Every year, on March 14, aka Pi(e) Day (3.14, get it?) I bake a pie. I’m heading down to Seattle this week and the last thing I need in my house is a whole pie. Or half a pie. Actually, any pie at all is a bad idea. Instead of leaving you high and dry,…

Cheddar Buttermilk Scones
My mom is a vulture when it comes to homemade carb-alicious goodies. In all fairness, aren’t we all? I posted a picture of these Cheddar Buttermilk Scones on Instagram and I promptly receive a text, “U have any scones left?” She’s in such a rush to confirm the availability of scones she can’t even type…
Lemon Poppy Seed Coffee Cake

She couldn’t leave it at that, either. She pressed further, “why cake?” Why not cake? There are so many aspects to cake that…
