Remember how I made those silly hoagie buns? Well, they wanted to hold provolone and meatballs when they grew up. And it happened! This is that dinner date I told you about. You know, the date with some hoagie buns? As soon as I saw this recipe on The Pioneer Woman’s blog, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. And it sure didn’t disappoint. This was my first meatball attempt. Normally Jake makes things like this,…
I have dinner plans with these guys. I’d even call it a date. Rumor has it these are good at holding beef. At least that’s what Betty from Colorado says on the Taste of Home website. Betty just wanted a delicious and convenient way to hold her beef and here it is. You may be yelling at your computer screen right now. You’re probably saying something like. “Megan! Those hoagie buns are supposed to be…
Biscuits topped with honey are my favorite. They’re about as homey as mac and cheese and high school music. So take the fall remix of that love and bake it. You’ll end up with these! I ate two of these with dinner. One as an appetizer because I couldn’t resist waiting, and the other one during the meal. I really wanted to have a third for dessert, but I couldn’t go crazy, right? Even though…
Root beer and chocolate go together like Tegan and Sara and Romy and Michele. Did you know that? It was agreed after tasting, that root beer definitely heightens the chocolate flavor in a twin-sisters-in-a-band way and a BFF kind of way. Here’s the part where my mom stirred the cocoa powder mixture and it bubbled and popped because of the root beer. It was pretty and poppy. Can you believe those bubbles are really real? Instead…
My dad’s birthday was last Thursday. I called him that Friday morning. I’m hoping he considered my “Happy Birthday” fashionably late. (If I could have fit the word “fashionably” on this tart I would have.) I still feel pretty bad, but the truth is my dad’s not even mad. Would a mad dad change the lightbulbs in the kitchen to be bright enough for nighttime photos? Would a mad dad fix the burner on the…
Maybe you should come over for dinner. You could see Elliot and Jake and maybe even the neighbor dog that wears a bandana and occasionally a lime green sweater. I’d probably make this for you because it’s pizza, it’s dreamy, and it’s pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor is subtle in an earthy way. It’s perfect for fall, but I’m not going to be limited by seasons with this dough; I love it too much, and I…
Yesterday, I baked some mini donuts. They turned out teeny, pink, vanilla bean-freckled and chocolate squiggly. They are as tasty as they are cute. I just want to make every sort of baked donut that exists now. I want to top cupcakes and cakes with them. I want to wear one as a pinky ring. I want to put them in my pocket. I want give them hugs. I want to dunk them in tiny…
White chocolate is like a fancy cocktail dress for brownies. So, if you have some around, just sprinkle it on these guys and they’ll feel like hotties. I learned that I can muster brownie patience! After letting these guys cool a bit, I put them in the fridge for maximum chilling. After all that, they sliced like a dream. I cut them in rectangles because that’s what Thomas Keller does with his brownies in Ad…
Some days are just no fun. Some days are filled with achey feet because you wore your new favorite shoes to the grocery store when they should’ve been saved for real goin’ out type things. And then sometimes headphones get dunked in tea on accident when they sure don’t know how to swim. And sometimes when you forget socks to wear during step aerobics, it’s time to stop everything. Just stop everything, and make some…
Jake’s birthday was Friday! These guys, made Saturday, were fashionably late. Wouldn’t you agree that the combo of funfetti with pink frosting just screams birthday? Basically these are a birthday party for your mouth. (In a fun way, not a creepy way.) Rainbow sprinkles are the prettiest. And somehow they get even prettier baked in white cake! This cake is white because there aren’t any egg yolks in it to turn it into yellow cake.…
