This weekend has been a girly one. It involved mimosas, crafty wreath-making, casual chit chat over these muffins, and pumpkin pizza sharing. It’s been a good one. These muffins are perfect for spontanious brunching. Invite your BFF over while you’re in pajamas and while the muffins are still warm. Just do it. Everybody wins! But beware… These might make you curse out loud, because shut-the-front-door, they’re good. So you should probably try one before bringing…
I didn’t know what to say on this cake. I decided to follow my heart and just say what Rachel Zoe would say. This cake is bananas: B – A – N – A – N – A – S. Good thing I found more “A” cookies in the box, right? For a minute I was just using upside-down “V”s, and that’s just not classy. I figured that I should make those freckled bananas, casually lounging…
Owl you need is love. Who whooooo would you rather have as your Valentine? Owl always love you! Owl always think you’re a major hottie. Hootie hoo. These cookies could be given as Valentines. You could attach notes that say things like those ones up there. Owl bet everyone would really love it. Especially the one where you tell them they’re a major hottie. Did you know that coconut turns into owl feathers in the cookie…
It’s really snowy here in the mitten. I know it’s really snowy because it’s really high up on Elliot’s little legs. He’s not a fan of it at the moment, despite his fur coat. It’s so snowy that I switched my shoes from flats to boots on my lunch break. I had no choice! Nobody wants to snow in their shoes. So, it only makes sense to switch up my usual cold cereal for some…
I resolve to make a lot of ice cream this year. And I resolve to make swiss meringue buttercream again because it’s fluffy like a cloud. I also resolve to wear an apron so that I don’t get flour and chocolate all over my jeggings. But in non-baking life, I want to try to stop thinking about “what if” situations. It makes things harder. Like “what if I would’ve paid more attention and not put…
These are the ones. These are what to make when you feel like a disaster. Make them when you have really chippy nail polish left only on your right hand’s nails… from a month ago. These are what you make when you get peanut butter on your jeans that just came out of the wash. The truth is you can’t spot clean peanut butter off of jeans. It’s a fact. These are what you make…
Next week I’m going to the dentist and I’m getting my hair cut. I’m doing my best to have a sparkling smile and to not look like a ragamuffin. Next week I am going to go to pilates and I’m going to bundle up for walks. I’m going to wear ankle boots and not trip over the curb in front of strangers on a Tuesday. I’ll do my best not to cough because I breathed…
Gravel roads remind me of graham cracker crumbs. My childhood best friend called her grandma “grammy” and it reminded me of graham crackers. Once I ate a store-bought graham cracker crust standing in my mom’s pantry… and loved it. I’ve always loved graham crackers so I knew I’d love this recipe since it has way more graham cracker crumbs in the ingredients than anything else. Side-note: one of the eggs I used had freckles. This…
I like that this cake kinda looks like a super huge stack of pancakes. I like that there’s strawberry jam keeping it real between six layers of sugar cookie-esque goodness. I like that at the end I get to dust it with powdered sugar. I really like the dusting with powdered sugar part. It maybe doesn’t look like it here, but those guys are the same size. I weighed them all on my tiny scale…
I’ve been trying to be more like Fergie lately. You know, the whole “up in the gym, just workin’ on my fitness” thing. So when I wanted waffles for Sunday breakfast, I figured I’d look for one packed with oats and protein and all that good stuff. And on top of all that, the brown sugar makes you totally doubt the need for syrup. So there you go! These waffles are healthy, but don’t hold…
