The only time I look tan is when I get cocoa powder all over my arms. I looked pretty tan this morning, just saying. I made marshmallows before. Those guys were lighter and fluffier and more delicate, due to the egg whites involved. These ones are super rich and chocolaty. They are sturdier and would probably stay on a skewer if you wanted to serve them that way. I think it’d look cute, for real.…
Sometimes all I want to talk about is ice cream and puppies. Sometimes all I think about is dessert, and sometimes I fall in love with a blog (like sprinklebakes) and can’t stop thinking about techniques. Next thing you know, I’m making strawberry shortcake sushi. It’s my brother’s birthday. And since my mom’s in town he wanted us to make brunch (I mean lunch) for him. My mom made sandwich-rolls aka rearranged cheeseburgers and potato…
I’ve been trying to be more like Fergie lately. You know, the whole “up in the gym, just workin’ on my fitness” thing. So when I wanted waffles for Sunday breakfast, I figured I’d look for one packed with oats and protein and all that good stuff. And on top of all that, the brown sugar makes you totally doubt the need for syrup. So there you go! These waffles are healthy, but don’t hold…
Why did I make these last night with my eye-brows down and my forehead wrinkled? Because these guys cure worries. Worried about your car at the shop? Take a bite of one of these. Worried because your house is a disaster-mess? Chomp chomp. Feeling a little weird, in general? Eat two. Whew. I feel way better, do you? These are probably called half-way cookies because they are half-way between heaven and a dream. These cookies…
Sesame seeds are just the bread sprinkles. Semolina is the flour power. Lunetta is the swirly “S” shape. This dough was the prettiest bread dough I’ve ever met! Chances are, if you saw this dough on the street, you would roll down the window and be all daaaaaang gurl at it. I totally would. Oh, and the end result is tasty, just like my friend Alex promised! You see, when I wasn’t sure what kind of…
I like minis. For example: my skirt could probably be considered a mini today, since it’s a shortie and my Elliot is just a little guy (14 lbs) and I order big beers at sushi restaurants because they are served in mini glasses and I always opt for mini burgers over full-size. These cupcakes just reinforce the mini-love. What do you like best? Regular-sized cupcakes or the perfect 2-biter? I also really like cookie dough…
Jake’s a really good cook. Did you guys know that? He even makes dinner three out of the four nights that he’s not working. It’s pretty nice of him. That up there is what he made Tuesday. It’s an Oklahoma chopped pork sandwich topped with a vinegar based coleslaw. I made the Denver Biscuits, but the rest of it was all Jake. That meat was pretty much a full day of work too. It smokes…
You know what? You guys are the best. Have I told you that lately? Just know it. And thanks for stopping by and taking a sip of this lemonade. You know what else? I made a double recipe of this goodness because I wanted the only pitcher I own (that I love and never have a chance to use) to be full to the brim. P.S. The doubled recipe is below. Feel free to cut…
I’m wearing tennis shoes with my pajama dress right now. It has to do with me trying to kill a bug and instead having it fall somewhere shadowy and full of hiding spots and now I feel like it’s everywhere. I’ve failed at bug killing twice in the last week! It’s summer, don’t these bugs want to be outside? And once, Elliot licked a bug when I was hoping he’d take care of it for…
I really need to quit using my skirt as an apron. At least when I made this stuff I remembered to wear a black skirt instead of that gray one. Mashing these berries can be splashy. Just make sure you don’t wear white, ok? I love freezer jam. It comes together quickly and lasts through the snow. I can’t wait to top crepes with this stuff, fill muffins with it and eat it on toast.…
