Current Obsessions.
1. These brownie pops. i.can’t.stop.staring. They take my sprinkles fixation to an entirely new level.
2. Dried figs.
I ate my first dried fig 6 years ago and have been hooked ever since. But I go through phases. Sometimes I can’t find them for weeks, even months. When I do find them… hands off. All mine. They are like candy. Yes, I like fresh figs too. But fresh figs in Pittsburgh? Pfffff. Not sure why we can’t find them in this beautiful tropical climate.
3. Pinterest. i.can’t.stop.pinning. Help.

I think of you every time I see fun sprinkles! I just saw some gorgeous sprinkles at HomeGoods and not too expensive! I bought a jar of BRIGHT PINK!
Those brownie pops are gorgeous! I just joined pinterest but have no clue how to use it!
Hehe! my fellow pinterest junkie! <3 How did we not have this from the very start!? so awesome. esp since ive had my bookmarks accidentally erased TWICE! pinning is way more "permanent" lol
MWAH!
It’s so addicting!
Those brownie pops are gorgeous!!!!! :D
I love the brownie pops! I made brownie bites a few months ago, and they were so fun! Plus, just good and all chocolate :)

ALSO – please remind me in a few months and I’ll try to send you some fresh figs! I’ve never had them, but the yard at our new house has 2 fig trees :) I’m excited. Guess I better get some recipes together before they start coming in!
Oh I am so jealous!
That fig is so cute. I can never find them in MN either :(
Those brownie pops are so adorable!
I’m avoiding pinterest – people are trying to lure me in but I’m resisting.
Give in. Do it.
I will stay up pinning past midnight, then wake up in the morning and go, “Auugh, why am I so tired??” and then think, “Oh, right, I was pinning” and NOT BE UPSET with myself. LOL Because pinning is that fun and relaxing.
Those spring decorated brownie pops are so, so cute. And dried figs…I only wish I had some! I just discovered fresh figs last summer and we’re about to plant a fig tree of our own because I loved them so much. And I’m trying to keep from opening a Pinterest account…it looks super fun, though!
My brother loves dried figs. I am a little nervous about trying them though…
I’m kind if scared to try figs on their own!
oh god I don’t want to know what pininterest is!
I’ll get addicted too I just know it! :P
Our climate makes the ideal country for growing fig trees. I love my home country, Portugal ♥
I LOVE figs! I am lucky to get fresh figs in the summer from my grandfather (has a greenhouse so he can grown them in the Ontario climate) but only started liking them the past couple years. I tried my first dried fig a couple months ago and could NOT believe I hadn’t tried them sooner. So delicious!
I am obsessed with pinterest. Best. idea. ever.
Figs are like nature’s candy!
At first I read that as pining and wondered and then I took a second look. LOL FIGS—–I wants some fresh ones NOW.
I actually prefer dried figs to fresh ones. I love them in greek yogurt with some honey drizzled on. So good.
I’ve never had a dried fig before. Perhaps this could turn into a 6 year obsession for me too?? haha
I can’t decide if I like figs or not. Sometimes I really think I do an other times the texture weirds me out.
i’m still waiting to sign up for pinterest :( but your’s id def. keeping me entertained! keep them coming :)
figs=heaven! love them!
I’m on the pinterest waiting list arrggghhh.
I am completely loving the dried figs! I randomly picked some up today at the local natural grocer while shopping for my favorite blackened tempeh sandwich (which is to die for!). They take me back to a carefree time as a child, of summers spent visiting my grandmother in Mexico. She had a fig tree in her yard that we used to climb to pick the ripe, deliciously fruit from.
I happened to peruse what you had “pinned” and saw the rainbow layer cake. I’m now looking for an occasion to make it. So freaking awesome!
I LOVE Pinterest!! I’m following you now!! I have pinned a couple of your recipes before!
pinterest. i have been staring at a pic of s’mores cookies for 1/2 hour. thanks alot.
pinterest looks so cool! I dont really understand it LOL but its awesome!
i’ve never had a dried fig! does it taste like fig newtons?
Those brownie pops are so cute. You have totally reignited my love of the sprinkle!
I have to say I’m surprised that you love figs….aren’t they too close to a healthy fruit for you ;-)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE dried figs!
Figs are pure magic! Have you ever had “figamajigs”? They’re dried figs dipped in dark chocolate!
I have no idea what pinterest is, but I LOVE every single thing on your “style” page. Ah! I need all of it.
I didnt even know pinterest existed!
If you had to pick a brownie or blondie recipe from your arsenal as the most amazing things ever…what would it be? Dont care if it’s not vegan, not GF, just has to be amazing. (preferably not tons of steps but if finished item is worth the steps, I can entertain complicated recipes…lol)
I love dried figs too – they’re some of my favorites
Figs are awesome. I love both dried and fresh.
I found coloured sugar today and now I’m obsessed it. They’re so pretty!
Yes – love dried figs!!
Gimme that blue towel! ;)
i love how i looked what Pinterest was… and the first thing under your site was mac n cheese bacon pie. hahaha classic :)
I am kind of obsessed with dried figs right now too, I made some amazing orange fig muffins the other day, they were so good. I want to make them again. Right now.
Also Whole Foods has this really good Orange Fig Gelato that I have to get every time I go.
I love pinterest too, I am a graphic designer, so I could basically waste days and days on that site.
LOVE dried figs!! especially dipped in almond butter and carob/chocolate chips! so delicious on their own too
I love figs! My favorite are the dark variety. All by themselves. By the handful. :-)
Loooove dried figs, and all the little crunchy seeds! I once made a cashew molasses dried nut butter thingy. So good. I think I’ll be trawling through my blog to find the recipe again tonight :P
Love looking at pintrest… its SO addicting! :) Will have to find you on there!
Cake pops, brownie pops, anything dipped in chocolate on a stick… I don’t discriminate!
Haha, you love your sprinkles! :D
I want to join pinterest so badly! There is a waiting list, apparently :( is there any way you can “invite” your readers?!
When you can’t find them go to a MIDDLE EASTERN MARKET. They always have really good dried figs.
You’re welcome.
I love pinterest, so addicting! Can I ask where you found that gorgeous blue/turquoise napkin? It is the perfect shade!
Pier 1!
I love dried figs. And I love your site! :)
Thanks for the linky-love.
