Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

By Megan | September 22, 2014 by Megan

Because my freezer is forever stocked, grandma-style, with pizza dough, waffles, and (now) cookies. Because I paint pumpkins, real-quick, after work and before dinner. Because I sometimes pick beers over runs and granola bars over lunch and sleeping in over timeliness. Because I want to pack my favorite books in my work bag, just-in-case, and because I slept better in California than anywhere it seems, and because I feel more like myself now than I…

Banana Bread Remixes for Betty Crocker

By Megan | March 18, 2014March 17, 2014 by Megan

Here’s some honesty. I live alone, right? Just me and Elliot the pup. And the truth is, I pretty much never have leftover banana bread. I always WANT to have leftover banana bread for cubing and mixing into ice cream, baking as french toast sticks, or for sandwiching with Nutella and toasted coconut, but when I have banana bread I eat it for every meal. The day I was sorting out the details for this…

Cocoa Puff Ice Cream

By Megan | March 10, 2014 by Megan

Well, I made that chipotle chicken chili again. You see, I’ve been the worst lunch-bringer during the workweek. So this week I’ll have lunch for days! And I also ensured that there’s post-chili ice cream. It’s just, you’re the dinner to my dessert, the cherry on top of my Monday, and cocoa puffs in my ice cream, ya know? I added a bit of Nutella and malt powder and it accentuates the cocoa puffs. I…

Neapolitan Rice Krispie Treats

By Megan | February 24, 2014February 23, 2014 by Megan

You know what makes me mad? When I grab a dish towel out of the cupboard and they all fall out on my head. And when the train near my house keeps me from dinner when I’m super hungry. Or when I reach for a beer in the fridge, but all I have is some weirdo dark stout guy that’s not for a casual after-work sipping. It maybe frustrates me when I postpone slicing rice…

Maple Shortbread Fries

By Megan | September 12, 2013September 11, 2013 by Megan

I like a day ending with a churro, and so it’s just a fact that I like a dessert that can be dunked. These aren’t churros, but are salty and maple-y shortbread cut into fries that can be dunked at your leisure. They’re super tasty dunked in Nutella (but what isn’t?) but would also be tasty dipped into jam or blueberry coulis. But beware, you might want to eat quite a few of these. In…

Chocolate Crepe Cake Minis + a Megabite Birthday

By Megan | June 20, 2013 by Megan

My blog’s four! If it was a degree, it’d be a bachelor’s! If it was a relationship, it’d be a serious one! In these four years, I’ve baked my feelings, made you brunch, drank beer with crepes, put beer in waffles, poured it over ice cream. I’ve tried to make pie without making pie. (Twice.) I’ve been super happy and super sad. I’ve met some great ladies and fellas! I just love this community. Ya’ll…

Birthday Crepe Cake

By Megan | December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 by Megan

I’ve daydreamed about ruffly crepe cakes for years! So, I figured it was time to finally do it! I was lucky enough to have my parents in town, so my mom and I stood around the kitchen flipping crepes for awhile before dinner. I showed her how I swirl the batter, she showed me how dance around with a spatula. My birthday morning was a brunch party! My parents, brother, and I enjoyed skrovaires (Romanian…

Coffee S’mores Pie {no bake}

By Megan | July 12, 2012July 11, 2012 by Megan

This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it’s goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can’t have chocolate so he can’t get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It’s one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It’s the kind you bring into work to share, and eat…

Nutella-Filled Donuts {A Cindy + Megan Adventure}

By Megan | January 16, 2012January 19, 2012 by Megan

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.
