurant favorite – deep fried ice …
Summer is officially here! Raspberry Bars are the perfect gooey summer treat! This is another bakery inspired recipe that I couldn’t wait to make. Aldi has raspberries on sale right now and they carry a Simply Nature raspberry preserves that is excellent! Of course, you can use an raspberry preserves that you like. …
Good morning! These cookies are inspired by the super awesome bakery on Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri – Sweetie Pie’s Bakery. She started decorating cakes at 14 years old and started her own business shortly after. Now at age 21, she has her own bakery and I love supporting the local shops that …
