I’d like to spend January hibernating and waking up to warm bread. I want grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch every day. Preferably with smashed avocado, mozzarella, and goat cheese. And this bread makes awesome toast. It’s perfectly sweet with honey or maple syrup. For this particular loaf I used a brown sugar and maple syrup combo. So, I hope your weeks are full of warm bread and the best toast. I hope you never run…
Polka dot pants are the new denim. Cowboy boots are the new cold weather necessity. Pink is the new black, and this salad is the new roasted sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. At least in my life. I can’t stop making this! Especially because once you have the ingredients you can salad it up for days. I made this for my parents when they visited. I’ve made this for a friend of mine twice.…
If you ask me what I want for breakfast, I’ll most def say PANCAKES! … unless I say waffles. But most the time, I want pancakes. So much so, that I have a little chalkboard in the kitchen with a basic buttermilk recipe written out for pancaking on the quick! So, why not have a cookie that tastes like that breakfast favorite? Why not stack them and eat 8 at time, snack-style? Basically I’m into maple-y…
Last week I was craving chocolate in a major way. So much so, that I churned up some chocolate coconut milk ice cream after dinner and ate it standing in the kitchen. Since I can’t ever have enough chocolate in my life, I figured I’d triple-chocolate it up biscotti-style. The moral of the story is this: these are a brownie that you can dunk in your coffee. And goodness knows, there is nothing wrong with…
My mom brought me this tray at Christmas and I think it might be my new favorite. It looks like a dreamy Valentine! And it makes these muffins feel really good about themselves too. I can tell they’re super confident in their red outfits, with their powdered sugar sprinkles. And these are so much more than just a brown muffin. They’ve got style, they’ve got class, they’ve got beer. And they’re tasty! I put some…
Puff Daddy might say that it’s all about the Benjamins, but I happen to know that it is, in fact, all about the garnish. It’s quite the accessory for this chili, don’t you think? It’s the polka dot tights to best party dress. P.S. I might’ve gotten three bottles of Cholula hot sauce for Christmas. I’m crazy about the stuff! Now you know. Condiments! This chili has me swooning. It’s Valentine worthy. It’s so flavorful!…

I’ve daydreamed about ruffly crepe cakes for years! So, I figured it was time to finally do it! I was lucky enough to have my parents in town, so my mom and I stood around the kitchen flipping crepes for awhile before dinner. I showed her how I swirl the batter, she showed me how dance around with a spatula. My birthday morning was a brunch party! My parents, brother, and I enjoyed skrovaires (Romanian…
I hope you all had the best Christmas! I baked those cupcakes up there for my BFF’s Friendsmas party. I topped the hell out of them with some of the deer and tree toppers that I’m crazy about. (Keep your eye out for them again super soon, birthday cake style.) This year I borrowed a fun 60’s aluminum tree from a friend of mine who knows what’s up. I think I should maybe keep it…
To me, Christmas should be a two-meal day. GIANT breakfast served with mimosas. Cheese, crackers, and charcuterie for snacking all day. … with more champagne, of course. And then a BIG dinner. So, let’s do this, waffle-style. You see, these waffles look pretty festive, yet they’re simple! So let’s impress our Christmas guests brunch-style. Hope your holiday is everything you want it to be. Full of puppy kisses, twinkly lights, and waffles. Lemon Poppy Seed…
