Red Velvet Pizzelle Valentine Cookies




Over the years, I've become kind-of obsessed with trying to make pizzelles different colors and flavors. Playing with color is fun but oftentimes you need to omit the yolks-- like if you're making blue pizzelles. Blue food coloring + yellow egg yolks always = green pizzelles. Since it's almost Valentine's day, I picked up some red velvet cake mixes for holiday baking and experimenting. Turning a red velvet cake mix into a batch of pizzelle cookies wasn't what I had in mind. It was definitely an afterthought and even then, I was worried it wouldn't turn out how I had hoped. Amazingly, it worked.

New Year Lemon Spritz



HAPPY NEW YEAR! I'm so excited for lots of new fun adventures and food in 2014. This was once a dream and I'm so happy that baking, crafting, and blogging are now my real life and full-time job that I do every single day. Thanks for being a part of my little world because I couldn't do it and wouldn't make it without an audience and cheerleaders.

Fun with Gingerbread


I spent my Monday finishing up the last of some gingerbread dough. I made two very different styles of reindeer, gingerbread "likenesses" of my husband and myself, AND then got tired and did the rest in the cookie press/gun. You can check out my full tutorial here. Happy New Year's Eve! My husband and I will be spending what I hope to be a quiet evening at home. Our dog hates all of the loud noises associated with this holiday and hopefully we can distract her from completely destroying the house. We'll see!
