Thursdays are my day. You see, I took them off work indefinitely to get my other stuff done. I’ve got important things to do today. For example, I put make-up on today fully intending to nap in it. I’m also going to clean up the stuff that’s strewn and do the dishes and make a serious Thanksgiving grocery list. The best part is that these days normally start with coffee and splitting a donut and a…
It’s November, and in my heart it was just summer. Because you see I learned a lot over the last few months. Like if you swim in a pool and don’t have time to wash your hair before work, bright lipstick will totes distract from the flipped out Dr. Seuss hairdo (hair-don’t). And did you know you can get a Dairy Queen blizzard in a waffle cone? And it was even more than a few months…
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…
Turns out my self-control regarding cookies is kinda non-existent these days. I think it’s because I haven’t really grocery shopped. I bought berries and then didn’t make jam. I bought milk, but no cereal. I have teeny waffles in the freezer, but no peanut butter. I’ve been eating cookies for breakfast and sometimes as a lunch appetizer, and occasionally an after-run reward. I’m pretty glad (or not so glad) that there’s only one cookie left…
It was 70 degrees yesterday! I wore a dress with ankle boots and NO tights. This means that summer can happen in a state that won a snow record. A state that had snow multiple feet high for months. Consider this ice cream me raising the roof to summer beccause I want to serve it as a side dish to pulled pork sandwiches and right with some grilled everything. You see, this is honey ice…
While in my heart, I’m totes kinda grinchy, in my baked goods I’m totally Elf. I mean, the other day when I was eating waffles for dinner I totally thought that I might like maple syrup as much as that dude. (What am I saying?!) Anyhow, this cake is easy-breezy! A perfect Tuesday afternoon cake. So I totally recommend whipping this up to take to your boyfriend’s mom’s house or to your BFF’s aunt’s house…
We’ve known each other long enough for nicknames, wouldn’t ya say? I think “Honey Pie” is the perfect one for you guys! Because you see, I took one bite of this and sent a text to a friend saying, “Come over right now! I just made the best pie in the world!” And now so can you guys! This pie truly does taste magical. It’s taking all of my self control not to keep cutting…
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…
My favorite thing to top toast with, these days, is butter, honey, and sea salt. Can’t stop. Won’t stop. Sometimes I eat it for lunch. Sometimes I eat it for dessert. Mostly, I just love it. So when Adrianna posted Salty Honey Ice cream, I immediately thought of my fave toast. And you guys, this tastes like the ice cream version of my favorite toasty breakfast! I want to high five it! I keep imagining…
Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…
