The other day, while eating on the patio of a local brewery, I glanced over and saw a truck drive by with two shiba inu pups looking out at me; one white one and one tan one. I felt so lucky to get to see those cute little guys! I’m so glad I looked! I also feel lucky to live in a world where peaches exist. They’re just really pretty, and so tasty. And they…
I’m sharing the recipe for these Roasted Peach Sliders over on, my girl, Hungry Girl Por Vida’s blog today! She’s out of town and I feel so honored to be hanging out over on her blog today. Click HERE for the full post and recipe. I know it’s Tuesday, but I hope your weekend was glorious!
I can’t stop thinking about these peaches! I might have to make them for my parents when they visit. I think everyone would love them! I made these for a special summer issue of Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted simple but classy dishes to show off local produce. We did our best to make all of the fruity goodness look like major hotties. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Check back for…
Jake makes dinner most nights during the week. Mondays are my night. Generally, on my night, I’d rather nap and then go out for pizza. I’d rather sit in a tall booth with Third Eye Blind playing. This last week I felt super motivated somehow! I made Tracy’s Vietnamese Noodle Salad (but with peanut-crusted chicken instead of tofu). I went to the grocery store on my lunch break and then again after work because I’m a…
It’s just not right to turn on the oven when it’s 90° out, and therefore 90° in my flat. I pushed through two oven-heating sides for our BBQ feast Monday; there was no way I was going to be able to make/eat the warm peach goodness I had in mind. But don’t worry, you guys! This is chilly granita tastes just like peach pie! You should probably make this next time you’re craving pie or…
My mom knows about pie. She knows that it’s ok to use 8 cups of peaches instead of 5, and she didn’t judge me for not having a pastry blender. She also said that it’s ok if a pie is juicy and doesn’t slice as pretty as you’d hope. “Just serve it in a bowl,” she says. So there you go. We went to Eastern Market Saturday morning to get all those Michigan peaches up…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
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…
I wanted to call this the Brokea$$ Basic B#%$ Burrito. But Basic B. will work. (Bean is it’s middle name.) I told my bf about this and was like, “I might post it, but it’s so silly-easy.” He said it’s not basic, and sounds good. And I think he knows a thing or a million, so here you go. You see, after I had food poisoning a bit ago, all I wanted to eat was…
I went to Portland! And man-0-man, did I love it. I arrived and got a bloody mary for dinner with peach pie and chicken pie for dessert. (I realize now that that sounds totally wack, but I was so hungry from flying next to a couple that was giving each other massages and then the dude asked if his lady was ok when she sneezed… I was straight-line eyes and mouth emoji about it. She…
