Things that make me happy: Elliot, brunch, NAPS, metallic shoes, pink Christmas trees, silver Christmas trees, mini Christmas trees and boozy milkshakes. So when Maker’s Mark contacted me and was all “Hey girl, want to make an eggnog cocktail with fancy bourbon?!” I responded with a super profesh-ish, “Hell yeah.” Or something like that. When I think of eggnog, I think of it kinda as drinking an ice cream base. Which is weird of me,…
A couple weekends ago, I went to Grand Rapids thanks to ExperienceGr and The Lemon Bowl (who organized this adventure weekend). We started off a boozy weekend with happy hour and beer and wine and champagne at the Food and Wine festival and finished off the night with a Founder’s brewery tour! Can you believe all those cans of All Day IPA?! We got up bright and early to get breakfast. I had that lil wrap.…
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…
Biscuits couldn’t get much easier than heavy cream and self-rising flour… So I complicated it by roasting a beet and making them pink. I’d like to thank my new BFF, my AC window unit, making the the whole roasting and baking thing doable. So live your life in a world with pink biscuits and feta polka dots and cute breakfast. P.S. Thanks to King Arthur Flour for the flour and biscuit cutter! XOXO Roasted Beet & Feta…
CONTEST CLOSED XOXOXOX Have you snow coned yet this summer? Do it up! Fresh fruit snow cones are what’s up. And adding a lil bit of booze wouldn’t hurt anything. And did you know that rainbow sherbet is my favorite thing? It’s so pretty! Serving it with this sparkly kiwi watermelon business is so dreamy too. Totally worth summer sipping. Or! Just serve these over a popsicle! Add a splash of St. Germaine. Live your…
In January I went on a little vegan-eating thing for 3 weeks and really loved it! I like how food-rules (self-induced even) turn into more creativity sometimes! I mean, if I don’t give myself any restraints I end up peanut butter cookies passed around at the bar or all the Cadbury mini eggs. But regardless of all that, this is my current favorite meal. It’s ALL veggies and the sauce has my heart. I feel pretty good about…
Hey guys ! I’ve partnered up with Door to Door Organics and it’s fun already. I’ve eaten bagels and jam, cookies for breakfast, Lara Bars for snacks, roasted up a ton of veggies for dinner, mashed pinto beans for in veggie burgers, and eaten salsa out of desperate hunger. And guess what! I’ve got a little something for you good-lookin’ folks. Place an order for your first Door to Door Organics box and use the discount code “MEGABITE”…
Snacks are really important to me. I won’t stop talking about it! So when the folks from This Bar Saves Lives contacted me to blog about where I snack, I was totally into it. Good snack, good cause, less hangry biz. I put a few bars in my desk drawer to eat between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner or for lunch. I liked this one best. It has vanilla bean freckles. This one…
If I bring my lunch to work, I like it in a jar. Preferably layered real cute-like. Good-lookin stacked salads make for a fun desk lunch. Way more fun than handfuls of granola and granola bars and weird snacks from the basement store that also sells enchiladas with fries on the side. (I ain’t mad at that.) My favorite chicken salad is creamy with Greek yogurt and whipped goat cheese. No mayo in sight. That…
I smile about you guys and Elliot the pup every day. More Honey Bunnies and salads, right? Edible sunsets are cool too. Let’s really hang out. I’m going to New Orleans and Nashville soon! Yay! That deer really does pull that tie off ever so effortlessly. Picnics are my kinda adventure. All the Zinnias and Poppies in my neighborhood forever and always. Full disclosure: I was given payment from Annie’s Homegrown to post this resolution biz While this…
