Saveur Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Well, I’m 29, you guys. I’ve turned into someone who analyzes smile lines (face wrankles) and is worried about the frump factor in my license photo. (But really, why did they make those photos bigger and way yellow-er in tone?) It was the wrong time to experiment with a center-part and I’m really considering a $60 night cream. Hashtag honesty hour. Cookies help though. These cookies are covered in smile lines and they’re total babes!…

Chocolate Crunch Bars

This week has had it’s ups and downs. Let’s focus on the ups though! Like the fact that I glittered every single finger nail and it turns out that this particular polish is better than any top coat ever! I painted them on Sunday and there’s no chip in sight! Last weekend, I totally picked up my girl Cindy’s couch to replace my super sad and ripped (but super-cute mid-century) couch. Turns out I forgot…

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Cups with Fudge and Cookies + DIY Packaging

Hey guys. I’m going to be honest. I have no scissor skills. Cutting out a perfect circle just isn’t going to happen. I give tend to give circles corners. And I’m also not vegan. I ate blue cheese in my car once. However, I do think it’s important to have delicious vegan options up my sleeve. And I also think that presentation is key. Lately, I’ve been on an ice cream kick, ya know? So…

The Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream In The World

It takes me 1 1/2 blocks (driving) to finish a toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese. It takes me the opening song of The Wire to finish my cornbread pizza. It takes me the 30 minutes before leaving for dinner to make this ice cream, leaving me just enough time to switch my shoes and put on lipstick. Do you ever buy the ingredients to make something discovering that you can’t make it until…

Chocolate Thursday Cake

Yesterday I ate some of this cake on my lunch break. I sampled that jam-covered slice before making a salad. Balance, right? And last night I judged some desserts. I might’ve eaten 10 desserts before dinner. Oh jeez. I’ve got a problem. I think I’m ok with it though. This cake is brownie-esque. It’s super chocolate-y good. And it’s the kind of cake that you can make willy-nilly on a weeknight! One bowl, one pan,…

Dairy-Free Stout Float

What’s the deal with the late 20’s? Sometimes I feel like the only thing I have sorted out is how to make a solid dinner out of a sandwich and fries. Or how to pair beer, ice cream, and chocolate in a tasty way. But it’s ok not to have everything figured out, right? Who knows how things will be in a year? That can be kinda exciting, I think. P.S.  I’ve dreamed of having a Guinness…

Chocolate Chip Cookies Forever

Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…
