After Boy was born, my sweet M-I-L ceremoniously handed me a folded and well-worn page torn from a women’s magazine. When I unfolded it, there was an image of a child’s birthday cake in the shape of an elephant. She told me that she had made the elephant cake for Husband almost from the time …

Y’all remember the Candy Bar Cake Challenge? You saw my hideous concoction… …then I challenged you to send me your not so hideous creation. Two brave readers have accepted my throw-down and submitted their pics. While no one has dared to make the cake in it’s three-layer glory, you guys did make some tasty lookin’ …

I’m not a big fan of the Egg McMuffin mostly because I think it should taste as yummy as the picture looks, but never does. I’d rather spend my money on things I can’t hack at home, like their delicious hot fries. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do your …
I love to eat cake. Doesn’t matter what kind, just GIMME cake! I love to bake cakes. So much cake. One summer was particularly scary in our household. In order to offset the plaguing what-ifs, I announced to Husband that we would now be enjoying The Summer of Cake. We had a new cake every …

The star here isn’t the cupcakes, but the Strawberry Lemonade Frosting. It met and then decided to exceed my, and all who experienced it, expectations. Witness its strawberry lemonade glory: Take any vanilla cupcake recipe and then get ready to super-charge those badboys. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon referral links. When you do …
I likey buttermilk. I am fond of plucking a lime from my tree to stuff into my beer. I adore shortbread. Combine all these lovely tastes into Buttermilk Lime Shortbread Bars and you’d think I’d be in heaven. Sometimes you win with a recipe and other times you walk away with a “Note to self: …
Right at this very moment I know you could use a pick-me-up (yes, even, especially, if it’s 7am) and this post certainly won’t help. BUT, you can poke them down your piehole lickety-split with this super easy recipe. I give you: Brownie Chunk Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. Oh my… Confession #1: I used a …
It’s true. Green tea gives me the heaves. Not the actual I’m-gonna-hurl heaves, but the kind that makes me curl up a little when I think of drinking it. Pretty bad, right? The thing is I’m trying to better myself nutritionally and green tea is highly recommended. Let me backtrack a bit. I’m pretty sound …
