My Favorite French Toast (Oui!)

I’m kinda anti-alarm on the weekend. But it’s gotten to the point that I’m really good at sleeping in. So my bf was going to come by at 10:30 for French toast… But I woke up at 10:37! Luckily he’s good at sleeping in also. So I baked this up while I showered and stuff. Served with a lil side of huntsman cheese because it’s my favorite and it’s striped and after that cheese-break I…

Jeni’s Splendid Shortcake

What day is it? I mean, I made these shortie cakes for the 4th of July to be eaten near a pool with a bikini on. (It happened.) Next thing I know it’s a week later, and I’ve been spending my week sleeping, eating popsicles, forgetting dinner, baking cookies, sleeping some more, and over explaining giant lunch-wiches. I guess sometimes summer just clobbers you, ya know? I’m probably not making a ton of sense. I blame it…

Angel Food Cake

You guys, I keep buying a dozen eggs and then a dozen more. I guess I’m super scared to run out ever, ya know? They’re my go-to lunch and my emergency single-lady dinner. And what if I need to make a french silk pie? So, I’ve had eggs to spare just begging to turn into a angel food cake. How could I say no? And I’ve had an angel food cake pan just dying to be…

Chocolate Crepe Cake Minis + a Megabite Birthday

My blog’s four! If it was a degree, it’d be a bachelor’s! If it was a relationship, it’d be a serious one! In these four years, I’ve baked my feelings, made you brunch, drank beer with crepes, put beer in waffles, poured it over ice cream. I’ve tried to make pie without making pie. (Twice.) I’ve been super happy and super sad. I’ve met some great ladies and fellas! I just love this community. Ya’ll…

Let’s make our faves with Silk!

Silk Soymilk has a whole new taste that I find to be super delightful! It reminds me of slightly sweetened cereal milk, and I’m into it. I love it in my favorite frozen banana, honey, and cinnamon smoothie. Don’t be fooled by this smoothie’s khaki ensemble, it’s subtly sweet frosty goodness. It’s super good poured over my favorite crispy coconut oil granola. Popping a few berries on top doesn’t hurt either. It’s one speedy, yet…

Belgian Beer Waffles

There are some things in life you just HAVE to do. If you find a dress at Anthropologie worth loving, and it’s on sale for $30 plus it fits you perfectly, you have to buy it. If you’re feeling down in the dumps, and you’re wearing sunglasses instead of make-up then you should get pizza and breadsticks for lunch. You should eat it with your BFF who won’t judge your lack of mascara. If your…

Mom Visit {a recap}

My mom was in town last weekend! So I made sure to take her to my favorite places. We went to Taqueria Lupita’s for dinner for carnitas tacos and then walked down to La Gloria Bakery for churros and the cutest cookies ever. (I can’t wait to go back to try their pork tamales!) We went to Eastern Market on Saturday morning for strawberries and rhubarb to make pie! We couldn’t resist the daffodils either. For dinner I used some…

Double Chocolate Whole Wheat Pancakes

I wake up hungry. Literally I wake up to my stomach growling. So much so, that I honesty considered having a snack pre-breakfast. I opted for one of these right off the griddle to tide me over before I ate the stack of hotties I took pictures of. My sister bought me this griddle for christmas. It’s perfect for pancakes for a crowd, but mostly it’s perfect for pancakes for one! It makes it easier…
