I’ve been baking a lot of cookies lately. Don’t really know why. I’m that kind of baker.. I get into a mood, and I’ll continue baking in a certain ‘genre’ until I’m bored with it. Don’t get me started on the “Summer of Scones” last year. I may have been classified as ‘obsessed’ by my …

Roughly this time last year, I had some fun developing Pumpkin Spice Bites from Abby Johnson Dodge’s original Nutella Brownie Bites recipe. If you haven’t picked up Desserts 4 Today, really, what are you waiting for? That little book packs a powerful punch. So many recipes with so few ingredients! Abby really is a dessert …
It’s true. We’re nearly at the end of September, and most schools have been back in session for a month already. Not having kids returning to school to mark the occasion, it’s almost scary to me how quickly the month flew by. Not long ago, I was enjoying one of my favorite snacks – apple …

I have been to the land of King Arthur. I visited Avalon and Camelot, and saw Excalibur from afar. I walked its hallowed halls, baked in its beautiful wood burning oven, and even broke bread with its residents. At this point, you’re thinking to yourself – Amber’s had one too many boozy Margarita Bars. But …
Today marks my first post for the Secret Recipe Club, an online exchange among food bloggers created by Amanda from Amanda’s Cookin’. The idea behind this is that we’ll secretly be assigned a fellow food blogger’s site, and we must pick a recipe from that site to make for our own. Since I love finding …
Hey y’all! Today my fantastically funny and sparkly friend Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen is guest posting. Every time Kristan posts, I make sure I don’t have a drink in my hand, because I’m sure to be howling with laughter as I read, and it’s not ideal to spray the monitor with Diet …
Jamie and I “met” on twitter a long long time ago, and got to emailing when she needed a bunch of signs and business cards made in a hurry for a charity event. Being the graphic design guru that I am (well.. I can get around alright, anyway), I was happy to help her out …
