Yesterday I made pumpkin blondies and they kinda never seemed cooked. They are moosh squoosh, but still kinda good somehow because of the whole chemistry between pumpkin and chocolate. They were disappointing though based on the whole squishy thing. Last summer I made blondie cupcakes. They were hollow somehow. Hollow. I don’t know how they did it, but they were weird and I’m still kinda mad at them. Blondies and I are through for now. We…
There was coffee on my nightstand when I woke up, this morning, and there was a cinnamon roll in my belly shortly after. There were snow flurries in Minnesota, and there were flour flurries in the kitchen. I’m thankful for today, for these croissants, and for the pre-turkey day sampling. My mom whipped up this dough so it could rise last night, and she showed me what’s up when it comes to making them. Whoa…
PLEASE NOTE: I’ve remade/photographed these since. For the updated post click HERE. I’m already hungry for Thanksgiving. To be completely honest, I’m already hungry for my next meal very shortly after finishing the current one. So if you’re hungry right now, and feeling a little bit worried about dinner, you should make this. These stuffed shells are a delicious + healthier version of the all cheese stuffed shells. My main adaptation of the recipe was that…
I don’t really get guys with thumb rings, or why plucking my eyebrows makes me sneeze, but I do get why this meal was amazing. I am not one to ever doubt the goodness of black beans and when out, my menu choices are based on whether there are avocados involved. So I knew heading into this meal that it’d be a dream come true. With the chili powder and the hot sauce these burgers…
I really miss the Freaky Friday, Lindsay Lohan days. I really miss those worn to death purple suede ankle boots I had to throw out at the end of last winter. And I know for sure I’ll miss this bread as soon as it’s gone. Gone are the years of coming home from school to fresh bread topped with melty butter. But at least I can make it at home and eventually I’ll make memories…
I often worry about my next meal. At night, I get nervous if my cereal box is getting low. I sit at work trying to think of what I can make for dinner, and I hope-hope I have something good to make. So, with that said, I took care of a few lunches in advance today. These guys are so cute! They are like quiche-cupcakes. And they are perfect sandwich substitutes for your lunch. Put…
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…
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…
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…
There are a couple things that I’m spoiled about. Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam Cornmeal Taco Shells for taco night I really don’t like to buy strawberry jam ever. Growing up we had a never ending amount in the freezer. When I moved out there was a moment when I ran out of my strawberry jam and bought some… big mistake. So now I make it too. Another thing is these taco shells. Whenever we had…
