I can’t get enough.
I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

I used about the same amount of butter today making 5 different cookies and fudge. My arteries feel clogged from just looking at it all!

Um, gorg. Definitely will be purchasing Hepcat soon–thank you!
BTW, Nars Orga…yeah is my fave. How is it that a peach color can look so fab on everyone? I’m only assuming it’s magic.

All those butter wrappers…oh my gosh! Love, love, love it. ‘Tis the season, right? :)

The Urban Decay is in my fave shade! Love, love, love glow bracelets, necklaces, etc, even at my ‘advanced’ age, and I gotta say, you obviously didn’t spend much time in the kitchen, very little butter, and for shame, NO BACON! That’s ok, I think bacon will be dinner tonight… Right before the omg chocolate decadence torte birthday cake! I so love having all the bakeries here in Portland! Happy holidays, and big hugs for Bella!

@Jessica – A big fat THANK YOU for putting me back in the holiday spirit! Between being sick and throwing out my back this weekend, I was ready to just call off the holidays and hide under my covers until the New Year. After looking at your pictures though I’m ready to start blaring Christmas music again and dive back in to the cookies. (That is once my taste buds are back and the diving will be done slowly until the back is 100%!!)
P.S. Is that snow in that one picture? I only ask because Dallas doesn’t seem to understand the concept of the white stuff falling from the sky. Jealous!!

Love McCormicks and Schmicks too! Yummm…their $10 lunch specials are truly amazing. Yo r pic of our little snow dusting in the ‘Burgh was beautiful…..here’s to hoping we get a little bit more just to make it feel Christmas-y. Merry Christmas Jess and may you and Mr. How Sweet have a wonderful New Year!

Love the butter wrappers pic–while I was trail running this weekend I was dreaming up a custom screen printed Tshirt for myself with something like “Powered by butter” on it. (Or, maybe “Powered by butter and baked goods”…with drawings of cookies, breads, muffins and waffles…) Happy baking!
