What was I doing ten years ago?
I was 16 years old so undoubtley I was driving as much as possible. Amazing how things change in 10 years as now I hate driving if I don't need to! Anyway, I digress. It was the Summer between sophomore and Junior year in high school, I had my first job at The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum and boy was I shocked at how many children were in St. Louis!! I spent every M-F waking up at 5:00 for 5:30 Cheerleading practice and my favorite shows were: Friends, 90210 and Dawson's Creek.

What are five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today?
1. Happy Hour with husband's work
2. Cousin (in-laws) birthday party
3. Girls night with BFF who is moving from me next weekend :(
4. Catch up on Celebrity gossip after being INSANELY busy this week
5. Set alarm for Bridesmaid dress shopping in the morning with BFF.

Five snacks I enjoy:
1. Cheese
2. Graham Crackers
3. Cheese and Crackers
4. Fruit (if it's already cut and ready to go!)
5. Mini ice cream bars

Five things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Pay off all of our debt and my family's debt
2. Buy a new house in a cute little neighborhood that I aspire to live in, then furnish that house!
3. TRAVEL!!!! Italy, most of Europe, Fiji, Australia (for DH - I could take it or leave it!), China, Russia, Chile, etc...
4. Quit my job and open a gift shop with unique, hand made items (and of course some delicious fresh baked goods)
5. Start a family and be the ultimate soccer mom (preppy clothes, Lexus SUV, Panera coffee cup in hand always, fundraising volunteer, etc.)

Places I’ve lived:
1. St. Louis, MO
2. Springfield, MO (school)

Jobs I’ve had:
1. Seven years at The Magic House, St. Louis Children's Museum
2. One summer at Baskin Robbins as a second job for the free ice cream!
3. One semester at Abercrombie & Fitch (5 hours a week at $5 an hour bring home does not a job make!)
4. My current job - Community Relations and Marketing for a chain of restaurants.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
