I’m going to be honest. I picked out this pie, but my mom made it while I perused our music options. I did zest a few lemons and totally complimented her on her crust skills. I also made the whipped cream, but my mixer did most of the work. We both ate this pie like total champs. My mom said she was going to make this pie when she got home from her visit. She…
This weekend was a success! I hit up the bloody mary bar at Social Kitchen with Cindy and Nicole. I almost knocked over a giant jug of tomato juice, and then dropped my snack skewer on the ground (and still ate it). I don’t know what it is about going out in public that immediately turns me into Steve Urkel. This lady brunch adventure was just what I needed! You see, I’ve been needing some…
To me, Christmas should be a two-meal day. GIANT breakfast served with mimosas. Cheese, crackers, and charcuterie for snacking all day. … with more champagne, of course. And then a BIG dinner. So, let’s do this, waffle-style. You see, these waffles look pretty festive, yet they’re simple! So let’s impress our Christmas guests brunch-style. Hope your holiday is everything you want it to be. Full of puppy kisses, twinkly lights, and waffles. Lemon Poppy Seed…
I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…
I don’t know what I’m doing, you guys. I occasionally walk into wherever to meet my friends and say, “What uuuuuup!” while doing the raise-the-roof hand motion. I get stressed about silly things. I’m awful at most paper crafts. (I cut things out all jagged-like.) I sometimes doubt the stuff I’m baking when it takes too long to set… But you know what? This ginger beer makes me feel like a super cool Hermione of…
Sometimes I’m informed of rules I had no idea existed. Like how root beer should NEVER be served over ice. It’s disrespect. And once as a kid I tried to order rice and mashed potatoes as side dishes, but my grandma said that I couldn’t get two starches! Now I eat breadsticks AND pizza. Oh man. What am I doing with my life? But when it comes to rosemary there are no rules! It’s the perfect…
While making this pizza I thought of a joke… It goes like this: Which cheese is the loneliest? (Any idea? Do you know!?) ProvALONE. Boom. … And then I realized that’s not how you spell it. It’s provolone. Shucks. Worst joke ever? Maybe, because of the whole spelling issue, it’s the kind of joke that can only be told aloud. So anyhow, I had a pizza like this at Roberta’s in New York and I loved it.…

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine involved multiple lady dates. Friday was all about garlicky shawarma sandwiches and hummus downtown. Saturday involved sharing a pitcher of margaritas and fajitas for two with this lovely lady. My weekend totally involved these sweet pretzels too. They are made from the sweet dough in the April issue of Bon Appetit! It’s brioche-esque and buttery. And with the sugar on top these are like eating a…
