What do you do when you are in a funk? I find that there a few things I do. I cheer myself up by wearing my most favorite high-healed clogs that make boring outfits look hip. Walking Elliot always helps. In those minutes we are outside and he’s prancy-walking and I’m girly-walking, things are good. Putting beer in cake and browning butter for a glaze helps too. My day got a lot better once this…
Since these are best warm, I ate three. Three’s not a crowd in my belly. I’m glad these worked out and taste like heaven … especially since I tried to make pumpkin goodness, but messed it up by using too much evaporated milk because I don’t know what a “tall can” is. But these made me feel way better! I think I’ll make these the next time I get my hair cut and the stylist…
When I was a kid, I thought carrot cake was super gross. Now I know better. It’s not scary at all; it’s just a really pretty orange spice cake with cream cheese frosting. I grated a pound of carrots. (While grating, I wondered why the YMCA doesn’t have a carrot-grating class, because it wore my arms out.) Anyhow, I grated them really teeny so that they wouldn’t be weird and crunchy in the cake, but…
There’s this restaurant that has an apple pancake similar to this. I order it sometimes. And let me tell you, I’m a champ. I’ve finished the whole thing. With that said, I’m trying to be a lady. So I’m saying this serves four. Four ladies such as myself that don’t consider a sliver of this enough, but can’t justify eating this whole pancake on a Sunday while watching the Law and Order SVU scare-a-thon. I…
Next week I’m going to the dentist and I’m getting my hair cut. I’m doing my best to have a sparkling smile and to not look like a ragamuffin. Next week I am going to go to pilates and I’m going to bundle up for walks. I’m going to wear ankle boots and not trip over the curb in front of strangers on a Tuesday. I’ll do my best not to cough because I breathed…
Biscuits topped with honey are my favorite. They’re about as homey as mac and cheese and high school music. So take the fall remix of that love and bake it. You’ll end up with these! I ate two of these with dinner. One as an appetizer because I couldn’t resist waiting, and the other one during the meal. I really wanted to have a third for dessert, but I couldn’t go crazy, right? Even though…
I can’t do it, you guys. I can’t muster up motivation to vacuum. We get the keys to the new place tomorrow, and I just can’t bring myself to dust anymore. I just want to clean there and not here anymore. Do you see my point? Do you see that graham cracker bird, right there? This recipe is all about oats getting toasty with almonds. It has a little bit to do with honey and…
I’ve been called “Sir” twice in my life. The first time was when I was working at a tuxedo rental shop. I was wearing a polka dotted dress and looking very much like a lady. But after this guy was all sized up for his tux, he said, “Thank you, Sir”, and scurried out. He returned momentarily and gave me a dollar for a tip … I think he was just giving me a dollar…
Consider these the hip cousin of the petit four. Or just consider it tasty, and slice it into big pieces instead. Laura over at Rather Be Baking knows what’s up. I believed her when she said to trust her on this cake. She’s totally right; it’s the best. This is just the perfect weeknight cake. It comes together quickly, in one bowl and bakes up in only 30 minutes. Chances are you’ll want to keep eating…
First of all, please don’t judge me for eating french fries two days in a row. And, please just know that two glazes are better than one. Always. So maybe two days of french fries is better than one? We are a few days into September, so it’s only right to get moving with the pumpkin love. And these scones are the perfect start. They are mini, so you can eat them two days in…
