I’ve always been a vodka girl. In college, it was Burnett’s (just typing that makes me dry heave). In young adulthood, it’s Grey Goose. And, now, Cardinal Spirits. And, they may soon turn me into a gin girl, too. Cardinal Spirits is a small distillery that recently opened in Bloomington, right along the B-Line Trail. I’ve […]

Mom’s Lasagna
There are few foods more comforting than a pan full of homemade lasagna. My mom’s recipe is the best and substitutes turkey sausage and low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter version of the classic.
Wedding Wednesday: Picking Out Bridesmaid Dresses
Did I fail to mention my bridesmaids are all total babes? They can wear anything and make it look good. But, I want them to feel good when they’re at the wedding, too. One of the many things I love about these girls is how unique all of their personalities are — including their styles. […]
Slow-Cooker Pork Carnitas
If I had it my way, I would eat Mexican food for every meal. I can never get enough of the comforting, spicy cuisine. This recipes is one my favorites — my parents have been making it for years. It’s easy, healthy and makes enough meat to feed an army. They threw this in the crockpot […]
Wedding Wednesday: Choosing Your Bridal Party
I’m extremely lucky to have so many amazing gal pals. From college, to my first job, to my new life in Bloomington, I’ve formed friendships that will last a lifetime. If I could, I would have every single one of my girls standing up next to me on my wedding day. But, having 18 bridesmaids […]
How To Host A Groovy ‘Mad Men’ Party
Of all the events we host, our annual ‘Mad Men’ party is James’ favorite. He’s a sucker for anything ’60s. Everyone dresses up in 1960s-inspired attire, which is the best part. James picked up a blazer from a local vintage store and I finally got to wear this gorgeous ball skirt I ordered from Shabby Apple. […]
An Indianapolis Institution
It’s been a long week for journalists in Indiana. After working some crazy hours, escaping to Indy for an evening was the perfect way to unwind. We had tickets to see Shakey Graves at the Murat with some friends (he was even better live than on vinyl) and decided to head up early to grab dinner […]
Wedding Wednesday: Choosing A Venue
In about eight weeks, James and I will be standing in that very spot, saying “I do.” Is this the point in the wedding planning process when I panic? Or maybe just drink a lot of wine? Luckily, we have most of the details of our big day nailed down (the benefits of a year and a […]
Wedding Wednesday: Planner vs. DIY
Two months. That’s how far away James and I are from getting married. It’s hard to believe because we’ve been planning our wedding for a year and a half. From the moment we got engaged, I knew I wanted a DIY wedding. I love hosting events and believe the little details that go into them […]
Back to blogging
After a two-year hiatus from blogging, I’ve decided to relaunch The Broadcasting Baker! My good friend Molly’s recent foray into the blogging world inspired me. I look forward to reading her posts on Life Treats every week and doing so reminded me of how much I enjoyed having a creative outlet outside of the office. A lot […]
