Today is my dad’s birthday and in honor of him I’m sharing his favorite recipe of mine, my SALTED CARAMEL BUTTER BARS even though it’s summer and these are heavy, rich and not at all a summery recipe. But he and I are both air signs - rebels - and we buck your rules 😈 While I look like my mom (unless you talk to my sister who thinks I don’t look like anyone in my family 🤔), I have my dad’s personality 100%. He’s the one who gave me my rebellious streak. When others told me to blend in, he encouraged me to stand out. When someone wronged me, he told me to say “f!ck that” and challenge it (much to the chagrin of my mom). So ultimately what I’m saying is, if you don’t like me, blame him 😝 All jokes aside, he wanted a “cake wreck” for his birthday cake - based on the infamous bakery cakes gone so terribly wrong - but it’s surprisingly hard to knowingly make a shitty cake. He insisted I had to write “something” on the cake, so I did just that. He’s getting a vanilla cake with the word “something” written on it. ✨ Recipe for these bars is in my IG bio, or COMMENT “SALTED CARAMEL BUTTER BARS” and I’ll send you the recipe!

Happy Pride Month to those who celebrate! ✨ Whether or not you celebrate (and I really don’t care either way if you do or don’t, so no need to announce your opinion like it’s an airport departure message, Bill), this AMAZING RAINBOW POKE CAKE is perfect for any occasion. 🌈 It’s a traditional vanilla poke cake with a rainbow twist and it just makes it extra fun and special because rainbows are fun. I promise that making it won’t spontaneously conjure your stereo to play Lady Gaga’s pride anthem “Born This Way” but I’m currently working on that feature for the future 👀 Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “RAINBOW POKE CAKE” and I’ll send you the recipe!

{NEW!!} I typically don’t subscribe to the whole “hot girl summer” messaging because most days I feel like a mediocre feral person and “average unhinged person summer” just doesn’t have the same bubbly ring to it. 🤔 But this year the vibes are different and I’m feeling, dare I say, a little hot. (Still deeply unhinged though 😮💨). Whether you’re a certified hottie or just a regular person trying to make it through the summer without melting like the Wicked Witch, I’ve got the perfect treat to kick off the season for us: these BROWN BUTTER VANILLA RICE KRISPY TREATS 💛 These RKTs are no ordinary squares because they’ve been elevated with the addition of nutty browned butter, rich vanilla extract + a secret ingredient that makes them caramelly and delicious ✨ Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPY TREATS” and I’ll send you the recipe!

The weather has been surprisingly mild here in Sacramento, aka hell’s armpit, this spring/pre-summer so far and I’m loving it. As part of my “New Year, New Hayley” plan which began in April (because starting in January is for squares) I’ve been going to the pool more and it’s been so nice to be social and chill with neighbors. ☀️ Except a few days a couple weeks ago, the pool man mixed up the heating elements to the jacuzzi and the pool and the pool was a very warm 100 degrees F which made it seem like I was taking a community bath with my neighbor folk, but hey, YOLO. ✨ One of these days I need to make this NO-CHURN RAINBOW SHERBET ICE CREAM and bring it down to the pool - it is SO delicious, tastes like a creamier version of your fave tart and tangy rainbow sherbet and you do not need an ice cream maker to make it! 🙌🏻🌈 Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “RAINBOW SHERBET ICE CREAM” and I’ll send you the recipe!

This weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer and many of you may be going camping which is my least favorite activity known to man. I’d sooner get a cavity filled than schlep a bunch of crap to the remote wilderness, set up camp, and be eaten alive by mosquitos, bears and cryptids. 🧌 But for those more adventurous types (look at you all Bear Grylls) you’ll probably indulge in s’mores which are an excellent camping treat. However luckily for us pillow princes and princesses who demand working plumbing at all times, I’ve found a way to bring the s’mores to us non-campers with these SMORES COOKIE BARS 🍫🍪 These soft and chewy bars are fully loaded with broken graham cracker pieces, gooey marshmallows + melty puddles of chocolate in a delicious cookie bar base ✨ No roughing it needed!

A lot of the 90s/Y2K trends are coming back with a vengeance and I’m a tad worried. So far everything has been … mild… but I’m dreading the day the shark bite hems and frosted tips and lips come back into play.

Memorial Day is this weekend and if you are UNLIKE me, you probably have a vibrant social life and have fun plans this weekend with friends. 👀 Which is really cool and I’m not at all jealous. Unless you’re going to the lake or river in which case I’m weirdly afraid of amoebae that live in them so I’ll pass. (Side note: this is probably why I don’t have plans and/or why all my immediate friends are literally 80 years old 😑). ANYWAY. I totally have a delish recipe you could bring to your amazingly fun and cool party with your totally fun and cool friend group: these ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. They’re soft and chewy with slightly crisp outer edges and lots of gooey puddles of melty chocolate in every bite 🍪 I mean, if these won’t win you friends, I don’t know what will. ✨ Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES” and I’ll send you the recipe!

COLD BREW COFFEE PIE is what happens when you take cold brew coffee, mix it with a few pantry ingredients and freeze that into a creamy, dreamy, no-bake pie.

2023 is going to be my year, I feel it in my bones.

For instance, I went to the pool yesterday and had a blast. It sounds so simple but for a chronically anxious workaholic this was a big feat. 🌟 Gold stars all around.

SLUTTY BROWNIES are not harlots, trollops or people of the night as the name suggests but rather brownies with a lot of stuff going on (I mean, same). Don’t ask me; I was not the one who originally decided to name a food something sexy as I personally don’t find food sexy. Although there was one time when I went to a hot chef’s restaurant and it was a very heady meal and I am probably not allowed to visit the Miami Marriott hotel anymore but that’s another story for another time. 👀🥵 ANYWAYS, these brownies are fully loaded with a chocolate chip cookie base, an Oreo cookie center and a brownie topping which is just outrageous and delicious and sinful and all the good things you could ever want ❤️ Just pure unadulterated pleasurable brownies.

To dads who stepped up when mom wasn’t around. To those kids who wish they could celebrate with their mom today, or those who are hurting today for whatever reason. We see you and we celebrate you today. 💖
I am especially grateful to my own mom who has encouraged my weirdness and rebellious streak since day 1 and has been my bestie, travel buddy and confidante. And I of course would be remiss to mention my adorable son Jack who has made my life exponentially better since he came into my life.
However you celebrate today, enjoy your day 💐

I haven’t had a proper vacation in a looong time (January 2020) and the last time I took one (January 2020) when I returned home, we entered a worldwide pandemmi and my life fell apart so maybe my vacations are cursed? 🤔 Unclear. I also have a very hard time ~relaxing~ as I believe that seemed to have skipped my genetic makeup and therefore I always feel like I need to be doing something every moment of the live long day. I would love to just go to a cabana on the beach, sip an endless supply of piña coladas and read a mountain of books, but either I have undiagnosed AD(H)D or I just am a psycho because I’ll read like a paragraph and then be plotting my next move. 😫 Until I can learn to sit still and relax, I’ll just bring the vacay vibes to me with this TRIPLE COCONUT POKE CAKE 🥥 Super coconutty, moist and delicious with a tropical flavor in every yummy bite! 🌴 You’ll love this, coconut fans!

I’ve been online dating off and on for 9 years and I can say the following things with 100% certainty: if a person says “no drama”, they ARE the drama. If a person says “I’m a nice guy”, you should immediately look for a red flag the size of Brazil to rise above their profile, and if they say they’re “funny”, it usually means they rely on making dumb, goofy faces or being around funny people to APPEAR funny but are actually, in fact, not funny. I find if you are TRULY a nice, drama free and a funny person, you don’t advertise those things 🤷🏼♀️ Anyways, you’re welcome and good luck out here in the dating world 🫡 It’s the Wild West. ✨ Besides wading through troughs of drama-filled, unfunny “nice” people, I’ve been dreaming of cake and this CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE is at the top of my list. It’s moist, flavorful, really chocolaty and makes a small size perfect for snacking 💖 Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “CHOCOLATE SNACK CAKE” and I’ll send you the recipe!

In my observations from online dating, it seems like everyone woke up one day and decided they were hikers. There’s so many hiking related date activities and proposals that I feel like I was in a brief coma and missed this trend. When did everyone decide to hit Half Dome and become a mountaineer? I mean, don’t get me wrong; I love walking. But on a date? Maybe let me figure you out before we go into the remote wilderness together, buddy. 🏔️ The last thing I want to do is rough it on a date with someone I have zero chemistry with in mountain lion country. At that point I’d rather be attacked by the bobcat. Anyway, this has nothing to do with these BEST BANANA BARS but they will console me until I find someone who doesn’t need to hike 24/7. These bars are soft, delicious and packed with banana flavor and have an addictive cream cheese frosting 🍌 Super easy to make too!

In my observations from online dating, it seems like everyone woke up one day and decided they were hikers. There’s so many hiking related date activities and proposals that I feel like I was in a brief coma and missed this trend. When did everyone decide to hit Half Dome and become a mountaineer? I mean, don’t get me wrong; I love walking. But on a date? Maybe let me figure you out before we go into the remote wilderness together, buddy. 🏔️ The last thing I want to do is rough it on a date with someone I have zero chemistry with in mountain lion country. At that point I’d rather be attacked by the bobcat. Anyway, this has nothing to do with these BEST BANANA BARS but they will console me until I find someone who doesn’t need to hike 24/7. These bars are soft, delicious and packed with banana flavor and have an addictive cream cheese frosting 🍌 Super easy to make too!

Every time I reshare these FUDGY LEMON BROWNIES, a recipe I made and haphazardly named in 2016, I get a few folks demanding to know why they’re called brownies when there is no chocolate involved. I don’t know, Joanne. If I had to answer to every dumb mistake I’ve made since 2016 we’d be here until the sun blows up 50 billion years from now, but wouldn’t you rather be productive and make the damn bars instead? Let’s not debate semantics from the past - these bars may not have chocolate involved, but they have a brownie like texture that’s fudgy and delicious and bursting with lemon flavor 🍋 If you love lemon desserts, you’re going to love these. ✨ Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “LEMON BROWNIES” and I’ll send you the recipe!

I just got some AirPods as a reward to myself for losing 20lbs. When I went to get them, I asked the cashier if it was easy to program with my phone because I admittedly am a technologically-stupid millennial. I mean, when I was 14 I was basically coding an entire website by hand to customize my MySpace profile like I was a CIA agent and I was of the generation where the internet screamed a warning at you when you logged on so you’d THINK I’d be more equipped to program headphones, but alas, it was a worry I had. Thankfully it was easy and I was able to figure it out. 🫡 Now I need to think of a reward for the next 20lb loss, but perhaps it won’t be something that ages me as I feel asking a 20 year old whether or not my AirPods would easily connect to my iPhone should be grounds for putting me in an urn. 💀 Anyway, here’s a throwback recipe for these PEANUT BUTTER CUP BARS 🥜 They taste just like a deep dish, super thick PB cup but are entirely homemade and super simple! ✨ Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “PEANUT BUTTER CUP BARS” and I’ll send you the recipe!

I decided to wake up and choose destruction last week and rejoined the dating apps after a year’s break. I usually join once a year for about a week and give up because it really is a cesspool out there of just copy/paste people. 😫 For some reason, a lot of the men in particular love to show off their greatest catch by way of an actual fish in their profile pictures. I don’t know if these guys think the hunter gatherer look is like a “thing” but I truly hope it works for them. 🐟 For me personally, I’d rather date the deceased big mouth bass in their hands. At least the fish and I share a mutual misery in common, and it doesn’t say crude things in its Bumble bio that make me want to jump into a sinkhole 🙃LEMON MELTAWAY COOKIES have nothing to do with my dating life but they do bring me a semblance of serotonin which is needed to weed-whack through the swamps of Bumble and Hinge. These cookies are tender, buttery, and have a lovely lemon flavor + glaze you’ll love 🍋 Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “LEMON MELTAWAY COOKIES” and I’ll send you the recipe!

I’ve been doing my “hot girl walks” (as the kids say) every day and they’re making me feel better even if I am listening to the most miserable music possible while doing them. 🥲 I also have an aversion to sneakers because I feel so clunky in them and they are just not fashionable to me, so I’ve been walking like 3 miles a day in Doc Martens which is kind of insane. 👀 Catch me outside stomping around listening to gloomy music in my platform boots ready to kick some ass or cry, depending on my mood 🪐 The temperature has been steadily increasing here which is souring my mood more and making me crave all the tropical things, like my fave piña coladas. These PIÑA COLADA CUPCAKES would be perfect to serve up for a party, Mother’s Day or just because! 🍍🥥 You get all the pineapple and coconut flavors without the booze (though sipping a frosty one on the side is HIGHLY encouraged!).

Every year around this time I get low key ~depressed~ and it’s because summer is coming. To most, summer means the beach, boogie boarding, primo weather and fun in the sun. To Sacramentans, it means a post-apocalyptic hellscape in Satan’s armpit. It’s miserably hot - inhospitable even. And it is possible to get seasonal affective disorder in the summer and I do, so since it’s been over 90 degrees lately I’ve been kinda moody and in my sad, miserable girl era. 🥲 Thankfully next week it’s back to the 60s (thank you weather gods) and I’ll be maniacally laughing in the storm clouds like a psycho. ⛈️ Anyway, if you’re looking for a summery recipe that won’t make you feel as miserable as I am, these KEY LIME PIE BARS will fit the bill! They’re creamy, dreamy, super simple to make and have that addictive sweet + tangy key lime flavor we all love 💚 Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT “KEY LIME PIE BARS” and I’ll send you the recipe!

I think my phone is haunted. I upgraded back in January and Siri has been inserting herself into my conversations randomly when I am not even touching or using my phone.

Is our conversation riveting to you? 👀 Just yesterday I was getting in my car (again with my phone tucked away with the Lock Screen up) and she said “I don’t know about that.” About WHAT, Siri? Do you have a premonition or something? Is my vehicle safe to drive? Are you trying to contact me about my car’s extended warranty?

To some, today may be any old day; but to others, today is a day of celebration 🍃 I personally do not partake, but one time I did try the Mary Jane as a teenager right before I was set to do a belly dancing performance. Apparently I wasn’t bothered by smoking a brain-altering substance before doing choreography 🙃 After the performance, which I felt I absolutely SMOKED (heh) I started to get a little paranoid and realized I had to ride home with my mom. It was January and I began to fear she would smell the ‘bud on me so I did what any logical person would do and stuck my head out of the window like a Labrador while we traveled 65 miles an hour down the freeway. 🥴 She kept asking if I was okay and I kept saying I was just “hot” after dancing like one does when they are a bit overheated in January after doing suspicious things. 👀 Needless to say, she didn’t catch on but I was too scared to continue my imbibing. 💚 However, if you’re celebrating today, I have just the munchie for you: these COOKIE DOUGH PRETZEL BITES! Salty pretzels sandwiched around edible cookie dough and coated in chocolate ✨ Sweet, salty, perfectly delish. Recipe is in my IG bio, or COMMENT “COOKIE DOUGH PRETZELS” and I’ll send ya the recipe.

So I started Weight Watchers because I just got the itch that 2023 will be my year that I do the things. So far it’s been a week and I’m doing good but learning about foods has been..interesting. And if you’re clutching your pearls in mock horror that I’ll soon be suggesting a banana for dessert instead of a scrumptious scratch-made cake, no need to fret! This blog will remain the same 🎂 Cakes will live to reign another day. Plus, I need an excuse for cake, too! 💖 Like for instance, this LEMON BUNDT CAKE. 🍋 It’s SUPER lemony and so delicious. No shortage of springy lemon flavor here! A MUST make. Recipe is in the link in my IG bio, or COMMENT: “LEMON BUNDT CAKE” for the recipe to be sent to your DMs!

Pardon my absence for the past week, but things have been quite hectic around these parts! For starters, Jack is having a minor surgical procedure Wednesday so while my body has been earthside, my mind has been somewhere up in the stars 🪐 I’m sure he’ll be fine, but I have become a whole helicopter mom and of course I am on edge so every little thing is setting me off. 😫 To say I’m excited for the weekend is an understatement! Wishing desperately that I had this BERRIES N CREAM POKE CAKE to stress eat. 🍓 This delicious, springy cake features a moist vanilla cake base, a mixed berry compote filling, and a fresh whipped cream frosting. It’s SO dreamy and perfect for spring parties or Mother’s Day coming up! 💖 Recipe is in my IG bio, or COMMENT: “BERRY POKE CAKE” for the recipe to be sent to your DMs!

I don’t know what exactly kick started it, but I’ve been having these terrible nostalgia attacks lately. They feel like little heartaches when I remember the early-mid 2000s, listening to certain emo songs in my room, going on MySpace and chatting with internet strangers and taking posed selfies before we knew what the term was with my Kodak digital camera. 🥲 All these memories have been FLOODING back to me. I even remembered concerts I had forgotten I’d seen?! Like how? Maybe it’s because the world feels scary and uncertain all the time and it’s hard to filter out any semblance of good news from the barrage of bad news, but the mid 2000s just seemed like a simpler time. 🤷🏼♀️ That has me jonesing for some nostalgic treats like Fruity Pebbles, my all-time fave cereal, and these BAKERY STYLE FRUITY PEBBLE COOKIES. 🌈 They are sunshine and rainbows packed into whopping 6oz cookies that taste like cereal and happiness ✨ Recipe is in the link in my IG bio or *COMMENT*: “FRUITY PEBBLE COOKIES” without any emojis for the recipe to be sent to your DMs!
