PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. These brownies are like the essential boot for fall. They are like the perfect jacket, that just so happens to have birds on the lining. They are like the comfy ankle boot. Pumpkin + Chocolate. Who knew? I had my doubts. But after I made pumpkin cookies a bit ago, and now after these guys … I’m sold. Pumpkin and chocolate are meant to…
Don’t bother asking for a bite of my meal. Really, don’t bother. Especially when I’m eating a meal as delicious as this. It’s just not going to happen. I can’t wait to make this again on a freezing cold day. I’ll eat it in my frumpy fleece and yoga pants, and not even care. This beef stew is amazing. Jake and I both wanted to lick the bowls, and both agreed that the flavorful thick…
Maybe I’ve been spending a bit too much time dancing in my car to the new Tegan and Sara. Maybe it’s weird that I practice songs for karaoke when I have no plans of ever really singing one alone. Maybe I did sing “All I Want for Christmas is You” last year…in a group. Maybe the rumor is that we sounded like Kidz Bop. Maybe I had pizza for lunch and totally disguised my pizza-champ-eating-skills…
I am really loving fall. My three top reasons are the following: 1. Anything pumpkin 2. Boots of all varieties 3. Anything that contains both apples and a crumble topping They are REALLY good. I recommend making them promptly. And, don’t worry, they’ll be done before Mad Men. These are so good that even the most prim and proper lady is likely to curse aloud exclaiming the goodness of these for all to hear! Apple…

My pita bread has a mind of its own. It decided to bubble up all over the place and not just in the center. Next time I’m hoping they get the perfect pocket. I guess this time they are just trying out a new style. They want to be pita bread with a million cargo pockets. Who I am I to judge some fashion forward pita bread? Despite the lack of perfectly centered pockets, these…
I’m sick of sandwiches. I had them for lunch and dinner pretty much all week. I’m never sick of apple pie. I am pretty happy that tonight Jacob made a huge dinner instead of my lazy sandwiches. I decided to make these pocket pies for dessert. They turned out delicious and perfect one person portions. I baked two out of the eight pies this recipe made and froze the rest so that at any time…
PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. My first favorite thing about these muffins is how the raspberries turn the icing pink and my second favorite thing is the way the raspberries are a surprise when you bite into these. The deliciousness is understood. These are pretty much cupcakes, that I’ve decided to call a muffins for breakfast’s sake. They seem like the kind of breakfast cake that should be served…
You look kinda hungry. I think you need a snack. Perhaps you should eat some graham crackers dunked in milk. Yeah, you most definitely should. These guys stand up to milk like champs. You can dunk them to your hearts content without getting stressed out that they’ll break. Who knew these were possible? This recipe makes approximately 36 (2 1/2 inch) squares of honey graham goodness. Graham Crackers Recipe from The Fannie Farmer Baking Book…
One of my most favorite things in the entire world is the end piece of this bread right out of the oven. I’m far too impatient to wait long for it to cool. Another one of my favorite things is the smell of baking bread…and polka dots, of course. Bread is like cake to me. It tastes decadent with strawberry jam and some melted butter on top. My uncle suggests sprinkling it with brown sugar…
