Tiny Chocolate Tortes
Ok, so I have a confession to make. While cleaning up after hosting brunch this morning for Mother’s Day, I may have picked up one of these babies with my bare hands, plopped a big helping of fresh whipped cream on top and shoved almost the whole thing in my mouth. It took less than ten seconds, but it was undoubtedly ten of the best seconds of my life. These are fantastic. You should probably drop everything you’re doing and go make these, right now.…

Baked Cinnamon French Toast
Welp, the Christmas Tree is packed away, decorations are down, the Christmas music is over until next year, and the girls go back to school tomorrow. The days of staying up too late and sleeping in are in the past, and the countdown to summer has started. Seriously, is it summer yet? I’m over the cold. It’s all fun and games until the Christmas decorations come down, and then it’s just cold. And cold without Christmas is no fun AT. ALL. But – bright side…

Um…about those cupcakes…
Those (Lemon Drop Cupcakes)? Apparently, they work. Less than 12 hours after eating two of them, my sister was in labor! Welcome to the world, Baby Evan! And many, many congratulations to my sister and brother-in-law. I’m a proud sister and a proud aunt today!

Spinach & Gruyere Quiche
Every time I think of quiche, I am reminded of weekend shopping trips with my mom and sisters. We’d leave early on a Saturday morning and head to the mall or shopping centers so we could be there when they’d open, and we’d shop until after lunchtime. I can’t even imagine how much money we spent, but we hit every store in the shopping center, sometimes twice, until we were done. After our marathon trip, we’d head out to eat a late lunch at the…

Lemon Sunshine Cupcakes
If you follow along on my Facebook page, you now know that I am not a big fan of storms. In fact, that might be the understatement of the century. If I have a phobia, storms are it. Not just thunderstorms, I’m talking about full-on, hail and wind – tornadic storms. Growing up smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley, I’ve spent most of my life keenly aware of impending bad weather during the spring months. When I was a kid and before the Weather…

Buffalo Chicken Bites
My husband is obsessed with Buffalo Chicken. Wings, dip, tenders, pasta, even the Subway sandwich. Since I don’t eat meat off the bone, (I know, I’m strange) until recently I’d never really tried anything flavored with hot sauce. In the past year or so, since the influx of Buffalo chicken recipes and entrees at various restaurants, I’ve discovered that I do really like the flavor! A good friend of mine makes an amazing Buffalo Chicken dip, and I’m sure that will make an appearance on…

Your favorite posts of 2012 and a giveaway!
As 2012 comes to a close, I have to say that I feel like celebrating. Lemon Sugar has grown so much this year – and I have to thank you, my readers, for your part in that. If you weren’t helping to spread the word by sharing on social media, pinning on Pinterest, or tweeting on Twitter, my little food blog wouldn’t have grown the way it has. So, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. To my family, who just reads because I…

Share-It Saturday: Week 6
Another fabulous week on the books, and tons of great links were submitted last week! From the photography to the recipes to the text of the blog posts, you all are inspiring and continually pushing me to do bigger and better things in my own kitchen. Speaking of my kitchen, I have a busy day today – I’ve got several dozen cupcakes to fill and frost. Right now I’m feeling good and ahead of the game, so cross your fingers that the day continues to…
