Strawberry Marshmallow Cookie Cups {Happy 4th Bloggiversary To Me!}

January 26, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 4 Comments

So, I totally did something dumb. I missed my own blog's birthday! Seriously, how this happened, I don't know. Actually, I do know: it's because I was sick, I was busy planning my own birthday, and because I am lame and forget minor details like the DAY IN WHICH MY BLOG WAS BORN. In other words, I'm a terrible blogger. #loserstatus It's hard to believe that four years ago, I created this little space in the interwebs. I just wanted to post pictures of my frilly, fun-flavored … [Continue reading...]

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Footballs

January 25, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 4 Comments

Okay, let's get real. I don't watch football. I know, I know. Shocker of the Year. But it just doesn't interest me, ya know? It isn't necessarily because football doesn't interest me; it's mostly because A) I have other things I could be doing than watching grown men tackle one another; and B) the commentators. You know, the men who have to narrate every. single. play, every single breath a player takes, every itch they scratch, every thought they think... it's just so distracting and … [Continue reading...]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Baklava

January 23, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 4 Comments

So. I kinda sorta trashed the living ish outta this baklava, but I’m not sure anyone will be too upset about it. I remember the first time I tried Greek food. I was dating this guy — we’ll call him A — and he and his family lived in downtown Sacramento in this gorgeous 40’s-era mansion. […]

Red Velvet Scones

So as some of you know, I got back from a cruise recently (and will be posting pics and inspired recipes soon!). Overall, the experience was wonderful. I met so many awesome people, gained so much exposure and knowledge for photography and blogging, and got to travel to the Caribbean islands of St. Maarten, St. […]

Homemade Hostess Cupcakes

It’s no secret that I work from home full-time… and that I am so incredibly blessed to blog full-time, work in my home, and be my own boss. But let’s get something straight: working from home has its difficulties for sure. And before y’all roll your eyes as you head to work in 9am rush-hour traffic, hear […]

The Easiest Lemon Tarts

January 12, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 7 Comments

I struggle to call this a recipe since it’s about the furthest thing from it. You know when you just happen to throw something together and of course everyone raves over it and asks for the recipe and you’re like, “um, I put ground sausage in my boxed stuffing mix” and they treat you like the […]

Avalanche Cookie Clusters

January 11, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 13 Comments

When I was in high school, one of the coolest things to do was to visit Downtown Sacramento. Now mind you, I am a kid from the suburbs, about 20 minutes away from Downtown. But seeing as the most exciting thing in my town was the halfway abandoned Yogurt Delite, Downtown seemed so cool and exotic […]

Soft & Chewy Red Velvet Cookies

January 8, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 1 Comment

Some of you may not know, but my dad is a popular history teacher at the local high school. And because we live in a smaller kind of city, I tend to run into his current or former students quite often. Most of the time, I’m totally cool when they ask me if I’m Mr. […]

Peanut Brittle Cupcakes

January 6, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 9 Comments

Peanut brittle is one of those candies that I totally love but often overlook. One, because it isn’t sold in many stores, and two, because it isn’t as common as your average M&M’s or Skittles. But when I am around it? Lawd have mercy, homedog. I’m scarfing it down like it’s my day job. It’s just so […]

Sparkling Mimosa Muffins

January 5, 2015 by thedomesticrebel 6 Comments

I am definitely not a fancy alcohol drinker. I mean, I do like having umbrellas in my drinks and the more cherries, the better, but when it comes to actually-fancy things, I’m out. One time a friend wanted me to try Jameson because it was supposedly sooo much better than the Crown Royal that I worship. […]
