First of all, please don’t judge me for eating french fries two days in a row. And, please just know that two glazes are better than one. Always. So maybe two days of french fries is better than one? We are a few days into September, so it’s only right to get moving with the pumpkin love. And these scones are the perfect start. They are mini, so you can eat them two days in…
Putting a sandwich on these guys is like having a sandwich on a corn muffin. Honestly, I can’t imagine anything better. I’m excited to make these the next time Jake makes pulled pork … ribs or briskit. Basically, these would accompany BBQ-ed goodness in a dreamy way. But for now peanut butter and strawberry jam will do. Oh yeah! It’s September! So I guess instead of BBQ-ing we should be thinking about beef stew and…
I’m completely impatient right now. I can’t sit still. It has a little bit to do with throw pillows and shaggy rugs. It has a lot to do with with the fact that I get to move to a cute flat in a couple weeks. But for now, it’s time to drink this smoothie and try to stop wishing the days away. Banana + Honey + Cinnamon Smoothie for One Ingredients: 1 frozen banana* +…
I’m really full because I ate those pancakes right there. I put strawberry jam on them because my maple syrup stopped being cool and just started being real. Real gross. If you’re in the mood for a summery sweet pancake, this is the one for you. And do you know that there’s almond extract in these guys? It makes the strawberries sing. I can hear them now. They’re singing Lady Gaga. Now you know. Strawberry…
Gravel roads remind me of graham cracker crumbs. My childhood best friend called her grandma “grammy” and it reminded me of graham crackers. Once I ate a store-bought graham cracker crust standing in my mom’s pantry… and loved it. I’ve always loved graham crackers so I knew I’d love this recipe since it has way more graham cracker crumbs in the ingredients than anything else. Side-note: one of the eggs I used had freckles. This…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them and…
Ingredients for a good weekend: spinach and bleu cheese pizza + pepperoni pizza + chit chatting Franziskaner drinking (It tastes like ice cream to me!) summer walks strawberry pancakes (I’m going to make these again soon to post!) black bean burgers on light brioche burger buns + avocado fries Lost in Translation watching root beer floats casual lounging, like Elliot up there. He’s really good at it. Mad Men How was your weekend? I hope…
Elliot is a puppy-sized big dog. These are the cupcake of pie. These were birthday galettes. And since they were a gift, I had to try them to be sure they were good before I gave them away, right? I also had to eat one when I got home from giving them away to be REALLY sure before bed, right? I know something’s good when I have to “make sure” by lots of sampling. Now…
Strawberry shortcake is one of my most favorite desserts. So when I stumbled across Dorie Greenspan’s devilish shortcakes, I knew they had to happen … and soon! A chocolate shortcake? Can you even think of anything better? Jake’s job, when I bake, is to read me the recipe. He’s really good at it and it’s just so darn nice of him. When he cooks, he doesn’t let me read the recipes to him. It’s because…
I’m looking forward to moving, because I know for a fact that there will natural light promised in the lease. I also can’t wait to have a yard that doesn’t back up to mean growly dogs that want to eat Elliot. When I envision my future home, I imagine white walls, a white oven and windows Elliot can see out of without standing on the back of the couch … and preferably a huge tupperware…
