Running out of maple syrup causes immediate pancake cravings. Fact. I used up my last two tablespoons of maple syrup on those pancake muffins. So of course I was super hungry for straight-up pancake-love immediately. Jake bought more syrup last night under the condition that I make pancakes this morning. He didn’t have to ask me twice. Although, I was a little worried since I work at 9am and I had to wash my hair……
I love Nutella. So I’m really glad it has it’s own day. I’m thinking about asking it to be my Valentine this year. Cross your fingers for me! I also love pancakes, and so I’ve been daydreaming about these muffins for weeks. They are especially good topped with Nutella. Or, top them with a Nutella AND a banana slice and get out of town, for real. These are mini, so you can eat them like…
Let’s drink hot chocolate together, ok? Let’s drink it while looking out the window at my car that’s stuck in a snow pile. Let’s drink it while watching Jake make BLTs for lunch. And let’s sip it while Elliot snores under his penguin blanket. Let’s drink it while sweeping the floor clean of sprinkles, and between loads of laundry, and while listening to The Clash. Mostly, let’s just drink hot chocolate on a snow day…
Owl you need is love. Who whooooo would you rather have as your Valentine? Owl always love you! Owl always think you’re a major hottie. Hootie hoo. These cookies could be given as Valentines. You could attach notes that say things like those ones up there. Owl bet everyone would really love it. Especially the one where you tell them they’re a major hottie. Did you know that coconut turns into owl feathers in the cookie…
Once, I bought some round sunglasses with the hopes of looking hip like Lady Gaga, but I looked more like a nerdy beatle fan. They broke when I was walking Elliot and talking on the phone with my sister. I’ll only buy sunglasses from Target from now on. All I’m saying is that if you hold these donuts in front of your eyes, you’ll probably look way cooler than I did in those sunglasses. Chocolate…
These cupcakes are a party. They are a little bit out of control and a lot pink. They taste like a birthday miracle. I made these for a lovely lady I work with. You see, she loves the color pink, gummy bears and candy of all sorts. I figured I’d do it up. These are super girly, but I have proof that boys can appreciate these too. Their tastiness outweighs their girliness, I guess. By…
This is my second time making these scones since Thursday. I think I have a problem. And that’s not the only problem I have. Turns out that I like to eat these despite having just eaten breakfast or lunch. Just know that these are nap-inducing if eaten when full. I know from experience. It’s just that I have a weakness for scones that are freckled with super dark chocolate and taste heavenly. Girl can’t help…
Chocolate love. Remember how I think it’s the most fun when food is incorporated into my job? This is the latest example. This whole story makes me want to go sledding. And then drink hot chocolate a little too fast. What about you?

Today I had that hot fudge sundae for lunch. I’ve been sick since Thursday. But I know I’m finally getting better because I did all the dishes, took pictures of ice cream, and then ate it for lunch. And this ice cream is super creamy and tasty. Jake and I made sure of it by sampling it right out of the ice cream maker. So just make it! And then top it with hot fudge…
It’s really snowy here in the mitten. I know it’s really snowy because it’s really high up on Elliot’s little legs. He’s not a fan of it at the moment, despite his fur coat. It’s so snowy that I switched my shoes from flats to boots on my lunch break. I had no choice! Nobody wants to snow in their shoes. So, it only makes sense to switch up my usual cold cereal for some…
