What’s been up, guys? Here’s some stuff that’s been going on. (Warning: this stuff is REAL crazy.) So, my mom bought me a mum plant. It was only a week before I realized it was missing! And by missing, I mean it blew off the porch and had dried out to a tumbleweed. (Sorry, mom!) I’m the worst at plants. AND then, I might’ve made Lemon Lentil Soup for a casual Monday dinner and forgot dill…
Hey guys, let’s host dessert parties every weekend for the rest of summer, ok? Ice cream dinners, and á la mode weeks. I want my Thursdays to be like my sundaes, ya know? So check out this little party I did for Betty Crocker, if you want. Set up a table with pie crust options, fillings, and toppings. Set out your favorite ice cream cups and mis-matched spoons. Get crazy and put oreo in the lemon curd,…
This drink is my favorite. I kinda won’t shut up about it. Sorry, guys. But mostly once you make it you’ll probably want to shout it from the rooftops too. And if you don’t have a rooftop, then maybe from the top of your picnic table like the neighbor dog that barks incessantly and sounds like he swallowed a speaker and then is barking through it somehow. It is really the un-cutest especially at 2am, however…
I learned that it’s not the best idea to grab a dog treat mid-run and put it in your pants pocket. Chances are you’ll forget to give it to the pup and will just launder it, ya know? I learned that storing a twinkie pan on the stairs is a bad idea. Especially when carrying laundry because then you’ll most definitely not see that pan and it’ll be a banana peel slip and fall situation. I…
Do you ever forget what you like to do? Maybe you used to like to get home from work, make dinner, sit in the backyard, but now… NOW you just want to eat a popsicle, take a nap, ride your bike, go to a coffee shop, hang out elsewhere. I know I’ll like popping home to make dinner again soon, but for right now I’m going to get a quesadilla while working on this stuff. I’m…
You guys, I’m heading to Chicago for the weekend! There are plans to drink beers and drinks and eat pizza and monkey bread and cinnamon rolls. So, it’s probably good that I prepped this week by snacking on this ice cream. I really sampled the hell out of it. I just wanted to get ready for my weekend AND make sure this was good, ya know? The base tastes like dough FO SHO. And there’s…
I was lucky enough to attend the Door-to-Door Organics Farm to Table Charity Dinner on Sunday. It was full of food, beers galore, lemon water, quite the appetizer situation, and was all happening inside a barn, during a storm! But you know what, you better believe I’ll stay wherever the ice cream sandwiches are. So thanks, for having me guys! Let’s eat radish toasts, lamb with cherries, and that awesome corn with eggplant again together soon!
First things first… These aren’t recommended picnic fare. You see, I brought them to work on this tray and popped them in a cooler for the morning and when they got to the picnic they were a hot mess. I’m talkin’ not cute. Rumor has it someone set something on them? I would like to thank my close work friends for at least trying these jerks (and liking them even!) despite their messed up demeanor. So anyhow!…
The thing is, I feel like I styled these muffins like Christmas. And I made these because I was craving this cake and because I had half of a vegan apple loaf guy for breakfast and sometimes a girl just needs a muffin. And my favorite muffin liners are parchment squares, my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, my least favorite holiday is Christmas, and I think I want to listen to this song on repeat,…
Turns out my self-control regarding cookies is kinda non-existent these days. I think it’s because I haven’t really grocery shopped. I bought berries and then didn’t make jam. I bought milk, but no cereal. I have teeny waffles in the freezer, but no peanut butter. I’ve been eating cookies for breakfast and sometimes as a lunch appetizer, and occasionally an after-run reward. I’m pretty glad (or not so glad) that there’s only one cookie left…
