Let’s start with another side note: I’m going to Seattle and Portland this week!!! Probably gonna eat all this stuff again if there’s time. I really drew out these Portland, posts, eh? But it’s just my favorite city I’ve ever been to so far in my 30 years of life so… Salt & Straw‘s ice cream is a dream. And look at those sprinkles?! They aren’t your average joe spranks. I got both chocolate AND…
Yesterday was the 1st day of summer! I celebrated it by giving my picnic table a fresh coat of paint and making this pizza! (And staying in bed until 1 with a headache because of too many grapefruit fizz drinks and summer beers, but whatev.) So I grilled up a bunch of veggies in my fridge, while the dough rose. I ate this while watching Orange is the New Black because well, this season is…
A couple weekends ago, Ben and I went to Kentucky! There were a few reasons for this trip. The traveling tattoo artist we like (and who did my mermaid and Ben’s rose!) was going to be there, his parents live there AND there is a wigwam hotel just an hour and half from Louisville where we knew we wanted to stay. Wigwam Village is in Cave City. It is a TEENY town where things close super…
You guys, it’s spring. For real. It’s time to crack the windows, bake cookies for work, pizza for your favorites, and granola for the hotties in your life. Below are 3 recipes from my Instagram that I really think you guys should know about. I mean, sometimes baking and dancing happens on a weeknight and there’s no time for photographing these in a fancy manor… So here you go! I really loved these whoopie pies.…
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…
Sometimes my hunger sneaks up on me and I require dinner on the quick. Sometimes on these nights I’m feeling too lazy to grate cheese. (Who am I!?) That’s where this pizza comes in. The best part, besides it’s tastiness, is that this can be whipped up and ready to eat in under 30 minutes. There’s just no reason not to make this all will-nilly-like, ya’ know? It’s a breeze to throw together and goodness…
While making this pizza I thought of a joke… It goes like this: Which cheese is the loneliest? (Any idea? Do you know!?) ProvALONE. Boom. … And then I realized that’s not how you spell it. It’s provolone. Shucks. Worst joke ever? Maybe, because of the whole spelling issue, it’s the kind of joke that can only be told aloud. So anyhow, I had a pizza like this at Roberta’s in New York and I loved it.…
This pizza is (currently) the best pizza of my whole world. Instead of sauce there’s an awesome mushroom pesto involving roasted mushrooms and rehydrated mushrooms. It’s mushroom crazy. And I’m crazy in love with it. Oh, and do you guys use a rolling pin when you get pizza dough ready? I’m totally into just using my fingertips to stretch it. Occasionally I pick up the dough round and dangle it so it can stretch even…
I think Fergie would like this pizza. She’d probably sing about it as her “lovely lady lunch”. She’d probably make Will.i.am rap about it. You see, this pizza is ladylike. It would be the perfect tea-party pizza. (If pizza was served at tea-parties.) Although, I’d rather skip the tea and have a peach beer with this. But you can do what you want. Did you know that strawberries could be sliced like that and put…
First of all, can you believe how casual I was about this pizza dough in the Spinach Dip Bites post? I mean… who do I think I am? So here it is in it’s own post along with a big dose of respect. (Oh! Slicing your own peps is where it’s at. Ask anybody! Ask Jake!) Just know that this is our favorite, straight-up, no-nonsense pizza dough. Jake generally makes it because he’s a G…
