A few years ago a girl told me about black bean brownies and I thought it sounded real cray. Like how can that be a thing?! But during my lil vegan phase after New Orleans I gave these a go. I loved them so much that I didn’t even share them! Instead I put them in the freezer and ate them at my leisure for days. These will help you believe in magic and dreams because…
Sometimes it feels weird to listen to Tegan & Sara while your landlord fixes the thermostat. Sometimes it’s more weird for your heat to go out like 5 times though in a few months! But the truth is Elliot really loves the landlord? Almost as much as this one plumber from a long time ago. I don’t know what it was about that dude! Elliot ran laps of the apartment! Maybe he was a plumber…
Things are happening, you guys. So, I don’t know if you cool folks follow me on Instagram, but if you do then you know that Friday was full of last day donuts, lattes, and pizza. It’s transition time, and I’m excited about it! New year, new job, new (to me) couch, new shoes, new ice cream flavor. Let’s look ahead, ok? Speaking of ice cream, this flavor is totally my current favorite. Not only is…
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…
Well, it snowed here in Detroit. And it’s super cute until your car gets stuck. I guess I should probably leave my car in it’s parking spot until spring and spend all of my time baking cookie bar mountain towns for all the mini deer and trees in my life. It’s the only answer that makes sense, ya know? So come on over! I’ll make you sit by my pink christmas tree with a cookie…
Please try to ignore that little dent in the top of the loaf where I tried to flick it for that “hollow” sound and just flicked the hell out of it. Please try to ignore the fact that I can easily take down a loaf of bread in a single lady household. Please make this as soon as you possibly can. You see, I like to slice a homemade loaf, and package it up in…
I’m so lucky! My mom and sister, Laura, came to visit for the weekend. We went out for churros, strolled through Eastern Market and bought bouquets of flowers, and went out for sliders. My mom and I mixed up whoopie pie filling and fluffy pancake batter. My sister and I sipped Euro-beers and well, I’m just glad that I had these lovely ladies visiting this weekend. Sometimes you just need to be around people who…
I’ve got you guys covered. You see, I totally understand that post dinner emergency where you need something sweet, and you end up eating a handful of chocolate chips. (You guys do that too, right?) The last of your frozen cookies are gone and the fudgesicles are but a memory. You just need one bite of chocolate to get you through the evening, and that’s where these pops come in. They’re inspired by salty-sweet livin’,…
I have absolutely no idea where I’ll be in a year. I’m not sure who my main hang will be or even what’s for dinner tonight. What I do know is that uncertainty can be exciting, brunch should happen every weekend, and ricotta should be in every pancake. I was thinking that I’d go out to Easter brunch this year, but then I started thinking about the pancakes and omelet of my dreams, and figured…
These taste just like the no bake cookies from my childhood, but they are wearing cupcake outfits. And they have coconut oil in them instead of butter! You could always pipe a tall billowy frosting on top of these guys. They’d be perfect for a birthday party of the toasty variety. Just no bake some cupcakes and live your life! So, these are healthy little morsels to get you through your week. Pair these with a…
