My friend Amber texted me yesterday and said “I hope your birthday is amaze-balls.” It was pretty good but I MADE amaze-balls. I was going to make myself Joey’s Birth Day Cake, but I didn’t butter the pans well enough and the cakes stuck. So I threw the cake into the peanut butter frosting and mixed it up (in the stand mixer). Then I made it into balls and froze them. Once they were cold, they got the chocolate ganache treatment.
We enjoyed them tonight with vanilla bean ice cream and a spoonful of organic strawberry spread. Sooooo good. Amaze-balls.
So now I’m 28, and my blog is 5. My blog’s a kindergartener!


Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.





Oh -oh -oh … I am so giving the recipe tip to my husband !(he’s the cooking one
Happy belated birthday!! I too love your blog! Those do look terrific – and so clever of you to not just toss them but make something so good!
