This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it’s goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can’t have chocolate so he can’t get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It’s one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It’s the kind you bring into work to share, and eat…
My blog turned three last Tuesday! In dog years it can drink legally! I figured that for this birthday I’d revisit my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, since they’re probably the first thing ever baked on my own in my life, and since they’re delicious. So thanks guys for visiting my blog ever! It means the world to me! Without this little spot of the internet I would’ve never met Cindy in real life, and she’s the…
While baking these I might’ve been looking up 90’s Mariah Carey to blare. Sometimes you just need to sing along to Fantasy or Always Be My Baby while baking cookies, ya know? I hope you like these so much you get mad at them. I hope you have good intentions (like I did) to just half a cookie at a time… and save the rest for the next day, but instead eat it out of…
Do you have your grocery list handy? Add flowers and chocolate, ok? And coconut oil, maybe. What I’m trying to say is, “treat yo ‘self”! You just really deserve it! I’m really excited that I finally have coconut oil in my pantry! Cindy uses it in her granola! Nicole stir-frys with it! I just needed to get with the program. Time to get coconutty with it. So, when I saw these muffin on Smitten Kitchen, I knew they’d be just the thing…
Yesterday, I wore army green slacks (slacks!?) that are basically stretch pants. I wore them with my favorite gray v-neck. I obviously got dressed with plans to nap the day away. That’s just how I roll on Sundays. Sometimes I keep it casual. Sometimes my pies keep it casual. Don’t bother stressing out about keeping this crust a nice oval. Don’t worry if it looks like Wisconsin. Just think about eating a tasty pie. Because…
I could eat ice cream every day. Winter or summer, hungry or full, before dinner or after dinner, today and tomorrow. Lately, I’ve been into soft serve of the chocolatiest-chocolate variety. I’m into blizzards and flurries with mix-ins. The more chocolate the better. So, I figured, why not make a vegan remix! I knew I wanted to use this chocolate coconut milk ice cream because it’s the creamiest and dreamiest. And these cookies are cakie like…
There’s something you should know. A couple weeks ago, while riding my bike, I ran over a remote control car. It was awkward for everyone. If it makes you feel any better, later on in that same bike ride, I almost fell while simultaneously losing my shoe and discussing pork tenderloin with grilled sweet potatoes. Karma, man. …like the time I paid at the art store in all dimes only to come outside to an exacto…
I can’t get enough of this song: Spun by Grouplove. It’ll make you dance. Beware. I can’t get enough sunshine. I keep reading books in the backyard. I have a v-neck sunburn line, but to me it’s tan? And I can’t get enough chocolate chip cookie remixes in my life either. They are the comfort food of the cookie world. They taste like home, and sometimes you just need to taste that, right? These guys…
Sometimes I skip lunch and eat cake and blinis. Sometimes I put fresh figs in the middle of a bundt cake. Sometimes I load up my car with dishes and food and hang out with my homegirl Cybelle. Sometimes I get my food styling on freelance-style. I made this stuff awhile back for Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted warm wintery chocolatey things and appetizer things. So I made a chocolate gingerbread bundt cake! I sautéed…
My favorite day is Sunday because lately it involves a good breakfast, bike-riding, and beers. Yesterday this was the breakfast that got my day going. It was a good start to a day full of sunshine. And I think I’m tan! … and by tan I mean kinda freckled. I want you guys to know something. I want you to know that nobody feels like the third wheel in this breakfast. Strawberry jam, brie, and…
