This NOPE diy has been a long time in the making. Why you ask? Let it be known, that I (Kaylynn Young) used to be a huge pushover. I don’t know if I was just desperate for people to like me, but I’d let people trample all over me. Honestly, I didn’t even realize I […]
Aunt Carol’s healthy Linguini
Healthy linguini? Get outta here. No such thing exists. We’re talking Tooth Fairy and Boogie man…. healthy linguini. PSH!
On Wednesdays We Wear Pink DIY Graphic Tee
One of my all-time favorite movies is “Mean Girls.” Laugh all you want, but I love that high school over-dramatic stuff. There are so many hilarious quotes. One of my favorites? “I want my pink shirt back!” and “Danny Devito I love your work!” Pretty much anything that Damian says is just pure gold. Plus, […]
Mini Princess Cakes
You may have noticed a trend on birthdays…. it has to do with princesses and cakes….
T’s 4th birthday
My little human just (like a month ago …. whoops!) had her 4th birthday party! I know everyone always says stuff like that, but really – how is she 4?? I wanted to do a Princess party – how original, right? (I’ll show more pictures later this week!) The problem was – which princess or […]
Lindor inspired faux Margarita
*This post is sponsored – chocolate was given to me, but all opinions are 100% original and my own.* I LOVE a good faux Margarita – it’s one of my most favorite things to order at restaurants. I don’t always order them though, so it’s kind of a treat. Not anymore. I’m making these ALL […]
Copycat Ernie’s Deli Chocolate Cake
There’s the place in Orem – it’s legendary: Ernie’s deli. In high school it was the cool place to sluff class. Not that I would know PERSONALLY because I was always IN class. (not joking – nerd alert.) When I finally tried the Famous Ernie’s deli I realized I’d discovered a new piece of awesome. […]
The Best Coconut Cream Pie
I’d never tried coconut cream pie. (Sorry to keep beating the same old bush, but do you remember the chocolate pie?! Yeah, it’s that good, so growing up I never branched out.) I hear that two of my aunts make a mean coconut cream pie, but I wouldn’t know. I’d never needed the best coconut […]
The Best Apple Pie
Apple Pie. But not just any pie – the best apple pie recipe is right here. The American classic –
Life Lessons: 10 Things I Learned from my Stillborn
Nothing can prepare you for a loss – one minute you’re fine and the next minute all of your dreams have been ripped away. However, as my little family and I have waded through grief, there have been several amazing and important things we have learned about ourselves, about others, and about how to relate […]
The Best Pecan Pie
This, my friends, is the BEST Pecan Pie. I’m a recent convert to pecan pie. I mean, really…why would I waste my time with some nut pie when I could have CHOCOLATE pie?! Chocolate is obviously my favorite, but when the chocolate pie ran out (and yes, it did run out very first) I had […]
My favorite pie: Chocolate Mousse Pie
This month, in honor of Pie For Ty, I’ll be sharing one of my favorite pie recipes every week. Get stoked y’all. Favorite part of any meal? Dessert. More specifically, PIE. Hands down. No questions asked. I’ll eat pie all the live-long-day.
Why I will NEVER stop wearing leggings
With all the different opinions floating around the internet on “Why I Won’t Wear Leggings”, I thought this post needed to resurface. I hope you’ll bear with me as I ramble and try to tell this story of why I will never stop wearing leggings.
Goo Goo Cluster Brownie Cheesecake
A Goo Goo cluster brownie Cheesecake? You may think it’d be too much, but I’m here to say that it is perfection. One of the first cookbooks I ever bought and LOVED was this Phildelphia Cheesecakes and More. It changed my life – for several reasons.
Nutella Stuffed Sandies
TMNT Movie Night and Gourmet Pizzas!
Disclosure: I am participating in this campaign as a member of the World Market Ambassador Program. I received compensation in the form of gift cards, but all opinions are my own. Growing up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was my favorite movie. Not even joking. I had it memorized. I turned it on every night for […]
Super Simple Stuffed French Toast
Whenever we go to St. George we HAVE to hit up this little dive called “Bear Paw.” It’s a family favorite and basically – we’ve never ordered anything bad there. Everything is AMAZING and we’re constantly “WOW-ed” by the deliciousness of their food. These guys are KNOWN for their stuffed French Toast.
Nuts and Bolts (aka Chex Mix)
Nuts and Bolts? What the heck are you talking about Kaylynn? Ok ok – for all you people that have no idea what I’m talking about…. it’s homemade Chex Mix. To DIE for homemade Chex Mix. But from here on out – aka, the rest of this blog post – I shall refer to it […]
Our stillborn story: Ian Colby Young
One of my friends, who occasionally reads my blog, has said to me several times, “Kaylynn, you need to be more REAL in your posts.” I always nodded and agreed, more of a, “Yeah, I know, but I’d just rather share recipes than open up,” kind of feeling. And then I was humbled. Big time.
Girl on Fire Vinyl Tee
There are several reasons I love this Girl on Fire shirt: Let me ‘splain (Classic Princess Bride quote) 1. The Alicia Keys song: Girl on Fire. This so is SO powerful. It reminds me to be confident, to be awesome, and to just be…. on fire! 2. When I think of the phrase, “Girl on […]
