I wake up hungry. Literally I wake up to my stomach growling. So much so, that I honesty considered having a snack pre-breakfast. I opted for one of these right off the griddle to tide me over before I ate the stack of hotties I took pictures of. My sister bought me this griddle for christmas. It’s perfect for pancakes for a crowd, but mostly it’s perfect for pancakes for one! It makes it easier…
Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…
What do you guys bake when you’re baking your feelings? I tend to go the chocolate chip cookie route. They just taste all homey-like. They’re comforting, ya know? It’s even better if I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. So when I stumbled across these cookies and read about their toffee-like flavor I knew I needed them to happen immediately. And they are totally toffee-tastic. So get ready. And there is no butter allowed…
Cindy came over on Saturday and we put beer and chocolate in waffles. And if that wasn’t enough, we s’more-ifyed them. We topped them with marshmallow sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and more chocolate. These are light and tasty! They are my second favorite to the Belgian-style yeast waffles. And these guys are low-maintence! The batter doesn’t need to rest at all. It’s never tired. I already have plans to make these guys again and top them with…
Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we celebrated with brunch (again)! The flat is currently covered in pink, red, and gold. There are buntings, fringe, and glitter everywhere. I’m pretty sure it’s on my face right now. I was super into painting things gold and fringe, this year. I even gave the table a fringe-y skirt since the craft paper wasn’t wide enough to cover the whole thing. (Lookin’ good, table!) Eventually I put some chili…
I have holes in the right elbow of most of my sweaters. I’m pretty much a ragamuffin because I keep wearing hole-y things. I suppose the only thing to do to avoid my elbow drama is to make scones. These scones will distract you from your ragamuffin ways and get your focus more on things like how to eat breakfast in a brownie outfit. Heart-shaped scones are totally encouraged all year. But since Valentine’s Day…
Did you guys eat Fudge Stripe cookies as kids? Did you pop them onto your finger and casually eat them around the edges? I totally did. So these are a total memory! And an accessory! And they look so good in stripes. These taste just like the Keebler guys. And since I live in an upper flat, I’m basically baking these in a tree, right? So if you ever crave these store-bought beauties, just make…
Cindy totally came over this weekend. I’m just so glad she moved to Michigan. We have tons in common. For example, below is how these donuts came to be: C: Maybe we should make something Saturday. M: Sure! What’s something we both want? C: I always want everything. M: Me too. C: Maybe we should fry something? M: I’m looking at a donut recipe right now. So there you go. These donuts are divas. The…
Ronin is pretty much my favorite restaurant. I’m crazy for their seaweed salad, dragon roll, and their kobe beef mini burgers served with a mountain of shoe-string fries. So when they put beer in marshmallows, I knew it had to be good. I believe it was their November dessert special: guinness marshmallow s’mores with homemade graham crackers and dark chocolate ganache. Since it was a “limited time only” kind of thing, Jake and I totally…
