I’ve been running out of eggs. Jake’s been eating them for breakfast. So if you’re vegan or if you’re just out of eggs and butter at the time, this is just the thing to bake. This bread is tasty. I’m going to say the allspice has a lot to do with it. The pumpkin doesn’t hurt either. Pumpkin is still my BFF even though it’s winter now. So next time you’re out of eggs or…
Thanksgiving happened! I helped my mom by making the green bean casserole, peeling potatoes, forming the rolls, confirming that turkey was getting a nice bronze tan, and by making this cheesecake. My mom loves cheesecake, so I figured she’d be the perfect lady to hang out with and bake my first real one. I mean, I’ve made mini’s before and cupcakes before, but this was the real deal … 2 pounds of cream cheese, baked…
Next week I’m going to the dentist and I’m getting my hair cut. I’m doing my best to have a sparkling smile and to not look like a ragamuffin. Next week I am going to go to pilates and I’m going to bundle up for walks. I’m going to wear ankle boots and not trip over the curb in front of strangers on a Tuesday. I’ll do my best not to cough because I breathed…
Biscuits topped with honey are my favorite. They’re about as homey as mac and cheese and high school music. So take the fall remix of that love and bake it. You’ll end up with these! I ate two of these with dinner. One as an appetizer because I couldn’t resist waiting, and the other one during the meal. I really wanted to have a third for dessert, but I couldn’t go crazy, right? Even though…
Maybe you should come over for dinner. You could see Elliot and Jake and maybe even the neighbor dog that wears a bandana and occasionally a lime green sweater. I’d probably make this for you because it’s pizza, it’s dreamy, and it’s pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor is subtle in an earthy way. It’s perfect for fall, but I’m not going to be limited by seasons with this dough; I love it too much, and I…
Some days are just no fun. Some days are filled with achey feet because you wore your new favorite shoes to the grocery store when they should’ve been saved for real goin’ out type things. And then sometimes headphones get dunked in tea on accident when they sure don’t know how to swim. And sometimes when you forget socks to wear during step aerobics, it’s time to stop everything. Just stop everything, and make some…
I’ve been called “Sir” twice in my life. The first time was when I was working at a tuxedo rental shop. I was wearing a polka dotted dress and looking very much like a lady. But after this guy was all sized up for his tux, he said, “Thank you, Sir”, and scurried out. He returned momentarily and gave me a dollar for a tip … I think he was just giving me a dollar…
First of all, please don’t judge me for eating french fries two days in a row. And, please just know that two glazes are better than one. Always. So maybe two days of french fries is better than one? We are a few days into September, so it’s only right to get moving with the pumpkin love. And these scones are the perfect start. They are mini, so you can eat them two days in…
Yesterday, on my birthday’s eve, I got a mysterious package in the mail. I picked that polka dotted envelope out of the squiggly wiggly paper stuff and it was from Joy the Baker! Talk about a birthday miracle! Evidently it happened like this: my mom was all, “Hey Joy, my daughter thinks you’re totally cool and stuff.” Next thing I know Joy sent me a magical fennel pollen spice remix and a card shaped like the…
Lately I’ve been an awkward phone conversation ender. I will “ok” to your “alright then”. I don’t know why it’s happening, but I’m certain it’s me. I’m the one making the end of the conversation feel like it’s just the middle. If you’ve been victim to this. I apologize. Ok. Alright then. So… Hmmm. And insert awkward silence here………..Bye. There’s nothing awkward about this bread though. It is savory enough to dunk in soup and…
