LakeSide… Summer Dreamin’

Blog archive.. I can’t wait to get back this summer!!   I have said for years that I was born about two generations too late. I love anything old, as I expressed in my Coney Island post… As embarrassing as this is to admit, I actually used to volunteer for our town’s historical village during middle school and high school… Yeah, embarrassing.. haha. But don’t worry–I was waaaay too cool…

Nanny Rules

Yes, I’m posting twice today. Homework is not happening. This is the only other thing I could think of that is semi-productive. I told myself…

Blog Archive: Lake Erie Islands

This is one of my favorite places in the world…  I can’t wait to get back this summer.  Enjoy!   What a weekend! After getting gridlocked in the DC Beltway thanks to the U.S. Open on Thursday evening, I got gridlocked again on the way back, thanks to an accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike… All with one patient pup in the back seat… Never a dull moment on my car…

Recipe: Corny Appetizers

A wise person once told me that a good cook is never without friends. I have found this to be true, especially when it comes to appetizers. These babies, which I will add to my recipes tab for your future reference, are an original of mine and have always been a hit when I’ve made them. My sister even texted me for the recipe last weekend and made them all…

Ugly Cookies

Blog archive!  Enjoy!   Every so often a conceited baker needs a little humility in her life. That happened to me last night. I am going to let you in to a little secret. As if my last post didn’t entirely make you think that I’m a Type A freak, allow me to confirm any suspicions with today’s post. I have a little ritual that happens just about every day…
