I ate one of these out of the freezer when I discovered it late last Wednesday. Sometimes after a night of lady chit chat and hanging out and having many drinks and a teeny amount of dinner and eating a truffle at the bar, you just need a little whoopie pie monster night cap? Or maybe that’s just how I lived last week, and that’s coo with me. I know I promised to post these…
I don’t know when I stopped eating cereal… I think my mornings have gotten cut short in the breakfast department. The truth is, I’d rather have waffles anyway. And so I figured I should Sunday brunch it waffle-style and freeze a bunch for mornings during the week. Then I can toast them, cut them, dunk them, and eat them as casually as I would cereal, or a granola bar, or a yogurt parfait situation. I’m just…
Because breakfast wins best meal award*. (*Based on the dessert-as-a-meal-thing, obvz.) Because my countertops are covered with dishes and my bed is covered with laundry. Because my car seats are covered in sesame seeds from emergency bagel-ing on the regular. Because I’m good at running out of milk, cereal, bread for toasting, and general breakfast foods. Because I took a 2-hour nap Saturday and then ran out of daylight. Because my favorite cowboy boots are…
Sometimes my horoscope sounds like a card in Monopoly. It’s all “Your plumbing might have problems. Get an estimate!” Other times, Susan Miller is all, “October is HARD. Mid-November your life will begin to sparkle again.” I’m pushing my way through these early fall months with ice cream. My days can sparkle a little bit here and there based on bites of this stuff, ya know? And I’ve been wearing my frumpy fleece and walking…
I like a day ending with a churro, and so it’s just a fact that I like a dessert that can be dunked. These aren’t churros, but are salty and maple-y shortbread cut into fries that can be dunked at your leisure. They’re super tasty dunked in Nutella (but what isn’t?) but would also be tasty dipped into jam or blueberry coulis. But beware, you might want to eat quite a few of these. In…
Donuts are a gateway food. I mean, every time someone brings donuts to work, or to a photo shoot, I keep it cool and (almost always) contain myself. It’s because I know that in my heart I just want to eat at least three of them. (A sprinkle one, a chocolate one, and a blueberry one.) So I finally made them! With a variety of glazes, to boot. So you better believe I ate three.…
If you ask me what I want for breakfast, I’ll most def say PANCAKES! … unless I say waffles. But most the time, I want pancakes. So much so, that I have a little chalkboard in the kitchen with a basic buttermilk recipe written out for pancaking on the quick! So, why not have a cookie that tastes like that breakfast favorite? Why not stack them and eat 8 at time, snack-style? Basically I’m into maple-y…
It’s just one of those weeks. The kind where I bought 2 bottles of shampoo, thinking I had a conditioner. And my alarm was set for early o’clock more often than not. But it’s all good now because we have cider and donut cupcakes! And tomorrow is Jake’s birthday so we are going to eat good food and go on adventures all weekend. And fall is the best time for birthdays. Because then you can…
This ice cream tastes like Thanksgiving. It tastes like the first sweet potatoes I ever liked served sweet (since I tend to like my sweet potatoes in a quesadilla). You see, last thanksgiving, my mom made the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for sweet potatoes, and they tasted like heaven. They had a streusel-ish topping with pecans. But really, what’s better than a dessert in a side dish’s outfit? Here’s my question: could you serve this ice cream with your…
Unlike these scones, I never wear khaki. At least I haven’t since I worked at the Coffee Beanery, in high school. But these scones can look supercool in khaki like Kendi. That’s not easy. They’re just a fashionable breakfast. P.S. I opted to blend up the rolled oats so that these would have an awesome texture instead of a weird texture. Also because blending oats happens in these cookies, and it works out swimmingly. But give…
