I couldn’t find more of a perfect time to join the “February Drop-Off” than the present moment. With yesterdays unfortunate game-day winnings and the dreaded hallmark holiday approaching there is no better time than to stuff ones face with delicious calories of sweet sweet heavenly joy.

I like big bundts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can’t deny. When a chef walks in with an itty bitty plate and a round thing in its face I get….. hungray. Yup. Sir Mix A Lot may have been a one hit wonder, but lemme tell you, this bundt cake is much, much, […]

I am literally melting right now. It’s 100 degrees in June, IN THE MIDWEST, which is always in a constipated state when it comes to a cool breeze that those on either coast get to experience. We have zero relief. And if any wind from the Mississippi blows in your direction, you hold your breath […]

  You ever feel after a great nights sleep (are those even still possible?) that an elephant is sitting on your eyeballs?  I’m on cup of coffee numero tres and am considering stapling my eyelids to my brow bone right now just to get me through until my mid afternoon nap. Yes, that is part […]

This month has been complete torture not being able to bake anything. Seriously. I have been trying to lay off the baked goods as 99 percent of my pants aren’t fitting and homegirl does not have a cash flow to replace the old pantalones. But since the Super Bowl is basically a holiday I figured I […]
