Sometimes you have to splurge. You need to get those boots for autumn’s sake. You really should get the $8 drink at happy hour, and you most definitely should get $10 cheese if you plan on making these homemade flour tortillas to be filled with a salad* for your lunch. Jake made the best salad. He’s the savory to my sweet. Make a breakfast burrito! Make a salad wrap! Make fajitas! Make up a reason!…
Last night when I got home from work I found that my internet and cable had left on a vacation! They didn’t even leave a note, but instead just took off like the free spirits they are. So I gathered up my Sex & the City dvds, one stick of butter and my dinosaur sprinkles to make these cupcakes for the holiday known as Friday. AND my mom gave me some pretty polka dotted cupcake…
I’ve been napping after work. …And there is a moment after I wake up that I have to decide to get up and do something or I’ll end up napping and doing nothing until it’s too late to do anything. Last night I woke up and made myself get up and be productive by making this English Muffin Bread! This bread isn’t the kind you have to set aside a whole Saturday for all the…
Every fall, the trees along the sidewalk place the prettiest of their leaves in my path for me to find! Sometimes I put them in my pocket and bring them home. It’d be rude not to! They were gifts after all…but it’s not fall yet is it? It’s August! …but today feels like fall, and to be honest, I’m having a hard time embracing it. But this recipe (and maybe a new pair of boots)…
Someday when I grow up, I would like the the following things for Elliot: Big windows Elliot can see out of without having to stand on the back of the couch A fenced in yard so Elliot can independently and leisurely nap outside And of course, a dog bone cookie cutter, not that he minds the stars and hearts Whenever I bake something, Elliot will patiently nap beneath the table that holds cooling baked goodness.…
Shnozberries taste like shnozberries and this coffeecake right there looks like pac-man. Most importantly it tastes delicious, and sometimes coffee cake can be dessert with a grilled dinner. Good thing it’s summer because these blueberries are Michigan’s finest, and they needed to be used promptly or they would’ve ruined everything by giving up on life. So make this! For dessert! For breakfast! For guests! For fun! For the sake of all blueberries in the world that…
I love pizza and I love corn bread. So here you go. A delicious marriage of those two amazing things. We ate these outside. So many good things at once. Too much of a good thing? Impossible. Could I eat this one or five times a week? Hell yes. Did you know that I also love individualized foods? It’s true. I do! That’s the link between my love for cupcakes and my love for these…
Mom’s just know things. Like the following: Peaches ripen quicker if put in a brown paper bag. This is good to know when you buy peaches the day before making peach crumble so they’d be freshest, but they’re not super ripe yet. If you’re making the sauce for on the ribs for dinner and you feel the need to thicken it with corn starch, you should take a measuring cup and remove some of the…
Don’t be fooled by the poppy seeds these scones got, they’re still orange from the block. They’re not better than you. They’re not pretentious. They are just simply orange and deliciously refreshing. I happen to love orange! …orange flavored pasteries that is. Not when people say I have orange hair. My hair is red. Thank you very much. This is a remix of the chocolate chip scones I made last week. It just goes to…
