The thing is, I feel like I styled these muffins like Christmas. And I made these because I was craving this cake and because I had half of a vegan apple loaf guy for breakfast and sometimes a girl just needs a muffin. And my favorite muffin liners are parchment squares, my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my least favorite holiday is Christmas, and I think I want to listen to this song on repeat,…
As a valentine, would this cookie work with a card that said “I’d alfajore like you to be my valentine.” Is that a stretch? I think that one of these in a cellophane bag is the just the thing to tell someone they’re bomb. I popped all of these (except for the sample cookie, obvz) in the freezer for a cookie emergency of the “Shucks, you’re the best!” variety. I think these cookies are cute…
Because breakfast wins best meal award*. (*Based on the dessert-as-a-meal-thing, obvz.) Because my countertops are covered with dishes and my bed is covered with laundry. Because my car seats are covered in sesame seeds from emergency bagel-ing on the regular. Because I’m good at running out of milk, cereal, bread for toasting, and general breakfast foods. Because I took a 2-hour nap Saturday and then ran out of daylight. Because my favorite cowboy boots are…
Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…
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…
I’m a cereal monster. I’m like Jerry Seinfeld. I love it. It probably has a lot to do with my carb-love. Because of this fact, I knew I needed to make this granola! Cindy’s been raving about it to me, and she knows what’s up. Granola is super-simlple and so tasty! It also looks cute in a jar out on the counter. It has the looks and the personality. Be sure to to sample this…
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…
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…
Saturdays are for napping and giant-cookie making. Toasted coconut makes hoodie-wearing, cookie-making, messy-hair days better. After taking that picture I couldn’t remember how much flour I put in the sifter so I had to re-scoop 3 cups worth of whole wheat flour. Whew, talk about a hassle. … ha! This recipe is one that can be thrown together in minutes. It uses cold butter! So you don’t even have to remember to take butter out…
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…
