Sometimes, to make small talk with the cashiers at stores, I'll say "I'm so excited I found this! My ____ will love it." Their response? "Oh, is it ___'s birthday?" Birthday? What? Who? No! "Actually, it's for Christmas." "Oh... You're awfully early!" Um, not really. I mean, if I

Though if I could actually lay my eyeballs on it, I probably would. It'd be like laying on a smooth, velvety blanket of happiness. Everyone loves velvet happiness blankets. Normally, I really despise making cakes. They're
- [Twinkie Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/02/22/twinkie-cupcakes/) - I don't know if any of you are Walking Dead fans, but the show is pretty much the glue that bonds me, my brother and Jessie together. When it comes to zombies and those crazy-annoying characters, we love it... to DEATH. Whatever. Well, they do. I want so badly to love it to death but honestly, the
- [Monster Cookie Cups](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/04/16/monster-cookie-cups/) - So let's get one thing straight, mmmkay? I am kinda sorta scared of the dark. And by "scared of the dark", I mean I'm positively PETRIFIED of the dark when I'm alone... in my house... because that's obviously the perfect setting for a sexy teen scary movie in which said sexy teen (me) is tortured
- [Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/04/28/vanilla-bean-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - I have an arch-nemesis. Two, actually. And you'll never guess who or what they are. ... Suspenseful enough? Okay, I'll spare you the grueling details and lack of sleep since you're dying to know (you were dying to know, right?!) Baked potatoes and chocolate chip cookies. Yup, two food items I absolutely LOATHE. Not loathe eating, but loathe
- [Churro Bugle Mix](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/04/30/churro-bugle-mix/) - A few days ago, Jessie asked me if we wanted to go to his friend's show at a local restaurant. I said sure, thinking we'd just stand around and drink and leave after an hour or so of loud music. Hi, I'm Hayley and I'm 90 years old. When we got there, after a particularly
- [Bubblegum Vodka](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/05/10/bubblegum-vodka/) - Y'all ready to get FUNKY?! I understand if you say no. I don't know how I feel about someone asking me if I'd like to get funky. But if it dealt with bubblegum vodka, then I wouldn't mind what enticing term they'd use--I'd be all over that 'ish like white on rice! I know this isn't
- [Circus Animal Cookie Truffles](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/05/29/circus-animal-cookie-truffles/) - Let's talk proximity. I like it. Lots of it. Especially when it deals with people I don't know. 'Strangers', if you will. See, I was not raised in a "love everyone, everyone's your friend" household where I could openly trust anyone and everything was dandy and people held hands and sang happy songs and there
- [Lite Triple Coconut Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/06/14/lite-triple-coconut-cupcakes/) - I am not a picky eater. Never have been, probably never will be. I love food too much to discriminate too deeply. Plus, if you lived in my household, you could never survive as a picky eater, anyway. My parents played the chicken-nugget-and-Kraft diet with my brother for a little bit, but after awhile, if he
- [Monster Cookie Dough Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/06/19/monster-cookie-dough-cupcakes/) - Sometimes I really dislike being a blogger. Hooooold up, kids. This ain't no quitting speech or anything and there is an influx of ridiculous treats coming your way. No worries or anything. But if you're a personal blogger, you know what an absolute joy it is to describe to people what you do. "So you... bake... for

- [Drumstick Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/07/18/drumstick-cupcakes/) - I've had my new car for less than a week now. It's been wonderful. However, the only wonderful part is having the car, driving the car, and being in the car. When I tell people about the car, somehow, their common sense shuts off like a steel trap and they turn stupid and start telling me
- [Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/07/24/chocolate-peanut-butter-cupcakes/) - Yesterday, I realized something kind of sad. I realized that Jessie and I aren't the coolest couple ever. We were *very sadly* ousted from that title the second I showed up to DSW with my mom and saw what I deemed the obvious coolest couple ever. First of all, have you been to DSW?
- [Deep Dish Biscoff Peanut Butter Chip Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/07/25/deep-dish-biscoff-peanut-butter-chip-cookies/) - Uhhhh, I know it's a mouthful, but trust me, it's a mouthful you need in your mouthhole right now. I deserved a freaking mouthful of these after the crazy day I had on Monday. After lucking out at Hobby Lobby (they had Christmas stuff lining the aisles already--WTF!?), Ross and a cute local consignment shop that typically
- [Frosty Dr. Pepper Float Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2020/07/15/frosty-dr-pepper-float-pie/) - Dr. Pepper Pie is a masterpiece of a no-bake dessert that tastes exactly like a Dr. Pepper float! Easy, delicious, refreshing and tastes like childhood! So since apparently 2020 is just utter chaos, why not make a Dr. Pepper Pie? I'm just surprised that the murder hornets had enough empathy to derail their plans of coming

- [Eyeball Pops](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/10/14/eyeball-pops/) - Eye contact. It's kind of a pain, isn't it? I mean, people stress that eye contact is totally imperative in job interviews and talking with people and forging connections, but really, I feel like I'm just being an obnoxious lamewad boring into your soul... a place I don't really want to go searching through
- [Sugar Cookie-Covered Oreos](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/10/29/sugar-cookie-covered-oreos/) - Some Guilty Pleasures... Betsey Johnson. Obvi. Hamburger Helper. Scrunch your nose all ya want, but I friggin' love the saucy boxed stuff. French fries. They can do no wrong. Ridiculously fake-long eyelashes. Love 'em. Wearing cologne. Nonfat iced chai tea lattes at Starbucks. The $4 somehow makes them taste better. Or not. Doughnuts because duh.
- [Twix Brownies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/10/30/twix-brownies/) - Sometimes I find shopping for kitchen gadgets to be an overwhelming task. Gone are the days where you simply shop for 13x9 inch pans, rubber spatulas and foil. Here are the days where there's a novelty pan for um, everything, and gourmet mixes for everything and gadgets for... shaping meatloaf. Isn't that the point? That it's
- [Reese's Stuffed Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/10/31/reeses-stuffed-chocolate-chip-pudding-cookies/) - Boo! Today is Halloween!! And I'm not trick or treating. Waaaaaah. It seems like people have some construed ideas about trick or treating. Apparently, the older you get, the more socially-unacceptable it is to go trick or treating. With today being Halloween and politic-season rearing its ugly head, I figured I'd defend my argument
- [Snickers Brownie Bites](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/11/06/snickers-brownie-bites/) - Let's talk "honest" people. Honesty is, by far, one of the most important qualities in a person if not the most important. People already know this. They already want this. It shouldn't really need to be established since it's kind of a given, you know? No one goes around saying "I look for shady crook activity in a man--someone
- [{Homemade} Vanilla Bean Butterscotch Sauce](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/11/17/homemade-vanilla-bean-butterscotch-sauce/) - I sooooo wish I could be a cool crafty person. You know the people. The elite who post pictures of beautifully re-purposed dressers painted in a hip mint color all over Pinterest, or those who suggest you turn your spice rack into a nail polish display. They're obnoxiously genius with their crafty mind, always thinking of new
- [Gingerbread 7-Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/11/26/gingerbread-7-layer-bars/) - I hope you all had a wonderful, filling Thanksgiving holiday!! As you may have noticed, I was a bit MIA on the blog and my social media outlets for the past couple days. Blame it on the tryptophan, or the fact that my blood type is now cornbread stuffing, but honestly, I couldn't even pull
- [Super Crumb Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/11/28/super-crumb-cake/) - With Christmas season practically in full-swing (uh, if your name is Hayley Parker, it's most definitely in full-swing, seeing as all my decorating, shopping, and wrapping is done.. ahem), it's no surprise that Christmas shopping is definitely happening. And while I love holiday shopping, I seriously loathe it at the same time. No, not for the
- [Buttercream Fudge](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/11/29/buttercream-fudge/) - Frosting. I've always had a love/hate relationship with it. Similar to how I felt about MTV as a teenager, or how I feel about driving a swanky new car now. I want to love it; really, I do. But I just can't get behind the .. abundance of it. Just like I couldn't get behind the abundance
- [Peppermint Seven-Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/12/03/peppermint-seven-layer-bars/) - Peppermint. It's one of those flavors I seriously cannot. get. enough. of. Peppermint sundaes rock my socks. Peppermint bark becomes a basic food group of mine from November-January. Peppermint candies..well, as far as I'm concerned, they're sometimes the best part about having dinner at a restaurant. That swirly, twirly red & white minty surprise at

- [Marshmallow Dreidels](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/12/05/marshmallow-dreidels/) - Look. I know everything on this blog is complete culinary mishegas. I try to be a dessert maven--never a shmaltzy kinda girl--and sometimes, some of my creations end up being totally, outrageously meshugge... in a good way. Oy vey. Enough with the Yiddish, I think. I'm starting to sound like a shlemiel. Anyway. I'm not
- [Cookies n Cream Reese's Cup Puppy Chow Popcorn](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/12/11/cookies-n-cream-reeses-cup-puppy-chow-popcorn/) - This year, I'm hosting Christmas dinner at my house. And this year, things are changing, my friends. Gone are the Christmas dinners with scalloped potatoes from a box (yuck). We said 'sayonara' to eating prime rib, which seems to be a cut of meat that is 5% actual meat, 95% inedible fat. And Cool Whip
- [Pecan Snowballs](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/12/18/pecan-snowballs/) - Usually, I don't mind being the passenger in another person's car. Most people I know have a complex where they have to drive wherever we go, but I'm assuming it's probably because they think I'm a crap-ass driver and want to be in control of their own demise. Just a theory. Anywhoooo, the thing I
- [Peanut Butter Cornmeal Dog Biscuits](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/12/21/peanut-butter-cornmeal-dog-biscuits/) - Okay, so even though I don't have a real-life human baby, I have a canine baby. One I love super duper much and one that deserves Christmas presents, too. And so far, Mannie has taken a serious liking to Christmas which is ironic since the dog hates everything and is the most feisty and neurotic
- [Funfetti Fudge](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2012/01/03/funfetti-fudge/) - In a few days, Jessie and I are going to San Francisco! I'm so excited. I love the city.

My navigational experiences in

Today, I am celebrating a baby. *points to self* No, not my baby. Are you kidding me? I become unreasonably snotty if I get less than seven hours of sleep a night AND I can still justify spending an inordinate amount of money on clothes. There's no way I could
- [Strawberry Nutella Heart Pie Pops](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2013/02/04/strawberry-nutella-heart-pie-pops/) - Okay, so it's no surprise that I am beyond stupid paranoid. About everything. Paranoid I'll get scary diseases if a mosquito bites my face. Paranoid that if I don't alarm my car one night, it'll be stolen in the morning. Paranoid that all envelopes have a personal vendetta against fingertips so I'll literally decimate the entire
- [Rainbow Mini Cheesecakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2013/02/25/rainbow-mini-cheesecakes/) - Not too long ago, I was petrified of scary movies. Now, I suppose part of growing up is enjoying coffee after years of questioning why adults liked a hot, dark drink that tasted like death, and ultimately, enjoying scary movies. Respectively, of course, because I'm not grown up enough to enjoy coffee while watching a scary movie
- [Rainbow Chip Cookie Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2013/02/26/rainbow-chip-cookie-cake/) - I've never been a big party person, but I actually love throwing parties. Maybe because I like to have control over the food served, the decorations hung, and the people coming. Hello, creepy teenager houseparties are like my worst nightmare.

- [Birthday Cake S'mOreos](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2013/04/01/birthday-cake-smoreos/) - So Easter was yesterday. Admittedly, Easter isn't one of my favorite holidays. One, I'm not a fan of the traditional food served. Ham and scalloped potatoes kind of give me the heebie jeebies. And aside from jelly beans, I am kind of blase with the rest of the candy selection. Don't even get me started
- [Homemade Tagalongs [5 Ingredients!]](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2013/04/06/homemade-tagalongs-5-ingredients/) - So, Girl Scout season is over now, right? They've come in a flurry of colorful boxes and charming chants and leave fat, sugar-coma'd people in their wake. I tell you, those girls are on some kind of agenda. Anywaaaaays.

Contrary to the fact that my cheeks flush a tomato red 50% of the day, I'm not really embarrassed by much.

Because it really explains my lack of friends and funds yet overwhelming increase in wanting to make my own Febreeze or figuring out what the heck a 'Paleo' diet means without thinking of dinosaurs. As a food blogger, it's kinda

I don't mean to insult hubbies around the world or anything, but honestly, chubby hubbies are the best kind.

I know I'm an adult, but seeing as I consider buying heels with American flags on them as a crucial investment, I'm not the most adult-y adult in the world. I'm talking about those tried-and-true adults. You have a house, a car, probably a family, a 401K,

Suuuuure, in person I am known to be quick on my feet, to blurt out witticisms left and right without pause. I'm actually quite eloquent like that

But before you finalize them, let me and the folks at CorningWare try to convince you to host a Friendsgiving Party like I did! If
- [Peppermint Bark Cheesecake Cookie Cups](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/10/peppermint-bark-cheesecake-cookie-cups/) - Peppermint is probably one of my favorite dessert flavors, besides bubblegum of course. Around this time, I think my happiness level peaks to an all-time high. Christmas music, peppermint-candy-everything, sparkly trees and ornaments, and the irresistible urge to purchase everything in sight to positively spoil my family and friends. Yep, I'm a true winter girl
- [Chocolate Chocolate Chip Gooey Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/11/chocolate-chocolate-chip-gooey-bars/) - Chocoholics, these are exclusively for you. Because frankly, there's nothing else in them besides chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Liiiike, I seriously don't understand how these are even real, to be honest. They're composed entirely of chocolate. Different kinds, different shapes, all baked together into one outrageously gooey square of richness. They make Devil's Food look
- [So-Easy Sopapillas](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/15/so-easy-sopapillas/) - Do you guys have that restaurant or store that changes its name like, twice a month? You know the one. You drive by one day and it's Grandma's Diner. Then a month later it's Alex's Gyro Shop. Then two months after that it's a burrito place. Then about a year after that it's now a burger
- [Cookies 'n Cream Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/17/cookies-n-cream-seven-layer-bars/) - A couple days ago, I went to a dinner party at my friend Heather's house. Since I'm an adult and adults do fancy things sometimes, I decided to be said fancy adult and buy a bottle of wine for a hostess gift. So I moseyed on over to World Market and checked out their wine
- [Cinnamon Roll Cookie Bites](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/18/cinnamon-roll-cookie-bites/) - Do you ever walk through the grocery store and a specific product catches your eye? The second you see it, you know that yes, it's going in my cart. That's *precisely* what happened when I stumbled across these bite-sized cinnamon rolls. Sure, I've seen them before, I've certainly eaten them before, but seeing them on this
- [Perfect Chex Mix](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/11/24/perfect-chex-mix-and-sweet-spicy-cinnamon-chocolate-brownies-a-pampered-chef-holiday-edible-gifts-giveaway/) - Unless y'all have been hiding out under a rock, I'm sure you're well aware that the holidays are practically knocking at our doors. Thanksgiving is Thursday(!!!) and Christmas comes shortly thereafter, which means everyone pretty much scrambles to find the perfect gift for friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and the like. But instead of braving the dreaded
- [Slow Cooker Candied Nuts {An Edible Gift with Diamond of California!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/01/slow-cooker-candied-nuts-an-edible-gift-with-diamond-of-california/) - As you guys probably know, a couple months back I had the pleasure to tour the Diamond of California Plant in Stockton, CA for a California Walnut Harvest! It was so very awesome to be able to see firsthand how farmers grow, harvest, and process the walnuts in those iconic pale yellow packages that we

The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own.” So let's get one thing straight, shall we? I love me some Hostess! Growing up, I was pretty much on a strict Twinkie-a-day diet... and they're still one of my absolute favorite guilty-pleasure foods!
- [Peppermint Crunch Pretzels](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/07/peppermint-crunch-pretzels/) - You guys. These pretzels are everything. And I know I throw around "everything" a lot, but duuude. These are forrealsies ev.er.y.thing. I, for one, am a huuuuuge peppermint fiend. The second Target breaks out the Peppermint Kisses, I'm buying five bags and polishing them off like it's my day job. And while cleaning out all the peppermint goodies
- [The BEST Snowball Cookies {Or Russian Tea Cakes. Or Mexican Wedding Cookies}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/09/the-best-snowball-cookies-or-russian-tea-cakes-or-mexican-wedding-cookies/) - As I've mentioned before, no one cooked in my family while I was growing up. We had a very small handful of "family recipes" that were rarely cooked. The rest of the time, it was all about meals of convenience. I grew to love the ladies in the Carl's Jr drive through. And while I
- [The BEST Soft & Chewy Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/10/the-best-soft-chewy-cranberry-white-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - So as some of you know, I gave up on online dating a couple months ago. After many unsuccessful dates that left me questioning the human race and whether or not my soulmate died in a hideous car accident, I decided it'd be best to remain single for the time being and just let love
- [Gingerbread Cookie Dough Cups](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/11/gingerbread-cookie-dough-cups/) - To me, there are three flavors synonymous with the holidays: eggnog, peppermint, and gingerbread. While I've always had an affinity with peppermint, eggnog and gingerbread took awhile to get used to. As a kid, I wanted to like them so badly. Eggnog just seemed so cool - like something suave businesswomen in turtleneck pantsuits would drink (it was
- [Gingerbread Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Marshmallow Frosting](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/15/gingerbread-cupcakes-with-vanilla-bean-marshmallow-frosting/) - I've decided that I'm never shopping at Target again, because every time I do, something mortally embarrassing happens. Like the time I told the cashier I was going to eat Oreos naked (wrong context). Or the time my mom was my wing-woman. ANYWHO. A couple days ago I was in the big red bulls-eye when
- [Sugar Cookie Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/17/sugar-cookie-seven-layer-bars/) - As a slightly insane food blogger, it's my civic duty to report to you guys about the latest food products on the market. So without further adieu, FRENCH TOAST CRUNCH CEREAL IS BACK!!! If I could somehow scream this through a megaphone, you bet your cute booty I would. I am so excited, people. I've waited years
- [Super Simple 2-Ingredient Turtles](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/18/super-simple-2-ingredient-turtles/) - You guuuuyyyyyysssss. These turtles. I can't even. Most recipes on the interwebs feature three or four-ingredient turtles, and that's totally cool. But if you're like me, you kinda sorta get a little pissy whenever you have to rinse out a sticky caramel pot or when you have to pry hardened chocolate off of a spoon.
- [Chocolate Cherry Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/12/22/chocolate-cherry-seven-layer-bars/) - I will never understand super touchy people. You know the ones who always feel the need to touch you, hold you, hug you, pick at you... whether they know you or not? As a teenager with Day-Glo colored neon hair, I was constantly being touched by random strangers. Picking out apples in the grocery store,

Plus, this
- [Sparkling Mimosa Muffins](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/05/sparkling-mimosa-muffins/) - 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.
- [Peanut Brittle Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/06/peanut-brittle-cupcakes/) - 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
- [Soft & Chewy Red Velvet Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/08/soft-chewy-red-velvet-cookies/) - 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.
- [Avalanche Cookie Clusters](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/11/avalanche-cookie-clusters/) - 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
- [The Easiest Lemon Tarts](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/12/the-easiest-lemon-tarts/) - 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
- [Homemade Hostess Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/19/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

- [Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Footballs](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/25/peanut-butter-cookie-dough-footballs/) - 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.
- [Strawberry Marshmallow Cookie Cups {Happy 4th Bloggiversary To Me!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/26/strawberry-marshmallow-cookie-cups-happy-4th-bloggiversary-to-me/) - 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
- [Ultra Soft & Chewy White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/28/ultra-soft-chewy-white-chocolate-macadamia-nut-cookies/) - Macadamia Nut cookies are one of my favorite cookies ever, but I often forget about them. It's not like they're boring or hard to make or anything; it's just that I never really see them anywhere and that needs to change immediately, methinks. Many years ago, we lived near this really old, dilapidated mall called
- [Creamy Cannoli Dip](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/01/30/creamy-cannoli-dip/) - Today's post is about combining two of my absolute favorite things: New York cannolis, and California Dairy. What could be a better mash-up?! By creating a phenomenal, creamy dip out of rich, California Dairy products from my home state, inspired by my future-home (I hope!) in New York City, the Land of Cannolis (unofficially, but
- [Coconut Ranger Cookies {And My Caribbean Vacay Recap!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/01/coconut-ranger-cookies-and-my-caribbean-vacay-recap/) - So if you've been following me on Instagram, you know I went on a blog-related Caribbean cruise a couple weeks ago. And it was amazing. It was my first time cruising, so I was a little *teensy* bit skeptical. I mean, what if we encountered a rogue iceberg? Or killer pirates? Or sharks with laser beams
- [Strawberry Meringues](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/02/strawberry-meringues/) - So, unless you were born today, the Super Bowl was yesterday. And if you have Facebook friends like mine, they were updating you with play-by-plays the entire freaking time. Like, I get it. If I wanted to watch approximately 235974 hours of football, I would be doing so. But I use Facebook as an escape -
- [Chocolate Cherry Cookie Bites](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/06/chocolate-cherry-cookie-bites/) - It's come to my immediate realization that I've never had anyone do anything romantic for me. Like, ever. After reading a forum on a website which asked the question, "what was the most romantic thing someone's done for you?" I realized that no one has done anything remotely romantic for me. Why I'm incapable of

I love makeup, I'm obsessed with anything glittery, I own several tutus, and the semi-annual sale at Victoria's Secret gets me giddy. But. There are a couple of girlie things I could never, ever get behind. Things that often make me question if I'm
- [Strawberry & Nutella Croissants](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/11/strawberry-nutella-croissants/) - So after posting my 3-Ingredient Nutella Croissants, I've had these flaky, heavenly pastries on the brain. And while I don't typically endorse fruit-fillings in well, anything, I was shocked when I put a jar of strawberry jam in my cart to make these Strawberry & Nutella Croissants. Consider it an out-of-body experience, because these croissants are the
- [Bacon Shortbread Cookies {3 Ingredients!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/15/bacon-shortbread-cookies-3-ingredients/) - I'm gonna keep this short and sweet, just like today's recipe. And honnnney - today's recipe is the bees knees. It's bacon-wrapped cookies, people. And it's pretty darn phenomenal if I do say so myself. This recipe (which I struggle to deem a 'recipe') isn't really one at all. It was adapted from The Pioneer Woman's famous Bacon-Wrapped
- [Neapolitan Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/16/neapolitan-cupcakes-2/) - I am so so so glad you're here today, because today I'm having a special bloggiversary party to kick off two very important things: my blog's 4th birthday (omg!), and my blog's new design (yay!). It's so crazy to think that four years ago, I had just created this blog. I was so excited to get
- [XXL Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chunk Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/18/xxl-brown-butter-vanilla-bean-chocolate-chunk-cookies/) - When I was younger, I really wanted to open a bakery. I thought selling cupcakes, cookies, super fudgy brownies and cakes would be so fun. Whipping up fresh buttercream, adorning each cake with cute sprinkles, packaging up fresh-baked cookies... it all sounded so blissful... until I realized how HARD owning a business is. First of
- [The Best Banana Cake with Banana Frosting](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/20/the-best-banana-cake-with-banana-frosting/) - I have always loved grocery shopping. Mostly because our local supermarket gave kids free cookies in the bakery if you asked politely. They were sprinkle sugar cookies, and they were amazing because they were free, smothered in sprinkles, and because you didn't need your parents permission to eat a giant sugar cookie before dinner. (However,
- [Neapolitan Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/22/neapolitan-seven-layer-bars/) - What happens when you forget to post a Valentine's Day-themed recipe before Valentine's Day? You post it days later, obvi! I try to stick to schedules since I tend to be a planner and a huge list-maker. But stuff happens, I forget, I don't care, or Intervention is on and I just neglect it. I'm sorry. I'm
- [Samoas Magic Bar Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/25/samoas-magic-bar-pie/) - When I was in Girl Scouts, our troop leader totally didn't do anything cool. Other troops were raising money to go to Disneyland, or sleepovers at the zoo, or other cool things. We went camping. Once. It was lame because two girls kicked me out of their tent. We went to a safety school. We
- [Lucky Rainbow Bark](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/27/lucky-rainbow-bark/) - Yeah, I am totally guilty of trashing the living daylights outta that white chocolate. Sue me. As a kid, I had this neighbor - we'll call her Meow, since I remember her meowing on occasion, and I slept over at her house pretty frequently. She had anything a girl could ask for - her own pony,
- [Biscoff S'mores Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/01/biscoff-smores-seven-layer-bars/) - As you're reading this, I am partying my face off in Orlando, FL for the Food Blog Forum conference. We're at Disney World, and I'm pretty positive I will convince the cast members to let me move into Cinderella's castle. ...or being kicked out of Disney World for pouting at their obvious 'no, you may
- [Mint Oreo Overload Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/02/mint-oreo-overload-cake/) - Soft serve has been a part of my world for my entire life. Growing up, I'd beg my grandma to relinquish me into the wild and walk up to the nearest Yogurt Delite store with my friends. It sat there loyally in the same shopping center for years, with its black and white checkered floors, completely
- [Samoas Sugar Cookie Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/04/samoas-sugar-cookie-bars/) - Every year around this time, I start to realize bikini season is creeping up on me... and every year around this time, I vow to eat better, exercise more, and transform myself into a Victoria's Secret model. And for awhile, it works. I'll throw spinach in my smoothies. I'll walk an extra mile a day.

This recipe came to me after I realized I'm severely lacking in the monkey bread department. I have a couple standbys [chocolate chip cookie dough and cake batter!], but otherwise, I needed to up my game a ton... and this is the perfect way to do it!
- [Bailey's Brown Butter Frosted Brownies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/11/baileys-brown-butter-frosted-brownies/) - I remember when I turned 21, I wanted to drink everything in sight. Because, my rationing, I'm 21 and YOLO. (I wasn't the most intelligent back then. Hindsight is 20/20, you know). As I navigated my way through the world of beer, wine, and spirits, I quickly realized what I liked and what I didn't. Hard lemonade =
- [The Best One-Hour Cinnamon Pecan Sticky Buns](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/13/the-best-one-hour-cinnamon-pecan-sticky-buns/) - So, against my better judgment, I recently re-joined the dating site, OkCupid. Within my first day of signing up, I had already encountered more fedoras and puca-shell necklaces than should ever exist, a man who self-identifies as a platypus, more topless bathroom-mirror selfies than necessary (about half of which were of torsos that should not

These macarons are everything. You hear me? Ev.Er.Y.THANGGGG. I love contrast. It's my favorite technique for editing pictures, and it's my favorite technique to apply when eating, dressing, styling, and virtually everything else in my life. Like for instance, pairing a pretty pink tutu with a roughed up black motorcycle jacket and chunky black
- [Cadbury Creme Egg Brownie Bombs](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/20/cadbury-creme-egg-brownie-bombs/) - Do you like Cadbury Creme Eggs? I have a sweet tooth, but I find them to be a little cloying sometimes. I can do one -- maybe two -- of the mini ones before calling it a night. Stopping at two candies a night? That's unheard of around these parts. But have you ever noticed when
- [Lemon Bar Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/22/lemon-bar-cupcakes/) - I love lemon desserts. They're easily one of my favorites in anything - cakes, cookies, bars, you name it. And lemon totally reminds me of springtime, but without the allergies, sinus infections, pollen everywhere, and random days of hot weather that spring usually brings. All that I can do without. And one of the first things I
- [Cadbury Creme Egg Brownie Bites](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/23/cadbury-creme-egg-brownie-bites/) - I'm not sure how I feel about the kids of today. The kids of today have the moms of my generation, and the moms of my generation are whack as hell. Let me explain. There's so much emphasis on pleasing your kid these days and making sure that every little crumb in their life is perfectly
- [Tiramisu Poke Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/25/tiramisu-poke-cake/) - Sometimes I wish I was someone else. Like a Zooey Deschanel type who had thick black glasses, a long mane of natural hair, and wore clothes that came from ModCloth. It seems like everyone always likes that type of girl, ya know? Any time I go to a coffee shop, I see that girl there.
- [No-Bake Pink Lemonade Cheesecake Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/29/no-bake-pink-lemonade-cheesecake-pie/) - It's obvious I love lemon. But I don't really specify where I like that lemon. Much like how people dislike fruits in their dessert, I dislike lemon in my dinner. I don't do savory lemon. Savory lemon is dead to me. Lemon has zero place near my chicken. It should not be near pepper. In my

It's like a total money suck and if Target were completely a specialty grocery store, it would be Trader Joe's. Seriously, I step in and I feel like I'm a whole new girl. A girl who takes interest in prepared kale salads, pre-cut celery

- [Dulce de Leche Chocolate Gooey Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/03/30/dulce-de-leche-chocolate-gooey-bars/) - I adore caramel. But can you believe there was a time when - *gasp* I thought I didn't like it? (I know, I was seriously deranged). I was insistent on my hatred of caramel. I would only do hot fudge and would make a face at my dad who would promptly douse his sundae in caramel
- [Funfetti Cream Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/01/funfetti-cream-pie/) - I'm a big believer in celebrating pretty much everything. I celebrate when a bad day ends. I celebrate everyone's birthdays. I celebrate holidays. I just love celebrating. (Or really, I just love a good excuse to pig out and drink). Don't read 'celebrating' to be the slightly-nutty person who paints their face green, wears head-to-toe
- [Oreo Macarons](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/05/oreo-macarons/) - We need to talk about TimeHop for a minute. You know the app right? It's called TimeHop (obvi) and it basically brings up old dirt you would hope would be buried and long-dead forever via pictures, old Facebook statuses, tweets, and Instagram posts... and whatever other social media account you'd like to torture yourself with.

It's like, the new thing. Cupcakes = out. Essential oils = in. Everyone and their mama are slathering themselves with patchouli and telling everyone about it. At first I

That, and my Glazed Donut Pie, which continues to be one of

Everyone and their mother began fuhreaking out on Instagram and Twitter, talking about this fabulous invention. Some people were repulsed by its
- [Banana Pudding Cheesecake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/14/banana-pudding-cheesecake/) - I'm a California girl, born and raised. I haven't yet left, and when I do, I'm aiming straight for New York City, but there will always be a California-ness in me. Like the fact that I have terrible road rage that causes me to cuss and flail my arms, the fact that I just bought a
- [Gluten Free & VEGAN Lemon Poppyseed Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/19/gluten-free-vegan-lemon-poppyseed-cake/) - This cake is insanity, y'all. I know I say everything is 'insanity.' Consider me at a loss for spiffy adjectives. I'm spent. BUT. I can assure you that repeated adjectives aside, this cake rocks. It's light and tender, has a nice, moist crumb, and packs a seriously divine lemony punch with nutty, crisp poppyseeds swirled
- [Easy Oreo Cheesecake Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/20/easy-oreo-cheesecake-bars/) - As you read this, I will have just returned home from a quick jaunt to Santa Barbara, CA. for a blogging retreat. And I can guarantee you, I'm sad about it. I've been longing for a beach day for awhile now. The beach is one of those places that is so strange to me since
- [Blackberry Pie Blondie Bombs](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/22/blackberry-pie-blondie-bombs/) - I'd like to preface this by saying I typically loathe blackberries with an intense passion. (I know, right? I am weird. Newsflash of the century, really). This probably has to do with the fact that I am pretty sure they are the berries I stuffed my face with in my freshman year of high school
- [Skinny Orange Creamsicle Poke Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/24/skinny-orange-creamsicle-poke-cake/) - A couple of days ago, I had to go to the local natural foods store to get some more eucalyptus essential oil. The local natural foods store is like Whole Foods but smaller and more expensive, so I actually am not sure why I go there. But I digress. I was at the natural foods
- [Peanut Butter Cup Carmelitas](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/26/peanut-butter-cup-carmelitas/) - You guys. These carmelitas. I could cry, they're so good. For as long as I can remember, I've had an irrational fear of having something stuck in my teeth. I mean, I'm petrified to find something. Spinach, pepper, bits and pieces of god-knows what... anything and everything is a mortal embarrassment. When I had braces for
- [The Best Crisp and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten-Free!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/27/the-best-crisp-and-chewy-peanut-butter-cookies-gluten-free/) - Lately I've been so frazzled. Well, more than usual :) I'm not sure if it's the allergies that are slowly waging World War III on my immune system, or perhaps it's the fact that it's only April and Sacramento is already reaching temps of 90 degrees. Maybe it's the fact that I'm gaining weight like crazy
- [Key Lime Pie Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/04/29/key-lime-pie-cupcakes/) - Key Lime Pie Cupcakes, which I'm pretty sure are everyone's new favorite. They're so good.

All opinions are mine alone. #PopIntoSAMS #CollectiveBias I love popcorn. It's one of those treats that the second the aroma hits your nose, you instantly crave it. Or is that just me with all the foods? Don't answer that. I mean, you can't

Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow and I figured I was better late than never with this recipe. I knew that after trying my No-Bake Pink Lemonade Cheesecake Pie that I had to make a margarita version and here it is. Creamy, luscious, sweet
- [Donut Tiramisu](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/08/donut-tiramisu/) - You guys. This tiramisu is out of control in the best way possible. I mean, instead of boring old ladyfingers, I made it with yeasty, maple-y donuts. WHAT COULD BE BETTER? (The answer: another slice. Because I'm woefully lacking it right now). This idea came at me in a couple of different directions. First, I knew
- [Copycat S'mores Frappuccino](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/11/copycat-smores-frappuccino/) - I have been on such a frappuccino kick lately. Like, it's getting ridiculous (and expensive). But I am such a marketer's dream come true and will buy any new flavored frappe available. Birthday cake? Had to try... and recreated it HERE. Java Chip? An old favorite. Caramel Coconut - remember that one? Deliciousness. And s'mores?
- [Fudgy Frosted Brownies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/13/fudgy-frosted-brownies/) - A couple days ago, my family and I were all sitting in the living room watching TV when we heard this really loud music creeping closer and closer to the house. We paused our TV show and looked around at each other confusedly, only to see a random man on a motorcycle pull into my
- [The Best Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/15/the-best-old-fashioned-sugar-cookies/) - I'm kinda sorta bummed that my town doesn't have a bakery. Anytime I travel, I immediately google the current city I'm in + bakery so I can check out where the locals eat, and of course, where I can get some desserts. You know, for research. #alltheresearch But my town doesn't have anything like that.
- [S'mores Thumbprint Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/17/smores-thumbprint-cookies/) - I officially declare this week S'mores Week. Mostly because I'm craving marshmallows like a mad woman. I guess it helps that I'm JET-PUFFED's brand ambassador, right? :) Anywho. After trying Starbucks' S'mores Frappuccino, recreating it here, and obsessing, I realized I'm a die-hard s'mores fan and I needed ALLTHESMORES. So S'mores Week is actually a natural progression
- [S'mores Cinnamon Rolls](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/18/smores-cinnamon-rolls/) - I really, really, really hate packing. You'd think someone who enjoys organization would like packing, but I really loathe it. First of all, there's the serious fear-of-missing-something. I'm always petrified that I'm leaving something vital behind, like pills or mascara, and then there's the whole debacle about what to wear. Foooor instance, I hate thinking
- [S'mores Tart](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/20/smores-tart/) - Lately I have been SO tired. Like impossibly tired. Like dosing off at my computer tired. Normally, I'm not this tired, and I figure it has something to do with my medications, but damn. I am one sleepy girl. A couple of days ago, I took the day off since I was so exhausted. I
- [Gooey S'mores Cookie Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/22/gooey-smores-cookie-bars/) - So I just got back from a blogger retreat in beautiful Carmel, CA. More on that soon in an upcoming post :) But I have to say, a good portion of the night I was scared. Scared... of mountain lions. You see, Carmel is a beach town nestled among a pretty countryside. And within every
- [Vanilla Bean Cherry Rum Punch](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/24/vanilla-bean-cherry-rum-punch/) - If there's one thing I use in my kitchen most often (well, one of a few things), it's vanilla extract. I love the stuff and use it religiously in nearly everything. And those typical 'teaspoon' measurements in recipes? I easily add in a Tablespoon or more of vanilla. Vanilla, essentially, is the best thing ever. I'm so
- [Damn Good Chocolate Bundt Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/25/damn-good-chocolate-bundt-cake/) - Lately, I've been having such bad writers block. Like, terribly bad. It's brutal. Normally, I'm like a fountain of stories, always spewing out some kind of strange tale of my own personal reality. But lately? I can't think of a single thing. I've told all my good stories - the ones so far, anyway. And
- [The Best Cheesecake Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/29/the-best-cheesecake-cupcakes/) - A lot has changed since the last time I blogged about Cheesecake Cupcakes. For one, I'm no longer dating Jessie, but we are still good friends and talk occasionally. And for two, I'd like to think my photography has gotten better since 2011 :) And for three, I used to film cooking videos with Jessie
- [White Chocolate Fluffernutter Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/06/03/white-chocolate-fluffernutter-bars/) - My neighbors are seriously annoying. I like them enough, but they have one fatal flaw: honking at me while I'm walking the dog. There I'll be, minding my own freakin' business as I walk along our tree-lined street when some asshat drives slowly behind me and honks their horn at me as they drive by,

I'm alllll about finding ways to indulge. This is probably the number one reason why none of my diets work. I find reasons to indulge for everything. It's Monday, let me eat the fries. I surpassed X amount of page views, so I'll have an ice cream sundae. I survived
- [No Bake Patriotic Marshmallow Cheesecakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/06/11/no-bake-patriotic-marshmallow-cheesecakes/) - This time of year is kind of hard for a food blogger. Why? Because it’s hot outside, and inevitably, the hotter the day is, the more I want to turn on my oven and bake something. I always seem to get those strong hankerings to bake whenever it’s the warmest day. I can’t explain why,

I figured that my blog was severely lacking in the sweet beverage department and I needed to remedy that STAT. Sometimes, a perfectly chilled, bold fruity beverage is the exact thing you need to curb a craving or to top one off :) Today
- [The Best Frozen Hot Chocolate](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/06/14/the-best-frozen-hot-chocolate/) - The temperature is so hot in California right now, that my new idea of a good time is curling up in my shortest shorts under the nearest AC vent while reading a magazine. Doesn't that just sound divine? Forget poolside. Poolside still means you're outside, of which I want absolutely nothing to do with. It's over
- [Strawberry Pretzel Salad Parfaits](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/06/15/strawberry-pretzel-salad-parfaits/) - A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the local town of Davis, CA on behalf of Best Food Facts.

It comes from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook where, if you've been to NYC, Magnolia Bakery lives... and where I will be eating nightly when I move to NYC. I don't have much to say about this pudding because it's that incredible. It

You'd think we'd never seen it before because we watch it constantly. Whenever it's on TV, it's on our TV. Whenever it's coming up next, we always eagerly anticipate it beginning. We

I hate cardio, I hate aerobics, I hate that I'm the only one in Zumba that looks like I'm having a grand mal seizure. I hate having to shower immediately after in fear of catching leprosy or something funky. So yeah. I recently
- [Best Butter Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/07/06/best-butter-cake/) - I know it's since passed, but I hate the Fourth of July. Like, majorly hate it. I hate it because Mannie is so scared of the fireworks. He paces the house, he cowers in the corner, and he barks incessantly. If you're new here, Mannie is my three-legged dog who lost his leg to a
- [Root Beer Float Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/07/10/root-beer-float-pie/) - I am someone who has to have dessert after dinner every night. I don't know how it started, but it's impossible to stop. Plus, it's a little scoop of ice cream or a couple of cookies. It's not like I'm clearing out the dessert section at Home Town Buffet. ...though don't put it past me.
- [The Easiest Peach Turnovers](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/07/13/the-easiest-peach-turnovers/) - A couple days ago, my sister and I went antiquing. Typically, 'antiquing' and any member of my family do not go in the same sentence... unless that sentence is, "Chloe would sooner wear a bikini to her math class than go antiquing with her sister on a Saturday afternoon." But somehow, without bribery, I got my
- [Tutti-Frutti Cookie Clusters](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/07/17/tutti-frutti-cookie-clusters/) - Back in January, I made these Avalanche Cookie Clusters. And they rocked my face off.

Seriously, do you ever do something you've been dying to do or get something you've been dying to get, only to just kind of let it fall by the wayside once it's done or purchased? For instance, maybe you've been stalking a
- [Perfect Cheesecake Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/07/27/perfect-cheesecake-bars/) - Something terribly tragic recently happened. It shook me to my very core. My oven died. One day I was minding my own damn business, making spaghetti and getting ready to put some garlic bread in the oven when bam - dead. Kaput. Gone. It was cold and lifeless. No spark. No light. Just darkness. And since

I came to this conclusion when I realized after working out that my pants were see-through. Underwear. Underwear everywhere. All up in everyone's sweaty gym faces. *groans* In my defense, it wasn't like I was wearing mesh shorts to the gym. They're basic black bike shorts... ones I thought under the incorrect

And then I packed. And promptly

I went to our family's friend's birthday party over the weekend and I was hoping I'd maybe get lucky and meet someone at the

But don't take that as me not eating

I don't even know how I got on their mailing list since the only things I've ever purchased there were $8 ramekins. That's all my measly budget affords at a store like Anthro. Yet I get catalog after catalog, and each one has clothing I don't

I figured, I'm 25, I have no friends, and it'd be nice to talk to someone other than three uncommunicative canines every day.

Actually, replace 'toys' with 'clothes' and you've got my room. It literally looks like a train carrying the entire wardrobe from Torrid crashed into my bedroom and left all the remains everywhere. Utterly unacceptable. The only problem? Well, problems. One,

St. Patrick's Day one week and Easter two weeks later? Craziness. I mean, who decides how the calendar plays out? Who decided it'd be a grand idea to put Easter two weeks after St. Patrick's Day? Did they not think about how you'd

It almost adds a warm, toasted marshmallow-y flavor to these treats
- [Slutty Brownie Cups](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2016/02/23/slutty-brownie-cups/) - Let me preface by saying I did not come up with the name 'slutty brownies.'

Maybe a crude hand gesture thrown in for

- [Peanut Butter & Jelly Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/08/14/peanut-butter-jelly-bars/) - It's officially back to school season. And I am counting my lucky stars that I'm no longer in school. Phew! I do not miss the nervous energy surrounding the first day of school, the hours planning the perfect outfit, and the awkwardness of seeing everyone again after a long summer apart. I do, however, enjoy
- [The BEST Rainbow Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2020/05/06/the-best-rainbow-cupcakes/) - These Rainbow Cupcakes are seriously the BEST rainbow cupcakes EVER! Super easy to make and SUCH a show-stopping dessert for any occasion! Life's crazy right now, but you don't need me to tell you that. There's a lot of uncertainty and confusion, with news changing by the minute and panic rising - it's a lot to
- [Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Macarons](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/05/27/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-macarons/) - When I visited New York City last September, I went to a tiny pop-up macaron shop in Dylan's Candy Bar called Dana's Bakery. Dana's is known for their colorful, unique macarons in fun flavors like Fruity Pebbles and Birthday Cake, and I was dying to try their Cookie Dough macaron. But as fate would have it,
- [Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Oreos](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2015/02/23/homemade-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-oreos/) - Do you guys remember when Cookie Dough Oreos came out last year?! It may or may not have been the best day of my life... but this isn't about me. Seriously though, I loved them. Some people disliked the filling and said it was too coffee-y, but I thought the filling was just fine -
- [Bloody Eyeball Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/04/bloody-eyeball-cupcakes/) - Moist, red velvet cupcakes filled with gooey cherry pie filling and topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting and a spooky eyeball candy for a scary-good Halloween recipe!
- [Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Frosting](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/08/pumpkin-whoopie-pies-with-cream-cheese-frosting/) - As a kid, we always went to this local pumpkin farm whenever it was open for the season. It was a family owned farm, but it was pretty obvious it was owned by a family who really didn't care too much about appearances, nor pumpkins. The pumpkins to pick from were mildly attractive at best
- [The BEST Pumpkin Bread with Brown Butter Maple Icing](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/09/the-best-pumpkin-bread-with-brown-butter-maple-icing/) - It's still in the 90s here in Sacramento. But because I'm stubborn (and in denial) I've been rocking my boots, flannels and leggings and sweating profusely while doing so... only until I crank up the AC in October(!!!) and then I feel a little more fall-ish. I've lit pumpkin candles around the house. I've purchased logs of
- [Turtle Seven Layer Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/15/turtle-seven-layer-bars/) - Turtles are easily the most underrated candy ever. Like, for the longest time I thought turtles were those candies only grandmas liked, along with those horrid strawberry hard candies or butterscotch discs that collect lint at the bottom of their purses. But then I realized turtles are actually awesome and have no place at the bottom
- [Red Velvet Oreos & The Red Velvet Lover's Cookbook Review!](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/16/red-velvet-oreos-the-red-velvet-lovers-cookbook-review/) - Admittedly, I'm not the biggest Red Velvet fan in the world. If given the choice between red velvet and another flavor, I'll probably choose the other flavor... unless the other flavor is carrot cake. Then you may call me the biggest Red Velvet fan in the world. However, I was still SO EXCITED for Deborah's

- [Apple Fritter Pie {Apple Fritter Week!!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/10/21/apple-fritter-pie-apple-fritter-week/) - Welcome to Apple Fritter Week!! A couple weeks ago, I was driving to the store minding my own darn business when it struck me like a gigantic bolt of awesome lightning: Apple Fritter Week, it said. I quickly wondered who was talking and why I was listening to an ominous voice telling me to buy apple

It's lovely, right? And it tastes even
- [Maple Caramel Bacon Crack](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/23/maple-caramel-bacon-crack/) - So can we talk about these new Bayer commercials? Have you seen them? Basically, it shows regular people doing ordinary things when they're greeted by the most morbid of notes explaining they're going to have a heart attack tonight or tomorrow. One is of a woman having lunch with her woman friends when the receipt

Did you know that October is National Dessert Month? That pretty much makes October the best month ever, in my opinion... and it's like they coordinated it perfectly with Halloween and the excess of candy coming my way. I cannot wait!! As you know, as a baker I'm constantly working with a variety
- [The BEST Banana Bread](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/14/the-best-banana-bread/) - Bananas are one of those love-it-or-hate-it fruits, and I happen to love it. However.. I only like bananas if they're a certain texture and ripeness. Those bananas that are just a little too spotty and are softer are no bueno. They make the mashiest noises when you eat them, and those mashy noises are basically
- [Red Velvet Dessert Dip](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/01/red-velvet-dessert-dip-and-a-pampered-chef-giveaway-2/) - I'm someone who is always hungry. Just ate a huge meal? Still hungry. Just had lunch? Still hungry. Finished dessert? Yep, still hungry. And fortunately, my hunger is usually taken care of since we always have food in the house. But my reality isn't everyone else's. In fact, in 2012 there were 17.6 million households

- [Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/09/reeses-peanut-butter-cup-fudge/) - With Halloween season approaching, there is soon to be an influx of candy in your home. And if I know the majority of the population (which I do, obviously) I know that you probably won't have a huge stash of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups lying around unwanted and cold and lonely. Because let's face it, everyone likes

I'm crying a little (okay, a LOT) on the inside because today is my last full day in NYC! And also because the mayor said I couldn't take NYC home with me. If I recall, his exact words were, "miss, it is physically impossible to take home an entire city, now please
- [Toasted Marshmallow Caramel Butter Pecan Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/15/toasted-marshmallow-caramel-butter-pecan-bars/) - Even though the temps are still pushing 100 degrees outside (seriously Sacramento, get.with.it), I am trying to embrace fall. Despite the fact that I'm still wearing denim shorts and sweating before 9am. I'm longing for hot cider, apple picking, pumpkin everything and thick-knit sweaters and boots. Maybe if I just start wearing jeans and scarves, the weather
- [Pumpkin Snack Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/16/pumpkin-snack-cake/) - If you're looking for an easy and impressive pumpkin cake recipe, look no further! This is quite possibly one of my new favorite recipes for its ease in preparation and how it's positively packed with pumpkiny goodness! So as you guys know, I was in NYC for a week and was pretty MIA on my

I typically watch these (with the exception of MasterChef) when no one is home because the judging

- [Copycat Cosmic Brownies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/25/copycat-cosmic-brownies/) - While in the grocery store check-out lane, I spotted some Grape Tic-Tacs. Ever since I can remember, I was a grape fan for most things. I liked grape suckers. I loved grape juice. Grape popsicles were my jam, as was grape jam. So grape Tic Tacs? No brainer; that was in my cart faster than
- [Caramel Apple Magic Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/29/caramel-apple-magic-bars/) - Caramel apples are one of my favorite things evereverever. But ya see, I have this *thing* with biting into apples. Maybe it was because when I was a kid, I had this loose tooth and my cousin so brightly suggested I bite down hard into an apple to somehow dislodge said tooth. After trying and
- [The BEST Chewy Pumpkin Chip Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/09/30/the-best-chewy-pumpkin-chip-cookies/) - Can you believe there was a time when I disliked pumpkin? I know. It's like I was abducted by aliens or under some terrible influence of pumpkin-hating hallucinogens or something. Thank goodness I found my way down the appropriate pumpkin-loving path because had I not, I would have never discovered the joy that are these
- [Butterfinger Maple Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/05/butterfinger-maple-bars/) - A couple weeks ago I attended the BlogHer '14 conference in San Jose, CA. Since San Jose is only a couple hours from me, I drove down early and decided I would explore the city for a little bit before my friends showed up. It wasn't until I was down there in downtown San Jose
- [Funfetti Banana Bread {Funfetti Week!!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/20/funfetti-banana-bread-funfetti-week/) - Really, at this point I'm using any excuse I can get my greedy hands on to eat sprinkles for breakfast. But I guarantee if you have picky eaters at home, this is one easy way to trick them into eating fruit. Okay, so banana bread isn't a fruit -- you guys are so technical -- but it is
- [One-Hour Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls {Funfetti Week!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/19/one-hour-funfetti-cinnamon-rolls-funfetti-week/) - I've always been kind of a morbid person. It first started with my infatuation/fright of Forensic Files and that risk of seeing blurry, sepia-toned crime scene photos. And then it developed into a weird fascination with bruises. And now, it's watching Botched while eating Funfetti Cinnamon Rolls. Because let's face it: while everyone else in Beverly Hills
- [Funfetti Gooey S'mores Bars {Funfetti Week!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/18/funfetti-gooey-smores-bars-funfetti-week/) - I can't remember when or for what, but awhile ago I was looking at a feature that was written up about Funfetti goodies, and a couple of my recipes were featured. I made the mistake of scrolling to the comments section. Most of the comments featured your standard "looks like a bunch of di-uh-bee-tus" or
- [Rice Krispy Treat Donuts](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/13/rice-krispy-treat-donuts/) - Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll look up local listings on Zillow. I live in an upper-middle-class neighborhood that has very affluent neighborhoods sprinkled throughout the city. And those more affluent neighborhoods tend to have McMansions the size of a small African country. Occasionally, I'll walk, hike or bike near these McMansions and stare at them
- [Sparkling Italian Creme Sodas with Canada Dry!](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/11/sparkling-italian-creme-sodas-with-canada-dry/) - This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #AddSparkle #CollectiveBias #Shop When I was a little girl, my family would occasionally take me out to dinner at this local spaghetti restaurant. The food was your standard Ragu-type fare -- in other words, nothing remotely "Italian." But

All opinions are mine alone. #AddCoolWhip #CollectiveBias As a kid, one of my favorite snacks was Jell-O Pudding Snacks topped with a hefty (and I mean hefty!) dollop of Cool Whip on top. The ratio was probably one cup Cool Whip to standard-size

All opinions are mine alone. #TrendTea #CollectiveBias So some of you may not know, but I have two younger siblings: a 20 (soon-to-be-21!) year-old brother, and a 16 year-old sister.

And lemme tell ya -- that blonde loves her sprinkles :) I met Sally in this gigantic, crazy blogging world I live in. Her blog was new like mine (in fact, I believe we both
- [KopyCat Krispy Kreme Doughnuts](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/08/25/kopycat-krispy-kreme-doughnuts/) - Last year, one of my Facebook friends Amanda posted a picture on her wall for Cotton Candy Grapes. Cotton. Candy. Motherlovin'. Grapes, people. Needless to say, I began my hunt for these amazing grapes, starting at my local Safeway where she had found hers. No luck at my Safeway, so I periodically checked other Safeways in
- [Ritz Peanut Butter Caramel S'mores Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/01/ritz-peanut-butter-caramel-smores-bars/) - After getting lost on a hike a couple days ago, I realized that I would never, ever survive in the wilderness. My friend and I went on a hike and our trail ended, so we were forced to take another smaller trail, which led to another smaller trail, which branched to three smaller trails in
- [The PERFECT Chocolate Chip Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/07/the-perfect-chocolate-chip-cookies/) - We all have our guilty pleasures. For me, it's Real Housewives of Orange County, new magazines, and French fries -- whenever I'm in the presence of any of those things, I instantly go weak in the knees and any willpower dissipates. And lately, I'm embarrassed to say, Keeping Up With The Kardashians is also included on that
- [Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/09/orange-creamsicle-cupcakes-2/) - I've recently developed a gnarly addiction to watching the Kardashians. It stemmed from being bored one day, done with work, house was cleaned and all I longed to do was watch crappy reality TV. I'd seen all the Real Housewives junk, Jerry Springer was nothing special and House Hunters makes me homicidal, so Kardashians it was. It was
- [Neapolitan Bars {Neapolitan Week!!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/14/neapolitan-bars-neapolitan-week/) - If you need to know anything about me, it's that I love ice cream. Love it. Like my love for pizza, donuts, and Betsey Johnson dresses, I don't have a specific type that I have to have. Sure, I have my favorites, but in general I consider myself a pretty equal-opportunity ice cream eater (though don't
- [Neapolitan No-Bake Cheesecake {Neapolitan Week!!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/17/neapolitan-no-bake-cheesecake-neapolitan-week/) - In general, I'm a super friendly person. I love meeting new people, I love talking, I love story-telling, and I love making small-talk with clients, customers, strangers in the grocery store line -- you get it. So much so, that I think I've talked to every single citizen of Sacramento at least once in their life &
- [Homemade Double Stuf Oreos](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/21/homemade-double-stuf-oreos/) - I'd like to clear up a misconception here. Not all food bloggers are brimming with genius dessert and dinner ideas all the time. In fact, I'd venture to say that more than half of the time, we sit here on Pinterest for hours on end, catch back-to-back episodes of Giada at Home on Food Network
- [Glazed Donut Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/28/glazed-donut-pie/) - There are only been a small handful of times where I've been outright discriminated against. Once as a Girl Scout, when my troop was out camping near a river. The river had a sign that said "No Wading" and the girls with me said "no wadding?" but pronounced it like "wah-ding" so I gently said,
- [The BEST Blueberry Muffins](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/07/30/the-best-blueberry-muffins/) - I know with a claim like "the best", I better have a muffin to substantiate that claim. This, my friends, is that muffin. Now. I know most people have their "best muffin ever" recipe and they're not swaying. Believe me, I'm not trying to get you to sway. Much like our celebrity free pass and our top
- [Nutella-Filled Monster Cookie Bars](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/02/nutella-filled-monster-cookie-bars/) - Were you ever scared of monsters under your bed or hiding in your closet? I was, but I was weirdly scared more of human monsters lurking around. I was, and always have been paranoid about someone trying to kill me for some reason. Maybe it was all of the Forensic Files I was exposed to as
- [Copycat Chocolate & Vanilla Wendy's Frosties](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/08/copycat-chocolate-vanilla-wendys-frosties/) - Friends, it's time you answered the age-old question for me. Do YOU dip your fries in Frosties? Personally, I find it to be a requirement every time I visit Wendy's. Nothing beats that sweet and salty combination of crispy, salted French fries dipped into that smooth, chocolate-y, cold Frosty. Anytime sweet and salty is involved
- [Pop Tart Cookie Dough S'mores](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/10/pop-tart-cookie-dough-smores/) - I really envy all of you who are no longer in this cruel, harsh world of dating. If I had to compare the dating to world to something, it would probably be District 12 in the Hunger Games. Vastly insipid & just downright terrible. So a few days ago, I posted on my personal Facebook,
- [Maple Bacon Pancake Pound Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/13/maple-bacon-pancake-pound-cake/) - Let's talk Dads for a second. Dads rule, am I right? My dad definitely rules. And I promise he didn't even pay me to say that! They fix stuff for us, like deflated tires and broken hearts; they buy stuff for us, like hot pastrami sandwiches; and they teach us stuff, like by whooping our
- [Oreo Peanut Butter Pies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/16/oreo-peanut-butter-pies/) - Can we talk about those pregnant belly baby shower cakes? I really -- I really can't deal with those cakes. Who came up with the idea for them? Pregnant woman: "I'm looking for a cake for my upcoming baby shower. Can I place an order here?" Bakery woman: "Sure. Did you have any ideas in mind?
- [Strawberry Crumb Muffins](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/19/strawberry-crumb-muffins/) - Confession time: Strawberries aren't my favorite. I know, I know. Like strawberries, I'm also in the minority for disliking flip-flops, The Big Bang Theory, and white pants. I just can't get behind any of the above. I'm sorry I fail at life. It's not that I dislike them, I just prefer other berries to the
- [Patriotic Tye Dye Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/23/patriotic-tye-dye-cupcakes/) - The Fourth of July is a holiday I really loathe. Maybe it's me but when you're an adult, fireworks just seem so childish and pointless. In case you were wondering, I'm about as far away from being a pyromaniac as Charlie Sheen is from being attractive. Just opposite spectrums here. Candles are about as flammable as
- [Coke Float Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/06/24/coke-float-cupcakes/) - I am a Team Coke girl. Growing up, we drank Coke religiously in this house. My parents were never the types who withheld sweets, candy or soda, so we usually had free reign over what we wanted to eat. Granted, we couldn't have sodas with dinner, have cookies before meals or substitute actual substantial food
- [Strawberry Jelly Danish Squares](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/09/strawberry-jelly-danish-squares/) - What I've Learned (So Far) From Online Dating: There's more to the profile than meets the eye. And this is both a good and bad thing. I've met guys with so-so profiles who were a ton of fun on the date. I've also met guys with informative, well-written profiles who were total duds. My only requisite
- [Fudgy Peanut Butter Cookie Brookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/10/fudgy-peanut-butter-cookie-brookies/) - Is there something most other women can do that you absolutely can't? For me, it's doing anything hairstyle-related. I can tell you how to dye your hair, how to get the most vibrant color for your buck, what dyes to use, and so forth. I've bleached my hair more times than I can remember and
- [The Best One-Hour Cinnamon Rolls](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/14/the-best-one-hour-cinnamon-rolls/) - Making homemade cinnamon rolls used to frighten me, almost in the same way that singing karaoke and being around children does. I wished I could be some pro, but really, the idea of it gave me the heebie jeebies. But then one day I realized I couldn't let fear overcome my life. I longed for
- [Easy Vanilla Cake Donuts](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/21/easy-vanilla-cake-donuts/) - I am a donut fiend. Maple bars, old fashioned, cream-filled, sprinkle cake.. I love them all so very much. I am an equal-opportunist donut eater & lover. Usually, I'm not much a fan of making donuts at home. Why? Because it either takes too much work OR I find that they don't taste the same
- [3-Ingredient Nutella Croissants](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/24/3-ingredient-nutella-croissants/) - I don't know about you, but croissants are one of those breakfast items that I usually skip over. I like them, but if given the choice between a flaky croissant or a chewy donut, I'm choosing the donut -- hands down. But that doesn't mean I don't have my croissant-eating moments. I surely do. Usually
- [No-Bake Muddy Buddy Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/05/29/no-bake-muddy-buddy-cookies/) - When I say the term "hot-button issues", what do you think of? Maybe, war on terrorism? Gun control? Legalizing certain drugs? But do you ever think of "spectacles: on or off"? Because apparently it's the latest controversial topic to sweep my OkCupid inbox. You see, on OkCupid I have a couple profile pictures. Of the
- [CopyCat Oatmeal Creme Pies {Oatmeal Creme Pie Week!!}](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/04/10/copycat-oatmeal-creme-pies-oatmeal-creme-pie-week/) - The past few days I've admittedly been a little MIA... only because something very serious happened and I feel like I owe it to you guys to tell you about it. Well, here goes. I started watching Breaking Bad. And I. Cannot. Stop. For the life of me, I cannot peel my eyeballs away from the
- [Sticky Toffee Pudding Cookies](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/04/17/sticky-toffee-pudding-cookies/) - So as you know, I've been doing the online dating thing for awhile now. And in this short time, I have come to figure out some key things guys should NOT do when it comes to dating sites and the photography they choose to portray themselves. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time
- [Homemade Churros](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/04/19/homemade-churros/) - You guys. I just did something ground-breaking. I made churros at home. And they actually taste like churros! You know when you get something super-cool and fun, like a snow-cone machine and think I'm going to be eating cherry snow cones at home for the remainder of my lifeeeee! But then you operate it and
- [Guiltless Lemon Coconut Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/04/24/guiltless-lemon-coconut-cake/) - Have you guys heard of Poshmark? It's kind of like eBay but pretty much consists of girlie clothes, shoes and accessories. People sell things in their "closets" that they no longer want, but you can also work out trades or bundles with the sellers, and there's no bidding required. In other words, it's pretty much
- [{Guiltless} Key Lime Pie](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/04/29/guiltless-key-lime-pie/) - Key Lime Pie fans -- or KLPF for short -- rejoice. Y'all have a guiltless version of your favorite treat starting now. I am a recent convert of KLP. While it's not my favorite pie flavor, and I certainly wouldn't choose it over say, apple or coconut cream, I do like it. I like that tangy, sour
- [Over the Rainbow Brownie Bombs](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/03/03/over-the-rainbow-brownie-bombs/) - Yesterday, I did a grown-uppy thing: I got a queen-size bed!! This is pretty exciting news seeing that I have been sleeping on a twin for my entire life and finally feel like I've surpassed some grown-up right-of-passage with my grown-up bed. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I'm a big girl now! So
- [Andes Thin Mint Cupcakes](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/03/05/andes-thin-mint-cupcakes/) - Sigh. Is it Girl Scout Cookie season again already?! Every year I try to evade them around this time.. going to grocery stores at weird hours, avoiding making eye contact with potential mothers and/or young girls wearing vests, and never carrying cash which is easy since I am consistently broke as it is. But man,
- [Oreo Overload Cake](https://thedomesticrebel.com/2014/03/06/oreo-overload-cake/) - Don't say I didn't warn you. Because I totally did on Facebook. I even gave you a 10+ hour head start to mentally prepare, pray for your sanity, take a few laps.. what have you. This cake, though -- it is insanity, people. So a couple days ago I was doing my usual social networking
