meet.make.earl grey cupcakes.

Last week Stephanie had to bring baked goods to work for a bake sale fundraiser, so we decided to get together to whip something up! It has been awhile since we have done any sort of baking.

While we were doing our photo-shoot with Nell, we decided we needed a quick and easy treat to indulge in! 

There is nothing new about root beer floats... but these ones were extra tasty as we were using Phillip's Intergalactic Root Beer! 

Black Forest Cream Pie

We are so excited to have the lovely Anja stopping by today to share a recipe.... Black Forest cream pie! Anja blogs over at Cocalores, and you must head over and visit her there! (After you finish reading through her post below of course :P)

Hi everyone! My name is Anja and I'm so glad to be guest posting here today. My very own little home on the web is Cocalores, where I blog about my creative endeavors (easy DIYs, crafts, crochet, and all other creative things that tickle my fancy) and sometimes dessert... there's always time for dessert, right?

May I just say I love meet.make.laugh.? Steph, Hayley and Cindy are some of the nicest girls out there, and if they didn't live 5000 miles away, I'd totally have them over for coffee and cake. So why not have a virtual coffee klatsch with Black Forest cream pie?

meet.make.lavender lemon cheesecake bites.

These little cheesecake cups were our Easter dinner treats! Our holiday dinners are anything but light so we wanted to make a dessert that everyone would have room for and weren't too rich to want to eat.

We've never attempted to make cheescake before so we thought we would make little cups to decrease our chances of messing up. We came across the recipe from Rara Bakes  and added our own spin to them. SInce it was Easter we thought something with lavender would be fitting and also decided to zest with lemon and add raspberries to complete the presentation.

Lavender and lemon are definitely a favourite combo of ours.... previously we had attempted a really tasty drink with these flavours and LOVED it! 

Note that in lieu of a mini cheescake pan, we used a muffin pan, decreased the temperature by 25 degrees and increased the baking time to 25 min.

With less then a month until Valentines day, Pinterest has exploded with Valentines DIYs and recipes. Around here (at least for Steph and Cindy), Valentines Day is most often a day spent with girlfriends. Both of the chef husbands are at work as it the busiest day of the year for them! 

In honour of these girly Valentines get togethers, we thought we would go into the meet.make.laugh. vault and re-share one of our favourite sweet treats, Nutella bites! These are perfect for any Valentines celebration, whether you are spending it with your loved one, friends, or even as a treat to take to work for the office. 

meet.make.salted caramel shortbread.

One of our new recipes for our annual baking weekend this year was inspired by this recipe for salted caramel shortbread. We were all really excited to try this out, because who doesn't love the combo of caramel and sea salt?

Our favourite time of year has come and gone... but we must say that our ladies baking weekend 2012 was a delicious success!

Our favorite time of the year is quickly approaching - Baking weekend with the ladies! And we couldn't be more excited!

About 3 years ago, we started an island tradition of hosting a weekend with the gals, baking up a storm for the holidays. We put our scrubs and laptops away, and fill ourselves with treats, all the cheesy Christmas music our hearts have desperately desired, and just some good old quality ladies time. 

We're not going to give too too much away though, as we will post for our epic weekend to come... 
What we do need before then though, is your help in deciding what to add to our list of goodies! 

Calling all you avid Christmas bakers out there - help us by sharing your favorite recipes!

meet.make.lemon cookies.

I came across this recipe on Pinterest last week.... and immediately decided I needed to make these right away. I have a weakness for lemon flavoured things, and after a quick glance at the recipe I realized I had all of these things at home, so a trip to the grocery store wasn't even needed. 

My evening just got exciting. Baking lemon cookies, and so excited about it. 

High Class High School

What does the smell of Malibu remind you of? Maybe fake ID's, school dances, and nights ending in spooning the toilet bowl?

Time to kick it old school! We're bringing you back to the good ol' days... when all that mattered was where everyone was partying on Friday night. We'll bring the Malibu... you bring the pineapple.

More high school trivia - what classic dish takes 5 min to make and was perfectly satisfying for breaky, lunch, and dinner? Grilled cheese sammies!

If you didn't attend your 10 year high school reunion, don't fret. These high school staples will surely take you down memory lane.

P.S. Dibs out on being the DD.

Even though we’re crafty, not all our creations are original. Big shout outs to the following sites and/or people for inspiring this ladies night in...
