I brought this cake two and a half hours away to be the post-bbq dessert on Memorial Day. All of the mushrooms survived the trip. I thought that was nice of them. I’ve been wanting a reason to make meringue mushrooms ever since I knew they existed. This woodgrain cake gave me the motivation to finally do it! Would you care to have this piece? I’d totally share if Jake and I hadn’t finished the…
Sometimes it gets so hot that ice cream is required to live. Elliot’s the same way, but ice cream of the doggie variety. I’ve realized that what I require are granitas. I used half of a vanilla bean in the whipped cream. I figured whipped cream should have more freckles in the summer, since I do. What do you think of the color? I’m infatuated. I want to hug every raspberry I see based on the color…
When you make this banana bread, just consider the oven a banana tanning bed. In a mere 15 minutes they have bronze beach bodies … and on top of all that, the fruit turns into a caramelized dream. I fell in love with roasted bananas back when I made Roasted Banana Cupcakes. So I decided to take my mom’s classic banana bread and roast the bananas. Then I added a bit of cinnamon. The next thing…
These are speedy because they took about 30 minutes start to finish; they are rustic because I’m incapable of rolling dough into a perfect circle and I’m much better at rustic shapes that resemble VW beetles. Some of the other tortillas were shaped like monsters, clouds and spongebob squarepants. Jake cooked up some panko crusted chicken and made a delicious salad for inside these guys. The salad was: cucumbers, grape tomatoes, dill, oregano, goat cheese…
I know that I’m not very good at washing dishes. I know that I always want crêpes for dinner. I know that I don’t like construction people making a racket at 7:00am. And I REALLY know that Mondays are better with cake. This cake is zesty and bright. Basically this cake will punch you in the face with dreamy and fresh lemony flavors. You might want to split a piece with your total BFF. You might…
I bought the good corn meal this week, and right on the front of the bag was a recipe for my dream pancake. I might’ve been tempted to make these for dinner throughout the week, but I held out until this morning, and I’m going to be honest when I say that I ate these as I made them (I couldn’t resist!) … the ones on the party plate were reserved for Jake. Last Sunday…
Breakfast is really important to me. It’s right up there with black coffee and dessert. So I guess it goes to show that when there’s chocolate involved in a muffin, I’ll be down. Down all the way. These guys have skills. They will make your early morning feel not so early and they’ll make your late morning feel less lazy. So needless to say, you should make these. And they’re so cute you might want…
So what if I napped while these were on the rise. So what if when they were done, I drizzled one with honey and ate it as my fake dinner. So what? So what if I can’t wait to make mini these for mini burgers; mini burgers are the cupcake of burgers, really. Basically these are the dreamiest burger buns ever. You should probably make them right now and make burgers for dinner. Despite my…
Attention RSS subscribers! Please resubscribe! My site moved from one host to another this weekend and I’d hate for you to miss out on new posts. So, please resubscribe. I’d really miss you. Ok. On to muffins. I’ve learned a few things this weekend besides the fact that that you guys should totally resubscribe to my blog because of my host change. One being, when the bottom of a recipe from my mom says “makes oodles…
So I guess I’m the type of girl who will get up at 7 am solely to make whipped cream to top a pie to eat for breakfast. That’s just what needs to happens when a pie is assembled 10:30 pm, but it has to chill in the fridge for a couple hours before slices can be pretty. I guess I’m the type of girl who gets bullied by pie crust sometimes and learns the…
