Please Note: I’ve made this again! Click HERE for the new post. When I had a small birthday party as a kid, I opted for mini French Silk Pies instead of cake for my friends. It’s that good. This is the kind of pie that makes you say: “Cake shmake. Give me another piece of that chocolate pie.” This is one of our THREE desserts this Thanksgiving. Everyone finished every crumb. French Silk Pie Recipe from my lovely…
There was coffee on my nightstand when I woke up, this morning, and there was a cinnamon roll in my belly shortly after. There were snow flurries in Minnesota, and there were flour flurries in the kitchen. I’m thankful for today, for these croissants, and for the pre-turkey day sampling. My mom whipped up this dough so it could rise last night, and she showed me what’s up when it comes to making them. Whoa…
Last year my Thanksgiving contribution was to drive a smooshed pumpkin roll six hours to my sister’s house. Not this year though. Because this time tomorrow I’ll be in Minnesota hanging out with my parents. My mom and I will be going over the Thanksgiving dinner menu and Wednesday will consist of cooking and prepping. I decided to channel my excitement for Thursday by making these delicious s’more’eque pound cakes. S’mores are on my mind…
PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. I’m already hungry for Thanksgiving. To be completely honest, I’m already hungry for my next meal very shortly after finishing the current one. So if you’re hungry right now, and feeling a little bit worried about dinner, you should make this. These stuffed shells are a delicious + healthier version of the all cheese stuffed shells. My main adaptation of the recipe was that…
Growing up my mom would make a coffee cake on the weekend regularly, so breakfast is pretty important to me. And since it’s fall, these guys are the perfect Saturday starter. Why not have something amazingly pumpkin as your main course? You’ll be full after these for sure, and I know that you have a can of pumpkin in your fridge left over from making a couple batches of Pumpkin Spice Granola that you need…
I don’t really get guys with thumb rings, or why plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, but I do get why this meal was amazing. I am not one to ever doubt the goodness of black beans and when out, my menu choices are based on whether there are avocados involved. So I knew heading into this meal that it’d be a dream come true. With the chili powder and the hot sauce these burgers…
I really miss the Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan days. I really miss those worn to death purple suede ankle boots I had to throw out at the end of last winter. And I know for sure I’ll miss this bread as soon as it’s gone. Gone are the years of coming home from school to fresh bread topped with melty butter. But at least I can make it at home and eventually I’ll make memories…
Mix up and refrigerate the pie crust. Run to the store and get more butter. Maybe get some heavy whip for vanilla whipped cream. Maybe the sales associates will assume you’re a very unhealthy person. Maybe they think you’re weird for getting giant bacon dog treats along with the fatty goodness. For sure you get home and finish the making home made pie and the joke’s on them. Don’t forget to “cheers!” your first bite.…
I often worry about my next meal. At night, I get nervous if my cereal box is getting low. I sit at work trying to think of what I can make for dinner, and I hope-hope I have something good to make. So, with that said, I took care of a few lunches in advance today. These guys are so cute! They are like quiche-cupcakes. And they are perfect sandwich substitutes for your lunch. Put…
Having a tea party soon? Totally using cups and saucers? I have the prettiest and simplest cookies yet, and they are most definately tea party material. Not to mention, rosemary in a sweet context is pretty dreamy. The original recipe includes the zest of one large lemon rubbed into to the sugar before beginning. I am going to give that a shot next time, but if you don’t have lemons on hand, these guys are…
