They can be tough to spot lumbering through the grass but I hear it's good luck to find one in your yard.

It's flower time! Bring it on, plants! Bring it on, cupcakes! Show me what you got!

Brownies are pretty exciting on their own, then you put them on a stick and everybody gets all jazzed, then you dip them in colored candy and it gets kind of swoony in here and THEN you come out with all sorts of sprinkles and I'm pretty certain we've lost several to a case of the vapors.

Let's pretend Valentine's Day is still going on, there's so much awesome lovely food out there. I like my sweets to have a little angry edge. Domo it is!

It's rainy season for sure, but that's good because it means we have the chance to see more rainbows! Here in Seattle there isn't a lot of color yet. People here tend to dress like the weather in grays and browns and greens. On the grayest of gray days I'd like to have a few of these cookies stashed away somewhere to brighten things up a little.

I half expect a playing card minion to come along and start slapping red paint around to cover up for a planting mistake.

cooking something inside itself and flavored with itself is so self-referentially satisfying. It's so meta it was practically invented for the internet.

Let's hope the marriage is fully operational and stays that way.

Most meals I make end up looking like the right hand portion of this bento; a mush of different types of food. I figure, it all ends up in the same place, who cares how it looks? Obviously someone cares. I'm so ashamed.

Do you think it would be possible to resist trying one of each?

When I was a teenager I used to go to Denny's all the time with my friends and get a banana split. Without fail, if I turned my back for a second, my ice cream would be destroyed. Here's a solution. Take one. It's yours. Leave me be!

Cold summer soups are right around the corner! I love watermelon and mango and hot summer days. Hurry up, sunshine!

Wouldn't this springtimey cake make a lovely hat for a garden party? I went to a wedding performance art thing once where there was a girl dressed as a wedding cake with real cake on her hat. She wandered through the party and bent down so people could take bites. I'm pretty sure anyone with an edible hat would be the life of the party.

Let's have a dinner party and everyone will bring a Dr. Suess themed dish! I've got the "Oh, the Places You'll Go" silver dollar pancakes all ready! If only we could incorporate the oh-so-controversial rainbow pancakes http://stuff.icanhascheezburger.com/2010/09/22/cute-food-photos-one-bite-of-breakfast-rainbow/ from a while back, we'd have a masterpiece on our hands.

I'd like to think that this cake really does have lots and lots of separate little layers, each one wrapped in its own pretty tissue paper just a little different than the one below it.

Why is it so unusual to see colored sugar cookies that don't come in a frozen tube? I honestly don't know if I've seen anything other than a macaron in this lovely shade of red. And why not? I say we start a revolution of homemade sugar cookies.
