I’m itching for a change. Part of it might be the winter blues. You see, I think I’m having bike ride withdrawal. I need patio beers, and grilled dinners. I’d like to walk to get ice cream, and wear maxi dresses, and be more freckled. But for now, I’ll brownie. Because there’s something therapeutic about chopping chocolate, and something even better about eating chocolate. And while these baked my kitchen was cozy warm and smelled…
Last night a waiter refilled my beer with water. I take these things kinda seriously. I think I high-voiced him, “But that’s my beer!” It shocked me! These cookies, on the other hand, are a pleasant surprise. Because can you believe it’s possible to cream softened coconut oil and sugar together? And that it can make dough that’s as pretty as ice cream? Believe it, sister. So here’s the thing. These cookies are so soft! They…
My flat smells like toast, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I go to bed at night dreaming of popping this swirly twirly dream in the toaster. I savor the hell out of every bite. It’s basically the toast version of these Orange Rolls, so I’m kinda obsessed. And I’m pretty excited about the fact that I have an entire spare loaf in my freezer! Toast forever! Also, do me a favor and don’t…
When it comes to the weekend I require big breakfasts, naps galore, and freshly baked cookies. So to ensure the cookie part of my weekend, I whipped up this dough Friday after work and popped it in the fridge for casual Saturday baking. Feel free to do the same to bake at your leisure! And these cookies are by far one of my very favorites. There is plenty of ground oatmeal in each bite, giving them…
Oh man, this is a sandwich in a mac & cheese outfit. These little nuggets taste exactly like a monte cristo! I mean, it’s totally a pasta miracle. And if you guys don’t want to fry this up, it’s ok! I know it’s early-ish on in the year and we’re trying to be health-concious. So, if you don’t want to fry it, then don’t bother. Bake it up and enjoy straight away, but just know…
Sunday was the 5th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party! It just might’ve been my favorite year yet. A record number of champagne was consumed, and people stayed later than ever! I wanted to switch up the decorations this year, so I made this big fringe garland! And it ended up so pretty! I might want to leave it up for my whole life. For the savory goodness I made Focaccia Cakes with Spinach Dip filling, Avocado Deviled…
I made really delicious bread over the weekend, and the first slice was a major hottie! But, you guys there was a cave in there! A bread crevice that leads to a carb-version of Narnia, no doubt. That bread will be in your future and mine though again. Keep your little eyes peeled! These cookies aren’t bread. They are, instead, a black and white cookie remixed to be all LOVEly. I’m super into them. I…
This weekend was a success! I hit up the bloody mary bar at Social Kitchen with Cindy and Nicole. I almost knocked over a giant jug of tomato juice, and then dropped my snack skewer on the ground (and still ate it). I don’t know what it is about going out in public that immediately turns me into Steve Urkel. This lady brunch adventure was just what I needed! You see, I’ve been needing some…
I guess there’s some big sports thing this weekend! Let’s eat snacks! 1 Cheesy Quinoa Cakes with Guacamole and Goat Cheese // Healthy-ish! 2 Spinach Dip Bites // One bite miracle. 3 Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwich // Waffles = bread. 4 Soft Pretzels // Dunk them in Cindy’s queso! 5 Avocado Fries // I want these daily. 6 Zesty Mac and Cheese // FAVORITE.
French toast always reminds me of two things. 1. That girl in The 40-Year Old Virgin who really wanted Fraaaaaaanch toast while driving recklessly. 2. The part in Better Off Dead where the mom, who was an awful cook, made all “French” foods* for the foreign exchange student/hottie. I need to watch more 80’s movies with John Cusak in them. And I need to make these cookies again immediately. Oui oui! *French bread. French Toast.…
