I brought this cake two and a half hours away to be the post-bbq dessert on Memorial Day. All of the mushrooms survived the trip. I thought that was nice of them. I’ve been wanting a reason to make meringue mushrooms ever since I knew they existed. This woodgrain cake gave me the motivation to finally do it! Would you care to have this piece? I’d totally share if Jake and I hadn’t finished the…
So I guess I’m the type of girl who will get up at 7 am solely to make whipped cream to top a pie to eat for breakfast. That’s just what needs to happens when a pie is assembled 10:30 pm, but it has to chill in the fridge for a couple hours before slices can be pretty. I guess I’m the type of girl who gets bullied by pie crust sometimes and learns the…
I don’t have an ice cream maker. What I do have is 10 minutes, chocolate and a dream. This ice cream is magic because instead of needing to be churned for hours, it can be fluffy and glorious simply by folding whipped cream all up in some chocolate. A few bites in and this magical ice cream was compared to mousse, which is probably what most ice creams want to be compared to. Sometimes I’m…
When this was baking, my kitchen smelled like an ice cream parlor … or maybe like a waffle cone. So, that’s probably reason enough to make this, right? I decided to use some of my miscellaneous chips for this. They look pretty, eh? Make these crunchy guys! Package them up for friends. Give them to your boyfriend! Leave them at home for when there is a snacking necessity. And look at that down there! These…
Today is the day that a new FULL SIZE oven will be delivered to my flat. I’m pretty excited … still thinking about what to make in it first. All, I know is that we are for sure making dinner tonight and I’m for sure making dessert. But first things first … peanut butter and chocolate hung out in my kitchen last night. The peanut butter mingled with some graham cracker crumbs and even canoodled…
Ok. Arm yourself with a microwave and make these candy bars and pass them out to anyone and everyone that knows that s’mores are where it’s at. These will bring your kitchen and belly all kinds of no-bake love. Repair guys don’t bother repairing things on weekends. What’s up with that? I’m crossing my fingers that today is the day that the repair guy will fix my oven, but until then, make these super simple…
It’s warm-ish here in the mitten. Warm enough for dog walking and strappy strappy shoe wearing and short sleeve coats and windows down driving listening to the new She & Him album and definitely warm enough for strawberries topping a tart. I’m going to be honest with you about a couple things. The first thing is that I think this would be just as amazing without the chocolate. The strawberries are enough to make this…
Sometimes I get impatient when I have to wait until Tuesday to watch Law and Order and sometimes I get impatient eating dinner when there’s dessert. I usually get impatient about breakfast as I’m going to bed and I was really impatient about trying one of these muffins right out of the oven. I ran out of kosher salt right after I ran out of patience … I might have used sea salt in these out…
I’m pretty strong. Once I broke an ice tray in half just trying to loosen the ice cubes. That might be the only example I can think of as far as physical strength… but I had to have really strong self control not to eat all these scones while they were still warm. The crunch of the coconut with the melty chocolatey goodness just about did me in. Do you ever think of coconut and pair…
So these cookies are called Mrs. Fields cookies, but my mom refers to them as Megan’s Cookies. These are my most favorite and I hadn’t made them until now because I didn’t have a blender for the oatmeal! Ok… I’ve had a blender since last summer, so what’s my problem? Well, one of my friends is having a birthday today and he love love loves oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. So there you go. I made him…
