French toast always reminds me of two things. 1. That girl in The 40-Year Old Virgin who really wanted Fraaaaaaanch toast while driving recklessly. 2. The part in Better Off Dead where the mom, who was an awful cook, made all “French” foods* for the foreign exchange student/hottie. I need to watch more 80’s movies with John Cusak in them. And I need to make these cookies again immediately. Oui oui! *French bread. French Toast.…
My mom brought me this tray at Christmas and I think it might be my new favorite. It looks like a dreamy Valentine! And it makes these muffins feel really good about themselves too. I can tell they’re super confident in their red outfits, with their powdered sugar sprinkles. And these are so much more than just a brown muffin. They’ve got style, they’ve got class, they’ve got beer. And they’re tasty! I put some…
These shortcakes have me thinking all kinds of things. Like, I definitely need to have a shortcake party. And that there’s a chance I could be open to love with greek yogurt. And where has this deer plate been all my life? I really love it, even though everyone knows bucks are deadbeat dads. Not cool, bucks. Not cool, at all. Now the beginning of Bambie is even sadder, ya know? Jeez. But let’s refocus.…
Is it cold where you’re at? These cookies will warm you right up. They’re like that new coat you bought. You know, the one that goes swimmingly with your favorite coral pants. While the coat isn’t as warm as it is fashionable, these cookies are toasty and equally pretty. These would pair well with a cozy night in. Or a casual day when you need some cookies in your life. Call your neighbor and have…
I’ve been drinking pumpkin beer and eating sandwiches on pumpkin bread. I’ve been using pumpkin puree to get Elliot to eat his medicine. I’ve been pinning pumpkin-painting ideas. To say, I’m totally in love with pumpkin is an understatement. I just really hope you guys aren’t totally over it, because these crepes are super good. They’re worth breakfasting on, it’s the truth. These would be extra awesome with a maple cream cheese filling. I served…
It’s always donut weather to me, but at the moment it’s REALLY donut weather. It’s time to go to the cider mill and get a half dozen donuts for yourself. It’s time to chug cider until your tum is an ocean. It’s time to wander on nature trails to nowhere. It’s time to put salted caramel on and in everything. It’s donut o’clock. Can you believe this recipe makes either 6 big donuts or like…
I find bread to be super comforting. So, let’s split a piece of warm bread right out of the oven ok? We can talk at the kitchen table. Let’s feel our feelings while snacking. Let’s turn off the heat and turn on the oven. The truth is, I’ll always want the biggest breadstick if out dining out. I’ll probably want to eat your corn bread right off your plate. I might make two pieces of…
I’m a Biscoff bully. Believe it. Since purchasing Speculoos Cookie Butter I’ve pretty much made everyone who stops by my house try it. There’s a three spoonful minimum. It’s a fact, and it’s ok. You see, it tastes like spicy graham cracker goodness. It’s my dream butta’. It’s just delicious and confusing. It’s just the kind of thing that you can’t get enough of. It’s puzzling and awesome at the same time. And it’s thoughtful!…
This weekend I went to see Moonrise Kingdom (finally!). I loved the romance and the peter pan collars. During the days I spent a lot of time in the yard with Elliot. My outfit matched the picnic table. I painted my nails the color of blueberries while watching crime shows on Netflix. And I totally sprinkled the berries that now matched my nails on this cake. What did you guys do? The truth is that this could…
It’s time for summery breakfasts. Breakfast to match our no-sleeves and shortie shorts. Let’s fill our pockets with snacks and go for a long walk. Let’s fill our bagels with berries and top them like they’re donuts. These bagels may be a two-day ordeal, but don’t let that stop you. The first day is no biggie, and the second day involves boiling and baking. It pairs perfectly with morning coffee and mis-matched pajama wearing. I…
