Okay, so maybe you didn't get down with Bouillabaisse Day, fish soup really isn't everyone's cup o' tea, but National Cupcake Day? C'mon! What's not to love? These pint-sized baked goods have reigned supreme for the past few years, and are popping up everywhere from fine dining establishments to street corners (helloooooo food trucks!) with no [...]

Celebrate This: National Brownie Day
Brownies are delicate desserts whose rich, chocolaty taste, despite any claims made on boxes, is never instant even if their mix is of the pre-packaged variety. A good homemade brownie is hard to find and even harder to achieve without a little patience, and in my experience bad brownies transform their tasters into a gourmet [...]
Celebrate This: National Parfait Day
Happy Parfait Day! Which in Frenglish means “Happy Perfect Day” and I deduce that any day that celebrates or includes parfaits much truly be a perfect day. Perfect for breakfast, a quick snack or dessert, the parfait really knows no bounds when it comes when and how to eat its luscious layers. Often fruit, but [...]
Celebrate This: Angel Food Cake
I never considered myself a cake person until I began baking them myself. Just as a mother instantly falls in love with her new born child, I couldn't help but flip for my own creations. Unlike most bakers I know, I skipped over most of the basics and dove head-first into more complex batters like [...]
Celebrations Circle: Cups, Jars, and Glasses… oh my!
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: National S’mores Day
Somewhere between the promise to serve one’s country and to respect others, there has to be something about making grade-A s’mores included under Girl Scout Law, right? If not, I demand an amendment be made to include this campfire classic. Today we celebrate National S’mores Day, a day that if celebrated with tradition in mind [...]

Celebrate This: National Ice Cream Sandwich Day
The Earl of Sandwich couldn’t have possibly predicted that his name would go on to be attached to such amazing things. Perhaps had he stepped away from the gambling ring long enough to seek out an oracle, he would have seen all the melted cheeses, lunch meats, and of course, ice cream in his future. [...]
Celebrations Circle: Ice Cream Desserts
Here we are in the thick of summer. If there's one thing I can't get enough of this summer, it's ice cream. Really, I think I could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...and dessert for each of those meals too! Instead of heading to the ice cream store to satisfy each of these cravings, [...]
