It’s time for a change. Maybe I need to cut my hair (ah! no!) or maybe I need to move furniture around and make a breakfast nook in my flat. Maybe I need to stop eating my lunch standing in the kitchen or doing dishes with my coat on. Maybe I need to eat charcuterie for lunch more often, or maybe I need to get ice cream every day. I’m not sure what I need…
My mom totally came up with this dreamy cookie recipe. She told me about them before she made them, texted me pictures after she made them, and sent me the recipe that very night. The next day I bought the ingredients. The thought of a cookie with tons of mix-ins, plenty of crunch and a pecan sandie-esque melt-in-your-mouth quality sounded perfect. They were just what I needed to bump me out of the funk I…
Unlike these scones, I never wear khaki. At least I haven’t since I worked at the Coffee Beanery, in high school. But these scones can look supercool in khaki like Kendi. That’s not easy. They’re just a fashionable breakfast. P.S. I opted to blend up the rolled oats so that these would have an awesome texture instead of a weird texture. Also because blending oats happens in these cookies, and it works out swimmingly. But give…
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.…
These scones look like awkwardly shaped cookies, and they kinda taste like them. They are like cookie-granola bar-scones. They have a really good personality. Basically, this is the go-to recipe when you have a few kinds of chocolate chips, and a 6 walnuts, and a little bag of coconut left. They are good at making all those things feel like they were in your pantry for a reason. They make the end-bits feel good about themselves.…
I can’t do it, you guys. I can’t muster up motivation to vacuum. We get the keys to the new place tomorrow, and I just can’t bring myself to dust anymore. I just want to clean there and not here anymore. Do you see my point? Do you see that graham cracker bird, right there? This recipe is all about oats getting toasty with almonds. It has a little bit to do with honey and…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them 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…
So these cookies are called Mrs. Fields cookies, but my mom refers to them as Megan’s Cookies. These are my most favorite and I hadn’t made them until now because I didn’t have a blender for the oatmeal! Ok… I’ve had a blender since last summer, so what’s my problem? Well, one of my friends is having a birthday today and he love love loves oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. So there you go. I made him…
I’m working on growing up. Sometimes I wear bright red lipstick. I (try to) wear high heels despite the icy sidewalks. And rumor has it adults eat oatmeal. If I’m an adult, and I can do what I want, I will have my oatmeal in a cookie and feel very mature about it. These cookies are brownie-esque since there is both cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate involved. So yeah, they can’t help but be related…
