Howdy! Remember when I was all “Oh, you guys, I’ll post every week twice a week” and then I disappeared? Whoops. Sorry about that, you guys, truly. (Though, I have been posting recipes over on the Spache the Spatula Facebook for a couple sandwiches and wraps, so you should check those out!) I’m back with […]
This past weekend in Seattle, it was positively sweltering! It hit 93 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, setting records for the region. I managed to get myself a pretty god sunburn on my shoulders and back after spending much of Saturday at Seafair- an annual Summer festival that showcases hydroplane races, the Boeing Air Show, […]
If you are wondering why I have been completely MIA lately, it’s because I finally got a real job, haha (on the subject of life-altering things, I just got my BA diploma in the mail!). Between work all day, and P90X2 (yes, it’s twice as hard as the P90X original workout routine) at night, I am left with literally zero free time (which I am not happy about, by the way, because if you have been reading my blog for a while you know that the way I release my stress is through baking—no baking= stressed out Rachael!).
As much as I love the holidays— the nip in the air, the ability to wear all of my cute scarves, and mittens, and hats— there is one thing that I really dislike about this time of the year. At around this point, every year without fail, I always get sick! It’s always the same sickness, too- bronchitis plus a sinus infection. Sounds fun, right? Not so much. I’ve been sick with my trademark illness combination for close to two weeks now. Today I am finally going to stop being stubborn, and go to the doctor so that I can get some antibiotics and get over this lousy thing!
I’ll start by saying sorry for the pictures as they were taken with my iPhone. But, the exciting part of that is that I FINALLY HAVE AN iPHONE! Yayyy! I made these rolls in Florida where I didn’t have my amazing photographer there to help me out. I love experimenting with different sweet rolls (like […]
I’ll start off by stating the obvious- these are NOT low-calorie rolls. However, they ARE the kind of treat to make on a lazy weekend morning with a couple of friends or, perhaps your kids. Additionally, they are so amazingly scrumptious that you will take one bite and no longer trouble yourself with trifling matters […]
Out of all of the things that I made for Thanksgiving dinner, it was these that I was the most proud of! Having never ever made bread before (or anything including yeast aside from this Gooey Butter Cake), I was positively thrilled with the final result! I’ve always been desperately afraid of making bread because […]
If you haven’t noticed yet, chocolate and peanut butter are two of my very favorite flavors; however, when combined, the flavor produced may just be the best flavor ever. Add some banana in there and you have a combination that can only be described as sensational! Sugar Plum is quickly becoming my very favorite blogger. […]
