You may have been reading this blog of ours for days, weeks, or even years (yay! and thank you!) Sure, we post a picture here and there, or a video of our hands… but after all that time I figured it was about time we gave you a bit more of a peek inside our kitchen. Let you get to know the people behind the words and pictures and recipes that you see here every week.
As we’ve been wanting to do more with video on the blog, we took a digital video class this fall at a local art school. Just for fun. And as our class project, we decided to create an “about video” for the blog. For you. So rather than just reading about us, you actually get to see and hear us in all our awkward glory.
You’ll have to excuse our quirks, like the lumpy cake batter, mixer explosion, side talking and begging cats. Because that’s who we are, really and truly. No gimmicks. No special effects. Just us.
I hope you like it (and us!)
On, and if you’re hungry after watching that, check out the Classic Reuben Sandwich recipe and the recipe for the Yellow Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting that we prepare in the video.
What a great idea for a giveaway! Thanks :)
Love this video and learning more about you both – you guys are adorable!
Thanks for all of the awesome recipes! Thanks for the giveaway!
Love your recipes and blog! I’d love to try your fantastic cookies!
Treats for the holidays are the best gifts.
Flipping adorable. I have a closet full of dish soap! well okay, an entire dish soap shelf…
“deserted islands have cake?!” cracking up.
What a charming video! And I love the cats! I have a gray one, too, name of Tweeter!
This video is so cute!! What a great idea for an about me page. So welcoming and makes me want to eat from your kitchen everyday! So fun :)
I have been coming here for a while and love all of your work and recipes.
Post more cat pictures! I hope I win the goodies. Thanks!
That’s adorable! I love it. But it does need more kitties. I’m surprised Kalypso didn’t make an appearance on the counter. ;-)
That took effort, haha. :) Figured not everyone would approve of such a thing.
Y’all are adorable!
Great giveaway!

I ADORED this video. Really shows your and Taylor’s personality shine through, even though I’ve already met both of you several times ;) it just gives the audience who haven’t had the chance to meet you two the opportunity to get more personal. A few comments:
1. Love your mint cardigan. I want to steal it. Maybe not steal, borrow? ;)
2. Mixer explosion cracked me up!
3. You two are seriously so cute. Haha, closet-full of dish soap.

I love the video. It’s so much more personal than a regular old “About Me” page. You guys are the cutest.
Awesome giveaway! I would love nothing more than to win cookies… I’m pregnant and have been craving cookies (for the first time in my life!). I actually told my husband last night that I want cookies but I want someone else to make them for me, haha.
You guys are so freaking cute. And majorly talented. Loved this!
You all did a wonderful job on the video! Only slightly awkward, but it was the endearing type of awkward..haha. Thanks for the chance to win some cookies!! Yum!

Thanks so much for offering this giveaway! It would be such a treat to try your own homemade treats- I know my attempts at your baked goods are always a hit with my family and at work!

You are adorable. Thanks for sharing!
What a treat that would be! Thanks.
I have never commented on your blog before, but that video was too cute! I love when you said even if cooking dinner takes an hour, we are doing it together and spending time together. This is the very reason I love to cook with others; people can bond so much over food.
This is one prize I would really love to win – your food always look so amazing! Thank you for the giveaway!
What a different thing to give to your readers – something you made not something you were given from a company. Thanks so much for being so thoughtful!
Such a great video! So professional – that class must have really paid off! And that cake – where can I find the recipe for that???
Holiday baking is the best!

Mmm, cookies.
Yum. Did I say yum? I would live a cookie right now with my morning coffee or later with tea or by itself or after dinner. There is no wrong time!!!!!!! Thanks.

I never watch videos but I watched yours and I love it! You guys make THE most adorable couple. Wow. And the video, so fun. That cake you made, Lindsay, I cannot believe you’re just whipping up a cake like that, with the camera rolling, but definitely say you’re ‘not chefs’. Oh yes, you most definitely are!
Love the video! Been following your blog for a while now because of my dear friend, Julie (your cousin!). So glad she told me about it. Always look forward to your updates. Oh, and my favorite recipe which I make often is your baked shrimp and Israeli Cous Cous!!
I just found your blog a few weeks ago, and I’m completely enchanted! Also, those brownies look AMAZING!
I love your cookie recipes. I wish I would have found your site sooner! Thanks.
