Every fall, the trees along the sidewalk place the prettiest of their leaves in my path for me to find! Sometimes I put them in my pocket and bring them home. It’d be rude not to! They were gifts after all…but it’s not fall yet is it? It’s August! …but today feels like fall, and to be honest, I’m having a hard time embracing it. But this recipe (and maybe a new pair of boots)…
Someday when I grow up, I would like the the following things for Elliot: Big windows Elliot can see out of without having to stand on the back of the couch A fenced in yard so Elliot can independently and leisurely nap outside And of course, a dog bone cookie cutter, not that he minds the stars and hearts Whenever I bake something, Elliot will patiently nap beneath the table that holds cooling baked goodness.…
Shnozberries taste like shnozberries and this coffeecake right there looks like pac-man. Most importantly it tastes delicious, and sometimes coffee cake can be dessert with a grilled dinner. Good thing it’s summer because these blueberries are Michigan’s finest, and they needed to be used promptly or they would’ve ruined everything by giving up on life. So make this! For dessert! For breakfast! For guests! For fun! For the sake of all blueberries in the world that…
I love pizza and I love corn bread. So here you go. A delicious marriage of those two amazing things. We ate these outside. So many good things at once. Too much of a good thing? Impossible. Could I eat this one or five times a week? Hell yes. Did you know that I also love individualized foods? It’s true. I do! That’s the link between my love for cupcakes and my love for these…
Mom’s just know things. Like the following: Peaches ripen quicker if put in a brown paper bag. This is good to know when you buy peaches the day before making peach crumble so they’d be freshest, but they’re not super ripe yet. If you’re making the sauce for on the ribs for dinner and you feel the need to thicken it with corn starch, you should take a measuring cup and remove some of the…
Don’t be fooled by the poppy seeds these scones got, they’re still orange from the block. They’re not better than you. They’re not pretentious. They are just simply orange and deliciously refreshing. I happen to love orange! …orange flavored pasteries that is. Not when people say I have orange hair. My hair is red. Thank you very much. This is a remix of the chocolate chip scones I made last week. It just goes to…

Please Note: I’ve made these again! Click HERE for the new post. When I was little, my mom would occasionally make waffles for dinner with ice cream in between. Once or twice we even had strawberry shortcake for dinner! As an adult, I had chocolate chip waffles for dinner once or twice… and something about these scones make me think of chocolate chip pancakes! So there you go. They’re good. I like them. You should…
I go to bed thinking about breakfast. My stomach rumbles as I tune into late night Golden Girls episodes, and I think about the breakfast in the near future and the coffee that is it’s close companion. Tonight I sampled one of these muffins and even drank coffee as if it was morning. Even though the windows are dark, there’s breakfast in my belly. These muffins are REALLY good, and it’s the perfect time to make…
So the end of July + August is just sprinkled with birthdays while these cookies are just sprinkled with sugar. My brother’s birthday was last week and I learned last year that cookies are his gift of choice. He’s the kind of guy who loves chocolate chip cookies, but is overly excited to meet the one chocolate chip cookie that’s chip-less! So this year I made him these giant sugar cookies because really, the cookie…
