Vegan Zucchini Muffins

The thing is, I feel like I styled these muffins like Christmas. And I made these because I was craving this cake and because I had half of a vegan apple loaf guy for breakfast and sometimes a girl just needs a muffin. And my favorite muffin liners are parchment squares, my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my least favorite holiday is Christmas, and I think I want to listen to this song on repeat,…

Peach Pie Popsicles

The other day, while eating on the patio of a local brewery, I glanced over and saw a truck drive by with two shiba inu pups looking out at me; one white one and one tan one. I felt so lucky to get to see those cute little guys! I’m so glad I looked! I also feel lucky to live in a world where peaches exist. They’re just really pretty, and so tasty. And they…

Funfetti Shortbread

I’m living in the past. Since my computer died I’ve been listening to c.d.s on my old boom box. The skipping that keeps happening because of my scratch-y car floor c.d.s doesn’t make me miss Spotify a bit… So while I’m getting jiggy with the past, I figured why not go the funfetti route. I mean, nothing screams childhood more than rainbow sprinkles, right? AND since it’s getting close to St. Patrick’s day, rainbows should…

Funfetti Cookies

Once, my sister Laura and I threw a Halloween Party with the booziest sangria. We baked patriotic funfetti cupcakes in christmas liners. We assembled the worst bean dip, and had the most fun. And you see, these cookies are an edible party. They taste as good as a party is fun! Skills! These are just as easy as those patriotic cupcakes we made at Halloween with no regard. And I bet you have the ingredients in your pantry!…

Almond Mini Donuts + Cherry Glaze

Because when I was seven I picked pink earrings over my birth stone. Because pink foods are always a party. Because cherries are the sole reason these are pink. Because when things are mini you can eat fifteen. Because I love you. These guys are almond-y where the donuts are concerned and tartly cherry where the pink glaze is concerned. But don’t be concerned, these will make your heart smile. Disclaimer: I blame the fact that…

Shortbread Elephants

These are so much more than elephants in silly outfits. They are elephants that taste like shortbread and are wearing Christmas colors. …well, my idea of a Christmas colors remix. I’m thinking these will be cozy tucked in a cookie box with these cookies and these ones and maybe some sort of lollipop, and maybe even fudge! What are you guys baking this year? Tell me everything. Shortbread Sugar Cookies {makes about 2 dozen cookies}…

Fried Goat Cheese and Strawberry Salad

I need to get it together. The other day I got on the treadmill at the gym with my sunglasses on. Then I failed at installing an air conditioner in the window. And yesterday, I cooked chicken and then dropped it in the sink into a dirty cup. But when salads like this happen, I don’t feel as bad about messing stuff up. You see, this salad is a win. The goat cheese is crunchy…

Peach Pie Granita

It’s just not right to turn on the oven when it’s 90° out, and therefore 90° in my flat. I pushed through two oven-heating sides for our BBQ feast Monday; there was no way I was going to be able to make/eat the warm peach goodness I had in mind. But don’t worry, you guys! This is chilly granita tastes just like peach pie! You should probably make this next time you’re craving pie or…

Strawberry Almond Sunday Cake

Sometimes things aren’t as simple as this Sunday cake. For example, I wanted to order Sliding Doors on demand and accidentally ordered Space Chimps. You’d think ordering a movie would be simple… Can you believe I messed it up? And it’s hot like summer, so it’s too hot for tights. And did you know that my legs are always too pale for summer? It’s not simple for me to get a tan, that’s for sure. This…

Honey Graham Granola

I can’t do it, you guys. I can’t muster up motivation to vacuum. We get the keys to the new place tomorrow, and I just can’t bring myself to dust anymore. I just want to clean there and not here anymore. Do you see my point? Do you see that graham cracker bird, right there? This recipe is all about oats getting toasty with almonds. It has a little bit to do with honey and…
