Double Trouble…

Life is beyond busy as of late. I’m kind of scatterbrained a bit trying to get it all done. Case in point, my recent Amazon.com purchase. Now I don’t buy cookbooks very often anymore. I have to really, really want it before I fork over the money as I no longer have a monthly cookbook budget like I used to (yes, I really used to have one). But I was given a gift card and went looking for cookbooks. I will admit that I am not impressed with most of the cookbooks currently out. I was supposed to receive a copy of SprinkleBakes: Dessert Recipes to Inspire Your Inner Artist but still haven’t gotten that. I did get a copy of Savory Sweet Life: 100 Simply Delicious Recipes for Every Family Occasion which I love and will tell you about at another time. But over all I’m not loving and or needing any cookbook out there right now. Too many single subject books which I am not that big of a fan of to be honest. Not to say that there are not some good ones, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at … [Read more...]

Give us our daily rice…

I don’t know if I am singled out (I doubt it) but people have the perception often that since I run a dessert based blog that all I do is sit around and eat them all the time….and usually for breakfast. Hence the tote bag that was given to me by a friend (which I love btw)….Eat Cake For Breakfast. For the record I am pro eating cake for breakfast, I feel it is no different than that of a Pop Tart and probably has less fat and calories than the muffin people pick up at the coffee shop on the way to work. But I do seem to disappoint people when they ask what I had for breakfast. I know in their mind they are thinking some sort of homemade croissant, cream puff, apple strudel…something along those lines. Nope, not so much. On the weekends MDP makes breakfast 99% of the time (yes, I am lucky) and that is normally waffles and bacon or an egg hash brown scramble thing…with bacon. :) But when it’s just me here during the week I either eat a bowl of multigrain oatmeal or brown … [Read more...]

Since you’re not doing anything…

Donut Strawberry Shortcake

One of the worst things about having to work from home (most of mine are) is all the things that people presume.  Many people dream of this and always want to know what it’s like. So here are some pros and cons of working from home: Cons: Almost everyone thinks you are just sitting at home doing nothing. I must be doing something as I keep getting pay checks for it. I get asked to watch people’s kids because I’m home and just baking and writing so that doesn’t take much concentration. Oh sure. People want me to run errands for them again if I am just sitting at home watching the Lifetime Channel or something. People want to stop by and chat. People want you to come by and chat with them. Or meet for coffee (which is fine once and awhile). People are shocked if your place is not spotless and I get the “but you are home all day…what are you doing?” I’m working that’s what I am doing. People are shocked that you aren’t making full blown gourmet … [Read more...]
