How to Nurse a Sweet Tooth in Park City

I always think I don't have much of a sweet tooth... But I think I may be deluding myself. Really, what is a "sweet tooth"? It's just a label, isn't it? I do know that I'm impulsive and impatient, and I want what I want now- regardless whether it's candy or pizza or that cute dress at Betsey Johnson. Luckily (or unluckily, depending on how you look at it) when the sweet tooth starts screaming, there's plenty of ways to quiet it here in Park City. Aside from work (which i [...]

A Day Late and a... Nevermind.

Hoo-ray! I got Flickr to upload my photos. It was slooooooow, but it worked!
This is yesterday's (Friday) post- I didn't change any of the wording to reflect that. I'll combine today (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday) together, since I'm going to be doing the same thing at work.

This weekend is opening weekend at the resort, so it's been a busy past few days at work. Since most of the staff just arrived within the last week, [...]

This weekend, there were two banquets at work. That meant it was a busy, busy, busy weekend for me!

Yesterday, I was in early, which meant I was in charge of all of the breads for Saturday's banquet. The bread baskets were going to feature the resort's signature sourdough bread and one other kind. Since the second bread hadn't been specified in the banquet order, I got to choose the type of bread I got to make for the second one! I know it sou [...]

These brownies almost didn't make it to the blog. There was a potluck at work, and I boldly ignored the unwritten rule of not trying new recipes on the day of a dinner party. I had this awesome idea of brownies with gooey swirls of caramel... In [...]

Dreamy Dark Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

For some reason, lately I've been craving coconut macaroons. I love them so much, but I really feel like they're an underrated cookie. Maybe it's the coconut. People seem to be either on the "love it" or "hate it" side of the coconut line- there is rarely middle ground.

I looove frosting. I'm the one at the birthday party who wants the corner piece with all the roses piled on top and I'm not afraid to admit that when I'm done making frosting, I eat the scraps out of the bowl.

The world of frosting is big and beautiful- the [...]

Easy-Peasy Fruit Crisp

One of my favorite things about summer is the abundance (and affordability) of produce, especially berries! Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I walked into the produce section, and all I co [...]
