This isn’t so much a recipe as it is a wonderful tip I learned a couple years ago. It’s so much more convenient than having a tub of frozen cookie dough in the freezer. I love having these in the freezer for when I really want a cookie but don’t want to make several dozen. … Continue reading

brown sugar lump
So can I be honest about something? My pantry isn’t very organized. Well, my pantry isn’t really a pantry it’s just a cabinet where I continue to shove anything that doesn’t need to be refrigerated.

simple shortbread
Every now and then I want something simple. Like I want to wear jeans and a fitted t-shirt to feel put together but casual. I want to use simple colors like black and white (maybe grey because it’s one of my favorites) because they are great accents and can even stand alone. My lunch was simple today. … Continue reading
