Honestly, the fact that I ate 3 Reese’s pumpkins in a row today make me so glad that I drink my coffee black. Occasionally I get a splash of coconut milk in it, but generally order coffee with additional coffee in it. Kinda every morning. So just know that this coffee is a way to enjoy black coffee with some added flava. Because you see, when I was in Nashville a few months ago I got a…
It’s 8:30pm and I feel like I could fall asleep right here in my living room with Beyonce playing and my pink, not-christmas, tree lit up. My apartment smells like maple syrup from some granola I made for work-time snacking. You see, I’m tired. I think it has to do a little bit with getting used to a new job, a little bit to do with the fact that I woke up early today for…
I have these memories, as a kid, of my mom making biscuits at all hours. Sometimes a gal just needs a biscuit, ya know? Sometimes it’d be an evening craving and we’d all eat warm biscuits with butter or honey or jam before bed. Now I know that I’m doing alright by when I get super biscuit-hungry. Things are ok! There are warm biscuits! They make me most happy on a weekend morning while the…
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…
I sing this song in the car almost every day. It might’ve replaced Kelly Clarkston’s Since You’ve Been Gone in the sing-in-the-car-way. Both are about love gone wrong though, so they have so much in common. What I’m trying to say is that, I know that I’m feeling ok based on whether I sing in the car or not. That’s how I figure out how I’m doin’. And nothing gives me a reason to sing…
Happy First Day of Summer! Let’s spend the toasty days making all the chocolate ice cream, ok? Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream // Chocolate Ice Cream Dark Chocolate Sorbet // Chocolate Frozen Yogurt + Cookie Dough Chocolate Orange Sherbet for Two // The Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream
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…
My flat smells like toast, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I go to bed at night dreaming of popping this swirly twirly dream in the toaster. I savor the hell out of every bite. It’s basically the toast version of these Orange Rolls, so I’m kinda obsessed. And I’m pretty excited about the fact that I have an entire spare loaf in my freezer! Toast forever! Also, do me a favor and don’t…
I made really delicious bread over the weekend, and the first slice was a major hottie! But, you guys there was a cave in there! A bread crevice that leads to a carb-version of Narnia, no doubt. That bread will be in your future and mine though again. Keep your little eyes peeled! These cookies aren’t bread. They are, instead, a black and white cookie remixed to be all LOVEly. I’m super into them. I…
Are you guys ready for Christmas? In my head and heart Christmas is next month, next year, not next week. But at least I have a fun 60’s aluminum tree up with approximately 4 ornaments on it. And at least I wrote Bah Humbug on my chalkboard, right? And at least I put some gold tinsel up and some pink snowflakes on the windows. I’m trying, you guys. Although, I haven’t baked any Christmas cookies…
