The other day, while eating on the patio of a local brewery, I glanced over and saw a truck drive by with two shiba inu pups looking out at me; one white one and one tan one. I felt so lucky to get to see those cute little guys! I’m so glad I looked! I also feel lucky to live in a world where peaches exist. They’re just really pretty, and so tasty. And they…
I’m sharing the recipe for these Roasted Peach Sliders over on, my girl, Hungry Girl Por Vida’s blog today! She’s out of town and I feel so honored to be hanging out over on her blog today. Click HERE for the full post and recipe. I know it’s Tuesday, but I hope your weekend was glorious!
Infusing vodka is magical. The vodka transforms from clear to fruity brights. Boom. Three days go by and you can casually sip fruity vodka on the rocks. No biggie. For this story I made seven different kinds: watermelon, peach vanilla, cherry, strawberry basil, blueberry, cucumber, and raspberry blueberry blackberry. My favorite is watermelon. It tastes like a refreshing summer dream. I also love the cherry and strawberry basil. So, pretty much you should just slice up…
Jake makes dinner most nights during the week. Mondays are my night. Generally, on my night, I’d rather nap and then go out for pizza. I’d rather sit in a tall booth with Third Eye Blind playing. This last week I felt super motivated somehow! I made Tracy’s Vietnamese Noodle Salad (but with peanut-crusted chicken instead of tofu). I went to the grocery store on my lunch break and then again after work because I’m a…
My mom knows about pie. She knows that it’s ok to use 8 cups of peaches instead of 5, and she didn’t judge me for not having a pastry blender. She also said that it’s ok if a pie is juicy and doesn’t slice as pretty as you’d hope. “Just serve it in a bowl,” she says. So there you go. We went to Eastern Market Saturday morning to get all those Michigan peaches up…
Maybe someday I’ll live somewhere where my cactuses can live comfortably and not shiver on my windowsill. They are really mad it’s not summer. I’m kinda mad it’s not summer. Especially when I want to make a peachy fruity dessert of my dreams. Don’t worry though guys, it is really possible to have super delicious peaches despite the cold. While they may be cookies disguised as peaches, they are pretty and summery in a way…
Mom’s just know things. Like the following: Peaches ripen quicker if put in a brown paper bag. This is good to know when you buy peaches the day before making peach crumble so they’d be freshest, but they’re not super ripe yet. If you’re making the sauce for on the ribs for dinner and you feel the need to thicken it with corn starch, you should take a measuring cup and remove some of the…
