April 14th is National Pecan Day! Pecans are one of my favorite nuts and are popular for their buttery flavor and soft crunch. When I learned there was a National Day recognizing pecans I decided to learn some more about this delicious nut.

Pecans have a rich history in the United States. It's the only major nut tree that grows naturally in North America. The word pecan is of Native American origin that was used to describe "all nuts requiring a stone to crack.” It's history can be traced back to...

April 15 is quickly approaching. Have you filed your taxes?

If you're like me, you wait until the last possible minute and then rely on a talented tax accountant to make sense of the chaos.

My taxes are complete and filed. All that's left to do is thank my accountant with gourmet brownies from Fairytale Brownies. Yes, I paid him for his services already. But sending brownies will be a surprise that I'm sure he'll love receiving - especially since this last two weeks before deadline will most...

I was recently invited to my sister's house for "Girl's Bunco Night" as she desperately needed a sub. I was also asked if I would bring dessert, not just any dessert you see but rather I was told politely to bring Fairytale Brownies for dessert. Well, this made my very busy life a little easier! I walked right into our retail store which happens to be about 20 feet from my office and ordered a combination of Gourmet Chocolate Brownies, Fairytale Bars in all 4 flavors, and of course my favorite...

Our favorite story of the young year came to us last month from Germany.

A person dressed as Sesame Street’s cookie monster stole a 44-pound gilded cookie statue from a bakery and held it for ransom. The ransom? He insisted that the bakery’s owners send cookies to a local children’s hospital.

Reading the story, we couldn’t help but wonder why he didn’t just send cookies from Fairytale Brownies. That’s right. In addition to gourmet brownies, we create delicious cookie baskets too. Here are three of...

I can't believe t's almost Easter already (the first of two in my house - my husband is Greek, so in a few more weeks we'll celebrate Greek Easter, too)! I have to admit, Easter was always one of my favorite holidays as a kid. I loved hunting for eggs, LOVED marshmallow Peeps (still do), and I've always loved the idea of new beginnings. I also loved spring in the Midwest, as the ground thawed and little signs of new life and budding plants were everywhere. I don't get that part in Phoenix this...
