Pumpkin Bagel Bread Pudding

My favorite thing about bread pudding is that it’s SO DELICIOUS. My second favorite thing about bread pudding is that it’s basically French toast. My third favorite thing about it is that it can be made with bagels, and Bruegger’s Bagels recently launched their super-tasty pumpkin bagels just in time for fall, and this bread pudding is so happy about it! (Favorite thing number three is something I just recently learned with this recipe. I…

Lemon Sprankle Shortbread

Recipe adapted from dis one. OMG. You guys, these cookies are so cute and tasty. The truth is the idea stemmed from wanting to make lemon poppy seed cookies shaped like a dog because Elliot had fleas recently. Thought the vet would think it was funny. Ended not having any poppy seeds and I always have sprinkles, so here you are! Going to a cookie exchange? Need 3 dozen cookies? Make these tiny. Everyone loves a teeny…

Hunnybunch Hibiscus Punch

Remember when Charlotte (in Sex & the City, what else?!) was like, “maybe we’re each other’s soul mates and dudes are just fun cool people that come into our lives?!” This i my loose memory of the quote. And she was talking to her lady friends and I feel this way too! I’m 31, and am fortunate to have bomb-ass ladies in my life. Women who are independent and strong and show up for me…

Chocolate Swiss Roll (Turnin’ 31!)

My mom and I whipped up this cake the night before my birthday. We decorated a slice with candles and  sprinkles in the morning and all sampled it. (My mom is down with dessert for breakfast always. She’s an inspiration!) And just like that, I’m 31. While so much is great, things can still feel weird right?! Let’s all try to accept our lives for what’s up. Because so much is beautiful and I can…

Boozy Eggnog Milkshake w/ Maker’s 46

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,…

Matcha Rice Krispie Treats

Here are some random facts: the other night I dropped some zucchini while couch dinner-ing and never found it. I’m ok with nachos burning my tongue if they’re good enough. Rosé motivates me to clean, so my apartment is REALLY clean right now. And two dudes at work took one bite of these and threw them in the trash because they evidently don’t like matcha? I obvz unfriended them on all forms of social media…
