I love my name. I do. I truly adore it. But–my name has been an issue my entire life. It’s Kristan. As in…KristAN. Pronounced like KristANIMAL, minus the -imal part. Over the past 31 years, I’ve been called Kristen, Christina, Kristy-anne and Kristy. My...

So I’ve heard that pie is the new cupcake. Which, I guess is cool. I mean…I like pie.  Don’t we all?  But I got to thinking the other day–there are downsides to pie being the #1 cool dessert kid. Like…it’s sort of messy to try to eat by hand....

Hey guys!! I am guest posting a super special Father’s Day dessert over on Living Locurto today. Be sure to head over there for the recipe!! Click HERE for the post.

I don’t really understand people who say they wish they could be a kid again. Seriously, being a kid is not that great. Being an adult however, is completely awesome. I mean, I get to open a new box of cereal before the other boxes are finished, wear however much eye makeup...

Most of you know that I’ll be arriving in NYC Monday for a week long vacation. While I’m gone, I’ve got lots of awesome guest posts lined up from some of my favorite girls. So treat them nice, leave lots of sweet comments, and be sure to check on me via Facebook...

One thing you may not know about me, is that I’m always full of really good ideas. I’m pretty much the female Benjamin Franklin of our time (with better hair and sparklier), but UNFORTUNATELY, I am not recognized as such. I blame my husband. He stifles my creativity....

I realize that there are some people who judge bloggers like me, who don’t make all of their desserts from scratch. That’s okay. Totally fine. Because to be honest, I’m not what you’d call a “foodie”. I’m addicted to Fruit Roll-Ups, for...

  My husband and I have an agreement that I will not write blog posts about him. Actually, it’s less of an agreement and more of me begging and pleading and him saying “NO”, over and over. And really, I don’t understand what his deal is. I mean,...

I hate to say this, but I am a little bit upset with Pottery Barn. Because really, they should not be allowed to make their store all cozy and inviting when you can’t even afford to buy anything there. They even have like, little living room areas all set up. With couches...

I’ve had horrible vision my entire life.  Which doesn’t really bother me now that I’m an adult, what with the super awesome disposable contact lens industry. Plus, glasses are all trendy now, unlike when I was a kid. It’s so unfair. I mean, all I ever...

Donuts and I have a little problem. It’s called, ‘I like to eat them’. A lot. Such is my love of donuts, that I once ate a donut that fell on the floor.  Which may not have been a big deal except for that a) it happened back in my waitressing days, when I was at...

I love Halloween. A lot. I mean, it’s a holiday that revolves around scaring the daylights out of people and getting free candy. Which obviously, is pretty much the best thing ever. However–there is one aspect of Halloween that I take issue with. Adult costumes. Not...

No doubt by now you’ve heard rumblings of a “canned pumpkin shortage” going around The Blogland. But me, I’m not quite convinced. I liken the so-called “canned pumpkin shortage” to the Loch Ness Monster. Because really, there is compelling...

So, I’m going to be totally honest with you about something today. And as a mom….and a food blogger….it is something I am probably not supposed to say.  But whatever, that is the point of this blog.  Honesty. And through my honesty, maybe I will help some of YOU...
