I wasn't planning on baking or cooking anything special for St. Patrick's Day. I've never really celebrated the holiday, and besides, I knew I'd be getting my Irish food fix from my co-worker's famous Irish soda bread.

We always love a chance to make a birthday cake (and our friends don't seem to mind it either). This particular cake was for our close friend Hannah, who needed a cake that was dairy-free. 

We make a LOT of homemade pizza in our apartment—so when I say this one has become our new favorite, that's saying a lot. 

If you are thinking about asking a special someone to be your valentine, our recommendation is this: do it with a plate of these cookie bars in your hand, and they are bound to say yes. 

This is by far the best bowl of oatmeal I've ever had. Steel-cut oats are heartier and more satisfying than rolled oats, and the morning-glory flavors burst with every bite. Steel-cut oats are also a complete whole-grain, making this a healthy, wholesome way to start your morning.

When you're craving the flavors of lemon poppy seed, there's really nothing else that can satisfy. Hence why these were baked at midnight on a Sunday, because when the urge hit us, there was no point in resisting it.
