Workin’ It: Eton Mess with Berries and Cherries (Michigan Fruit Part 4)

By Megan | July 23, 2012July 16, 2012 by Megan

Whipped cream and fruit, you guys. Summer basics. They’re packed into jars, and are occasionally patriotic. Consider these the american flag denim shorts of your summer dreams. Pretend you dream about shorts like that. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click here, here, and here for the first three posts. And meringues too! For the crunch-factor! Based on the meringues sweetness, I’m going to tell you right now to go light…

Oatmeal Pancakes

By Megan | June 18, 2012 by Megan

Saturday morning I walked the pup and came home starving only to realize I had a measly amount of cereal, and no bread for toasting. Since I like to start my day with carbs, it was a breakfast emergency. I scavenged around and realized I had just the right amount of stuff to make these oatmeal pancakes! I threw the batter together, and gobbled these up with just enough time to get out the door to…

Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

By Megan | June 4, 2012 by Megan

I can’t eat oatmeal on it’s own: in a bowl, topped with milk, at the table. I just can’t. But I promise that I will eat it in cookies, scones, and muffins. I will eat these guys standing in the kitchen, over my computer, with a fork (when they’re too hot), and in my backyard with the pup. Breakfast is my favorite. I wake up hungry. And so, on the weekend, I daydream about warm biscuits,…

Belgian Beer Waffles

By Megan | May 31, 2012 by Megan

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…

Funfetti Cookies

By Megan | May 24, 2012 by Megan

Once, my sister Laura and I threw a Halloween Party with the booziest sangria. We baked patriotic funfetti cupcakes in christmas liners. We assembled the worst bean dip, and had the most fun. And you see, these cookies are an edible party. They taste as good as a party is fun! Skills! These are just as easy as those patriotic cupcakes we made at Halloween with no regard. And I bet you have the ingredients in your pantry!…

Lemon Poppy Seed Shortcakes

By Megan | April 12, 2012 by Megan

I made a cake for Easter. I made a cake and I messed it up. I put room temperature butter in at the beginning instead of melted butter at the end. The batter looked like cookie dough and baked up all flat-like. I mean, it wasn’t gross, but it was ugly. There was even a point where I was standing there looking blankly out the window holding half of one of the flat layers in…

Fudge Stripe Cookies

By Megan | January 30, 2012January 30, 2012 by Megan

Did you guys eat Fudge Stripe cookies as kids? Did you pop them onto your finger and casually eat them around the edges? I totally did. So these are a total memory! And an accessory! And they look so good in stripes. These taste just like the Keebler guys. And since I live in an upper flat, I’m basically baking these in a tree, right? So if you ever crave these store-bought beauties, just make…
