My baking friend and coworker, Erin Lippitz, put a fun spin on Mother's Day last weekend when she made this adorable "Monster's Day" cake for her mom and sister.

Erin's sister, Laura, texted her a photo of a similar cake, requesting that Erin try baking it.

Health nuts, turn away, because the recipe I'm about to share is all kinds of wrong.

Lately, Rob has been poring over "The Big Book of BBQ" and saw a mention, but not a recipe, of White Barbecue Sauce.

After blogging last week about garden art and recently about trying to turn my garden into a bona-fide hobby, I thought I'd blog with photos of some of my mom's garden art. (Sunday is Mother's Day, after all.)

We are getting so, so close to finishing Erin and Tom's computer room.

Our favorite Beer Can Chicken recipe is pretty solid, especially if you're making it on a weekend.

My sister is in love with cute office supplies.

I think this may be the result of keeping her desk far cleaner than I do, but that's just a theory.

I pretty much love anything old, retro, funky or red.

Rob and I are getting antsy to try making hypertufa, but the weather and our schedules just haven't cooperated.

I wrote recently about how I'm trying to jazz up my own interest in gardening.

I've always gardened halfheartedly, sometimes keeping up with the weeds only to lapse into excuses and then frustration when they take over.
