I’m trying to figure out what to tell you guy first. Like do you care that I cleaned my pantries?! There is no longer ancho chili powder strewn. And the other day I was going to get a solid dinner on my own and the next thing I knew I found myself at my kitchen table with chips, salsa and a dream. Why am I telling you about the weird alone at home chips and…
Don’t worry about breakfast, there’s English Muffins that can happen right in your kitchen! Don’t worry about what to top them with, use the Raspberry Jam you made last year after you picked the berries yourself with your BFF in the sun. Don’t worry about the rise-time, just sit in your backyard with your cute pup and wear sunglasses instead of make-up, and think about how ice cream is a necessity for this day to be a…
This pancake is for the super hungry waker-upper. It’s for the pancake champ. It’s for the hearty-whole wheat lover. It’s for me. This isn’t a light pancake. It’s actually pretty heavy. It’s manly, even. It’d wear flannel and chop wood and save me from a dragon. What a gentleman! You see, this pancake won. I didn’t completely finish it. Instead I left 2 whole bites on the plate and laid on the couch in defeat.…
Rumor has it, this bread was named after a sassy husband and his wife Anna. The husband was sick of corn meal mush in his life. He said, “Damn it, Anna, I’m just really sick of corn meal mush, and now you’re putting it in bread?! I’m over it, bia.” So now you have it. Unlike that sassy husband, I love corn meal everything. If it was up to me I’d call this bread Thanksanna…
Putting a sandwich on these guys is like having a sandwich on a corn muffin. Honestly, I can’t imagine anything better. I’m excited to make these the next time Jake makes pulled pork … ribs or briskit. Basically, these would accompany BBQ-ed goodness in a dreamy way. But for now peanut butter and strawberry jam will do. Oh yeah! It’s September! So I guess instead of BBQ-ing we should be thinking about beef stew and…
I’ve been trying to be more like Fergie lately. You know, the whole “up in the gym, just workin’ on my fitness” thing. So when I wanted waffles for Sunday breakfast, I figured I’d look for one packed with oats and protein and all that good stuff. And on top of all that, the brown sugar makes you totally doubt the need for syrup. So there you go! These waffles are healthy, but don’t hold…
I’m accomplishing things today! I have a double batch of Light Brioche Burger Buns on the rise for a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow at my best friend in the world’s house and I even made these pancakes for breakfast. These pancakes are hearty … as in a burley dude would like them. They have both whole wheat flour and corn meal in them and not a speck of white flour. They are so good…
I bought the good corn meal this week, and right on the front of the bag was a recipe for my dream pancake. I might’ve been tempted to make these for dinner throughout the week, but I held out until this morning, and I’m going to be honest when I say that I ate these as I made them (I couldn’t resist!) … the ones on the party plate were reserved for Jake. Last Sunday…
Don’t you just hate when you’re super excited about a recipe and then it just turns out ugly. Delicious, but ugly. This happened to me last night. I’m sure if I would have served them to a crowd of people they would have exclaimed, “I’m sure these cupcakes have really good personalities…” And beside their unfortunate looks, they baked up in a completely unpredictable way. I want to say it was my oven’s fault. I…
There are a couple things that I’m spoiled about. Homemade Strawberry Freezer Jam Cornmeal Taco Shells for taco night I really don’t like to buy strawberry jam ever. Growing up we had a never ending amount in the freezer. When I moved out there was a moment when I ran out of my strawberry jam and bought some… big mistake. So now I make it too. Another thing is these taco shells. Whenever we had…
