I'm a sucker for anything sweet and loaded with carbs. This includes (but is certainly not limited to): cakes, cupcakes, chocolate, pies, muffins, and well, the list goes on and on. The only downside is how messy my favorite treats can sometimes be! That's why I am super excited about finding all these delicious recipes [...]

Celebrate This: Mulled Cider Day
The moment temperatures fall below 60°F something inside of me changes, I suddenly crave apple cider. Nothing warms the heart's cockles and chilly hands quite like a steaming hot mug of mulled cider and when jugs start to disappear from supermarket shelves come spring time, it's a sad, sad day in my house. Here are [...]
Celebrate This: National Coffee Day
Today we celebrate an import that needs no introduction, no advertising team or even much more than a lump or two of sugar to appreciate its greatness. While I could, with great ease, go on to list all of the things that make coffee an irreplaceable culinary resource, I'm positive anyone who's reading this from [...]
Celebrate This: Strawberry Cream Pie Day
Now that it's finally cool enough to switch our ovens back on and pack up the grill until next year, it's time to celebrate the beginning of baking seasonal with ultimate transitional baked good: strawberry cream pie. Light, fluffy and juicy, strawberry cream pie weens us off of summer with its refreshing flavors, whilst foreshadowing [...]
Celebrate This: Ancestor Appreciation Day

Food is often what connects us to our past whether its a madeleine that takes us back to our childhood a la Proust, or a sacred recipe passed down from generation to generation. What better way to honor [...]

Pancakes, unlike waffles or donuts, don't require special equipment other than a frying pan and a spatula, making them the perfect [...]
Celebrate This: The Autumnal Equinox
More so than years past, I've been hearing loads of chit chat about this natural event and the things folks are doing to celebrate the one of two days out of the year where we, as earthlings, witness roughly the same amount of daylight as we do night. I too plan on attending one or [...]

Celebrate This: White Chocolate Day
Today we celebrate everyone's favorite misnomer, white chocolate. Not technically a chocolate, white chocolate contains no cocoa solids and is merely a confectionary derivative of chocolate, a definition too long to fit on any candy wrapper. In honor of chocolate's creamy white cousin, we've gathered some of the richest, most decadent recipes in the blogosphere, [...]
