Roasted Strawberry Ice Pops

The other day I popped into the zombie grocery store (if you went there you’d totally understand) and bought 2 lbs of strawberries because they were somehow $4? And (real talk) I’ve been the worst at letting fruit go bad lately. Herbs get wrankled and black in my tundra-fridge and I’ve been losing cheese in the back and forgetting about heavy cream. So, I had to get my life together and use up these berries…

Neapolitan Cake

Yesterday I took Elliot to get ice cream because he turned 9 this week! And I’m not the kind of lady to let a fella eat ice cream alone… even though I had a piece of this cake earlier in the day. You see, it’s someone’s birthday somewhere, so why not have cake and ice cream in one day! Even if there are a few hours in between, right? My mom visited last weekend! We…

Freckled Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade

Stephanie at Girl Versus Dough is having a baby! A girl! And if this isn’t a reason to put rhubarb in everything to make it ladylike and pink, I don’t know what is. So let’s make this lemonade and toast to Stephanie and the future little lady in her life. This lemonade could easily be frozen into ice pops. It could just as easily be mixed with vodka (not right now, Stephanie) for sipping in…

Single Lady French Toast

There was a dark time in my life where I didn’t like French toast. I’d had too many soggy, weird, egg-y situations. Even out on the town, it was disapointment-ville. BUT then I learned the secret. A combo of using stale (homemade) bread that will keep it’s cool when under pressure or submerged in liquid AND, secondly, infusing the milk. Why dunk your bread in plain old milk, when you can infuse it with a…

Berry Buckle Muffins

I just want to be like, “Hi there, I’m Berry Buckle, your local plumber/electrician/locksmith.” Because this name makes me think of a fix-it dude. And those are the kinds of things I think, you guys. Anywaaaaaaay, I whipped up these muffins for work because, you see, I work some some cool folks of the muffin-deserving type. I also happened to have spare berries AND I’m back in the game as far as having butter in…

Strawberry Coffeecake

This coffeecake has nutmeg in it making it taste like a donut. And it can count as a breakfast, mid-afternoon snack, or even a first dinner. It calls for strawberry jam, and so I whipped up my favorite strawberry freezer jam with a vanilla bean for good measure. And, I have to say, that this stuff was super hard to photograph… solely because I wanted to eat it so badly! I gobbled up two slices…

Brown Butter Yeast Waffles

I haven’t gone running since I stepped on a dead mouse 2 weeks ago. I haven’t folded the laundry from last week. I just keep moving the pile around. I haven’t returned the library book I checked out months ago. But mostly, I haven’t used this little heart waffle maker since a Belgian waffle maker came into my heart, life, and kitchen. I’m a fool! I love all waffles. You see, I’m an equal opportunity…

Buttermilk Cupcakes + Strawberry Jam Frosting

I haven’t made cupcakes in awhile. I guess I’ve been busy spilling enchilada sauce in my shoe and helping myself to the bread basket before you show up for dinner. Maybe I’ve been spending too much time splitting gelato flights and shopping for blankets and thinking about picnics. Anyhow, last weekend I finally cupcaked it up. A fella I know loves strawberries, so I knew these had to happen. And it’s ok that they’re pink.…

Berry Breakfast Pops

It’s time to freeze up some breakfast smoothie business. Take a bite and then run an un-bitten one downstairs to your new neighbor. You see, even a gentleman can appreciate the ladylike looks of this pop. They’re a healthy snack! A breakfast! A friend-maker! Offer some to his dapper cat. Offer some to your bow-tie wearing dog. Live your life. It’s still summer. So we should really embrace it! Popsicles for breakfast and sandals and…
