This is an exciting week! You see on Thursday evening I’m heading to San Francisco with two of my favorite people to see my BFF Katie and her husband Mark. I even get to meet Billy! I can’t even wait. So anyhow, my friend and her boo are going to stay at my place with Elliotto, soo I made this ice cream for them! You see, Kathy appreciates how solid of a snack graham crackers…
If I had a nickel for how every time I put a heart in a post, I’d have many nickels. I might be equally nickel-rich if applied to frozen chocolate. What can I say? I love love AND chocolate. Truth. This is that kind of chocolate ice cream that makes you swear there’s coffee in it, but there’s not. It’s also creamy and dreamy and filled with Oreos… I mean Joe-Joe’s. I’m the type of…
I’ve made this a bunch, you guys! I love it so very much. I like it with cider or coffee for breakfast and with soup for dinner, or even as a late night snack with honey butter. Sometimes I eat all the cornbread. Sometimes I ask Elliot if he can tell that I ate an embarrassing amount. He always says I still look fly. I’m thinking he’s being a bit too nice, but I love…
Sometimes my horoscope sounds like a card in Monopoly. It’s all “Your plumbing might have problems. Get an estimate!” Other times, Susan Miller is all, “October is HARD. Mid-November your life will begin to sparkle again.” I’m pushing my way through these early fall months with ice cream. My days can sparkle a little bit here and there based on bites of this stuff, ya know? And I’ve been wearing my frumpy fleece and walking…
I mean, I like banana bread, and I like pumpkin bread… Why not make bananunkin bread or pumkana bread? Yeah… these are the thoughts I think on the regular. I took this out of the oven. I let it cool for barely 5 minutes before I sliced it ever so carefully and ate two warm, butter slathered slices in a row. I could’ve eaten more, but I mean, I’ve got to keep it under control.…
This ice cream happened because of a text, my girl, JD sent me from New York that said, “I’m eating cider mill donut frozen yogurt.” I knew immediately that I had to churn up some donut dreams. And basically nothing says double trouble more than cinnamon sugar donut ice cream served with cinnamon sugar donuts. It’s just true. And nutmeg is totally the trick for turning this ice cream into a cider mill miracle. I…
I call Elliot PUPernickel. I mean, why wouldn’t I? Feel free to use that on your own little dog friend. It’s a solid joke, ya know? Like how every dog’s favorite pizza topping is PUPperoni. I mean, it’s just natural. Or how in the summer they eat PUPsicles. I could go on all day. When researching this lovely bread, I discovered that it gets it’s dark color through cocoa powder and molasses! Those two together…
Sometimes it’s cool to take a minute and just think about some good things, ya know? Like baking big cookies, wrapping your little pup in a blanket (Is he yawning because he’s bored with fall already?), dunking waffles, new gold-toe ankle boots, swirly twirly heart straws, new enamel spoons, pretty flowers from the farmer’s market, cheers-ing drinks, and livin’ life. Sometimes when all the things are up in the air, and it’s almost panic o’clock,…
I’m so lucky! My mom and sister, Laura, came to visit for the weekend. We went out for churros, strolled through Eastern Market and bought bouquets of flowers, and went out for sliders. My mom and I mixed up whoopie pie filling and fluffy pancake batter. My sister and I sipped Euro-beers and well, I’m just glad that I had these lovely ladies visiting this weekend. Sometimes you just need to be around people who…
Let’s toast to fall, ya know? We can’t change that summer broke up with us so we may as well embrace the future! Check out my post right here for recipes and tips! P.S. I need more boozy cider, ASAP.
