    The Greatest Waffle Recipe Ever

    I’m kind of not kidding.  Although I didn’t name these waffles, they are honestly the best I’ve ever had.  Not that I’m a big waffle aficionado or anything, but I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect waffle recipe after we got married.  We received a really nice waffle iron as a gift, and I was determined to find a really nice recipe to go with it.

    Fauxstess Cupcakes

    I can’t even count how many times I’ve made these cupcakes.  These were one of the very first blog posts on Lemon Sugar, back when I was taking pictures with my iPhone and just doing a little baking for my family and friends.  I had no idea how much I would grow to love blogging about and taking pictures of food.  In fact, 5 years ago, I probably would not have believed you if you told me I’d have a food blog, a fancy camera with…

    Nutella Crescent Cookies

    Hold the freaking phone. Nutella?  Crescent rolls?  Easy-peasy cookies in no-time? I’m so in. I’m not sure if you remember my post from last week, the Easy Cherry Turnovers?  I told you that I stockpiled crescent rolls at the grocery store over the holiday to fulfill all of my Pinterest Crescent Roll obsessions.  Seven recipes later, I finally used my last can of crescent rolls tonight.  I have this whole processed-food guilt thing happening,  but after tasting these I’m kind of OK with that.

    I Love You Brownies

    Brownies have to be one of my all-time favorite deserts.  I mean, for one thing, they’re chocolate.  They’re sweet, soft, and are just begging for a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a tall glass of cold milk.  There’s just not much better than that. Unless you’re one of those people who don’t like chocolate.  If that’s the case, I can’t imagine how you landed on my little blog – but anyway, have you had your head checked lately?  You don’t like chocolate?   Are…
