I’m obviously head over heels in love with the chocolate orange combo. I mean, I’ve sconed, brioched, frozen, and now cookied again. Can’t stop won’t stop. These whimsical guys should totally be a part of your holiday baking. And their swirly chocolate outfit makes them the fun cookie. The cookie that never irons its outfit, but makes it seem so cool. Not to mention, these are soft, dreamy, love-worthy cookies. Trust me, ok? Please note: this…
This brioche is delicious, but in the process of making it my mixer broke! Currently, my beloved Kitchenaide is sitting in pieces in the spare room, on the desk I never sit at, while I wait for parts to arrive in the mail. I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll be up in running in 3-5 business days. It all started when I used the paddle attachment for this here buttery yeast dough. T’was too much!…
Saturday night I had brussel sprouts for dinner. Sunday morning I had these guys. A breakfast fit for Marie Antoinette. If only I would’ve paired pink champagne with this stack of heaven. So there you go! I’m on the vegetable and pancake diet. I’ve wanted to make ricotta pancakes since I had some dreamy ones at Five Leaves in New York. I guess I should be adding ricotta to every pancake I eat from now…
The truth is, I’m going to New York tomorrow. It’s my first time and I’m pretty much bursting with excitement! I think I’m going to go to Baked, and Momofuko, and I have plans to eat giant slices of pizza and wear party dresses for no reason. (!!!!) I’m going with a lady friend and staying with this one! Let’s just say that good food will be happening. But first, waffles! I made these for my…
I’m a Biscoff bully. Believe it. Since purchasing Speculoos Cookie Butter I’ve pretty much made everyone who stops by my house try it. There’s a three spoonful minimum. It’s a fact, and it’s ok. You see, it tastes like spicy graham cracker goodness. It’s my dream butta’. It’s just delicious and confusing. It’s just the kind of thing that you can’t get enough of. It’s puzzling and awesome at the same time. And it’s thoughtful!…
I hated summer camp. The first time I went it was the summer after 3rd grade. Picture it: scrawny redhead with long bangs and long hair, wearing a lot of neon… with a fanny pack on daily. And well, my fanny pack held my retainer-holders for when I had to take them out or whatever. I mean, once I left it at the baseball diamond and I might’ve ran as fast as I could to…
There’s something you should know. A couple weeks ago, while riding my bike, I ran over a remote control car. It was awkward for everyone. If it makes you feel any better, later on in that same bike ride, I almost fell while simultaneously losing my shoe and discussing pork tenderloin with grilled sweet potatoes. Karma, man. …like the time I paid at the art store in all dimes only to come outside to an exacto…
Sometimes I skip lunch and eat cake and blinis. Sometimes I put fresh figs in the middle of a bundt cake. Sometimes I load up my car with dishes and food and hang out with my homegirl Cybelle. Sometimes I get my food styling on freelance-style. I made this stuff awhile back for Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted warm wintery chocolatey things and appetizer things. So I made a chocolate gingerbread bundt cake! I sautéed…
Since tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day you should probably put beer in your waffles and beer in your cake. Oh, and wear green so you don’t get pinched by any weirdos! 01: S’mores {Ronin Style} with Stout Marshmallows + Oh My Ganache 02: Guinness Chocolate Cake + downloadable flags! 03: Chocolate Stout Waffle S’mores AKA beer for breakfast 04: Mini Hacker-Pschorr Cupcakes for toasting purposes 05: Beer Spice Cake with Brown Butter Glaze cake in a cozy outfit 06:…
Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…
