I’m getting excited about spring. I want to be surrounded by warm green instead of cold white; I want fresh vegetables and spices in my life and in my soup. I had my friend Katie over for dinner this weekend and I was excited to give this recipe a try… Mainly because last week I discovered that “blinis” exist. And who wouldn’t want a mini savory pancake? This soup and pancake combo is pretty, luxurious…
If brioche was your date you’d better show up at it’s house with flowers. You’d totally have to open the door for it always, and it would probably go to the bathroom when the bill arrived to make it clear you are the one to pay. This dough is a bit high maintenance; definitely more of a weekend bread. I had a date on Friday with some brioche dough. Yeah, yeah. The top got too…
Please Note: I’ve made these again! Click HERE for the new post. I always want to put an “e” at the end of spinach. I don’t know why. I’ve never made savory muffins before. I don’t know why. But I do know why I love these guys. Spinach + cheese = win win. I made these to go with delicious Broccoli + Arugula Soup, that Joy the Baker posted a couple days ago. They were both delicious and went…
Did you know that chives are just baby green onions? Know it. You’ll be ready when the “Baby Vegetable” category pops up on Jeopardy. I had to sprinkle these guys with pepper after they were done, instead of pre-baking. You see, I broke the pepper mill and pepper was everywhere, but on the quiche. Jake went out and got some though, and there was plenty of pepper involved pre-eating. These guys are cute, pretty and delicious.…
There is love in the world. Real, sincere “all I need is love” love. And that’s why I love Valentine’s Day best, and it’s why I made these cinnamon rolls in heart shaped cake pans and it’s why I will proudly wear my new heart shaped sunglasses [Thanks Jacob!]. And it’s probably got something to do with the 3 teeny hearts on the inside of my wrist. There’s no big meaning to that tattoo, but…
I wrote you guys a little poem. Ahem. Roses are red, Violets are blue, I made these Valentines, Just for you! … and you. … and you back there. {I see that twinkly finger wave. Oh, I’m wavin’ back.} So thanks for stopping by and gettin’ lovey with it. I’m glad you’re here, and so is that hippo couple up there.
I have a bad habit of leaving cupboard doors open as I get things for what I’m making. I promptly bang my head on them as soon as possible after opening them. Not cool. I have to stop that. It was a habit of mine as a kid to sneak spoonfuls of cookie dough out of the fridge. The batter bowl was constantly full of chocolate chip cookie dough just begging for me to sample…
Yesterday I spent $7 on cara cara oranges to kick the sniffles that I got Friday out of my system. The rest of the day consisted of eating those oranges, watching the Law & Order man-athon and making this mac and cheese. I’d say it was a pretty good day. I accomplished things. But really though, how was your weekend? Are you the kind of person who gets excited about the super bowl or the…
These cupcakes are a honey graham delight, topped with chocolate ganache and then twirly swirled with marshmallow frosting. They’re so downright fantastic they’re wrong. But if these cupcakes are wrong, I don’t want to be right. These cupcakes are a bit messy, but Jake says it’s how they are supposed to be since real s’mores are messy. And Jake knows a thing or two about snacks and s’mores. The original recipes makes 24 regular cupcakes.…
Your coffee is really lonely. It needs a friend in the form of this delicious biscotti. So make this and dunk it, already! This biscotti is a crunchy chocolate dream, and your coffee will thank you! These were described as tasting like cocoa puffs. So if you love cocoa puffs, there you go! If you hate cocoa puffs, it tastes nothing like them. Not a bit. It just tastes like cocoa in the best most…
