At the last AWA Social and Shopping a friend introduced me to these delicious cinnamon rolls hand made by a lovely lady named Janice.

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting
I’ve started noticing a trend in our household. Sunday has become bake day. After we go to church and have lunch we usually come back home and hang out by the pool or stay home and play with the kids. After about an hour and a half of playing with Thomas the Train I start … Continue reading
Five Asian Snacks Your Toddler Will Love
Evan thinks he’s Asian. He will eat sushi rolls, he’s obsessed with rice and noodles and he has to dip everything in soy sauce or kecip manis. Every time we go back to the US or Mexico he suffers from Asian food withdrawal and we have to at least find some rice from him. Here’s … Continue reading

I love Macarons, in fact I love them so much that I would rather eat macarons than pie, ice cream and cake. I’ve attempted to make macarons many a time and I’ve utterly failed each time.

If Life Gives you Carrots…. Make Carrot Cake
I recently started receiving fresh vegetables from an organic farm on a weekly basis. Little did I know that if I ordered the medium size mixed vegetable package I would end up with a fridge full of greens and about one hundred carrots. I’m not a big fan of carrot anything, unless they are raw … Continue reading
