The 8th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party + Door-to-Door Organics giveaway

By Megan | February 23, 2016February 23, 2016 by Megan

OMG, you guys. This year my Valentine’s Brunch got to happen ON Valentine’s Day. If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is. The party was sponsored by Door-to-Door Organics. It made party prep so much easier! Most of the party groceries were delivered RIGHT to my door. What a dream! Pictured above: BLT sliders*, Yam and feta quiche, and asparagus croque monsiers using this gruyere of my dreams. *Pesto, goat cheese, crispy prosciutto and tomato…

Sweet Potato Feta Quiche with a Polenta Crust (gluten-free)

By Megan | January 17, 2016 by Megan

Deep dish quiche. That’s what we’re talking about here. It’s like we’re just hangin’ in Chicago eating quiche type quiche. And let me just tell ya this. Plz use instant polenta. Nobody wants to lose those 10 minutes whisking when it can be already in the oven, ya dig? Also, this quiche is my favorite and I kinda want to make it again as soon as it’s gone. I also want to make a for…

My Favorite French Toast (Oui!)

By Megan | September 28, 2015September 27, 2015 by Megan

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…

Mum Visit (a recap)

By Megan | May 18, 2015May 18, 2015 by Megan

I hung up decorations in my room so my mom had a party room while I couched it. Elliot made sure it was comfy and fun in there. I gave her some Frank body scrub and we got manicures and brunch and sprinkled confetti on the sidewalk and took Photo Booth pictures and had such a nice time! So last Friday, I picked her up from the airport and we headed straight to dinner! We…

The 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch

By Megan | February 19, 2015 by Megan

Sunday was the 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch! And it was super fun. It involved: cheese plates, mimosas, a few fried things and even flower crowns. (They’re pretty easy to make, if you can even believe it). We all hung out and ate tons of food and drank mimosas by the pitcher. I kinda wish I would’ve eaten more! And my friends did secret dishes and it made the clean-up so much easier. I feel so lucky…

Braided Cinnamon Bread

By Megan | November 16, 2014November 16, 2014 by Megan

I’ve been wanting to swirly-twirl braid up some cinnamon rolls for awhile. It’s way easier than fish-tail braiding hair. I mean, I assume so since I didn’t have to watch a youtube tutorial in order to get this dough swirled, twirled, and ready to head out on the town… That is, if “head out” means riding on a rainbow potholder on the floor of your car and “the town” is your boyfriend’s house. I’d recommend baking…

I went to Pittsburgh!

By Megan | May 2, 2013May 1, 2013 by Megan

I was trying to sort out a weekend getaway, when my friend Katie suggested Pittsburgh. Turns out it’s just a breezy 4-ish hours from Detroit so it’s kinda the perfect spot to venture for a quick trip. Having never been there is reason enough to go, right? P.S. Katie and her husband Mark started a travel blog. Check it out! The first night consisted of walking to get pre-dinner beers in lobster glasses. A big glass of water…

The 5th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party

By Megan | February 12, 2013February 11, 2013 by Megan

Sunday was the 5th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party! It just might’ve been my favorite year yet. A record number of champagne was consumed, and people stayed later than ever! I wanted to switch up the decorations this year, so I made this big fringe garland! And it ended up so pretty! I might want to leave it up for my whole life. For the savory goodness I made Focaccia Cakes with Spinach Dip filling, Avocado Deviled…

Birthday Crepe Cake

By Megan | December 31, 2012December 31, 2012 by Megan

I’ve daydreamed about ruffly crepe cakes for years! So, I figured it was time to finally do it! I was lucky enough to have my parents in town, so my mom and I stood around the kitchen flipping crepes for awhile before dinner. I showed her how I swirl the batter, she showed me how dance around with a spatula. My birthday morning was a brunch party! My parents, brother, and I enjoyed skrovaires (Romanian…

The 4th Annual Valentine’s Brunch Party

By Megan | February 14, 2012 by Megan

Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we celebrated with brunch (again)! The flat is currently covered in pink, red, and gold. There are buntings, fringe, and glitter everywhere. I’m pretty sure it’s on my face right now. I was super into painting things gold and fringe, this year. I even gave the table a fringe-y skirt since the craft paper wasn’t wide enough to cover the whole thing. (Lookin’ good, table!) Eventually I put some chili…
