Happy Fathers Day! If you’re anything like us, you’ll keep it pretty low key. We’ll be going church, taking it easy at home, and eating what better desert than… APPLE PIE. Every dad loves a good pie, right? This is the perfect recipe to celebrate all fathers and hubbys. …Speaking of papas, my father brought [...]

{ photos by Strawberry Koi } There’s been a fantastic little recipe going around for sometime now, but I thought I should remind us all of it again… lest we forget true perfection in a cookie. These cookies are so utterly delicious… and there’s really no way around it. We like to use Ghirardelli Dark [...]

{ source } These adorable kitten cookies going around pinterest and the blogmosphere have been driving me mad! I tell you, I cannot resist cute things. Even though it does seem a little morbid, I guess… but I want these wittle kittens next to my coffee-mug everyday. EVERY. DAY. { source } …I did a [...]

Learning to make a good latte myself has led me down a dangerous path… or maybe it’s a really good path? Yes. I followed this recipe by Bakers Royal to make my own caramel sauce from scratch, and now I’ve been using this for my coffee and lattes (Naomi has the loveliest presentation and photography, [...]

Ok, I know everyone likes French Toast and I’m sure everyone will completely roll their eyes upon seeing this “recipe” for French Toast… I mean, what could be simpler? EXACTLY. I have never been a fan of sweet breakfasts, as I mentioned in another Sweet Sundays, but somethings happened… something HUGE, because now… now I [...]

Most of the time, I am not a big pancake fan… they’re just too sweet for me (is that even possible?) But when it comes to these homemade pancakes via Martha Stewarts recipe, I’m a TOTAL fan. Fluffy, moist and rich… they’re super easy to make and so good. Of course Thomas made them though… [...]

Something both Thomas and myself easily fall victim to, is cinnamon rolls. Whether they’re for breakfast or desert, they are the perfect combination between sweet and comforting… and most importantly to me, go BEAUTIFULLY with a cup of coffee… I found this recipe via food network/Alton Brown and it’s perfection. Some people say they have [...]

There are three types of cakes that ruin every diet plan I ever attempt… chocolate cake, pumpkin (bread) and yes… carrot cake. Carrot cake is so dangerous, because it’s just as satisfying as it is sweet and decadent. I could eat eat it three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. And be perfectly happy. [...]

{ Photography by me // Recipe via Like Mother Like Daughters } I’m always looking for the perfect pumpkin bread. Moist, subtlety sweet and rich in spices. Pumpkin bread really is so perfect, because it satisfies both a sweet tooth and hunger pains (a mother’s answer to a hectic morning for her or her impatient [...]

The Cafe Latte, a classic Italian coffee drink that is 1 part espresso, 1 part milk and 1 part foam (latte actually meaning “milk” in Italian). I briefly brushed upon making a latte with one of my earlier posts on coffee (with a moka pot). I’d like to start documenting, or rather, sharing my endeavors [...]
