I ate one of these cookies before dinner yesterday. It was a cookie appetizer, and it was necessary. Then I made a salad for dinner, ate a truffle santa, and listened to Mariah Carey Fantasy the remix. Just an average night, really. But these cookies are the opposite of average. They are super lemony refreshing! One glance at their casual outfits, you wouldn’t suspect the tasty citrus flavor punch sandwiched in each bite. (Are you…
Zingerman’s Deli is one of my favorite places ever. I went there again yesterday and stood in line for awhile trying to decide whether I should get the Nathan’s Double Play hot dog of my dreams (I’ve gotten it twice!) or Randolph’s Grand Debut. I opted for the sandwich because I’ve wanted to try a croque monsieur for a long time. It was delicious! I might need to go back soon and get that hot…
I find bread to be super comforting. So, let’s split a piece of warm bread right out of the oven ok? We can talk at the kitchen table. Let’s feel our feelings while snacking. Let’s turn off the heat and turn on the oven. The truth is, I’ll always want the biggest breadstick if out dining out. I’ll probably want to eat your corn bread right off your plate. I might make two pieces of…
I’m a Biscoff bully. Believe it. Since purchasing Speculoos Cookie Butter I’ve pretty much made everyone who stops by my house try it. There’s a three spoonful minimum. It’s a fact, and it’s ok. You see, it tastes like spicy graham cracker goodness. It’s my dream butta’. It’s just delicious and confusing. It’s just the kind of thing that you can’t get enough of. It’s puzzling and awesome at the same time. And it’s thoughtful!…
On the way home from the grocery store, while snacking on tortilla chips I just bought, I thought about how it’d be cool if salsa-filled tortilla chips was a thing. When I got home one of my grocery bag handles broke off. Then I proceeded to fall up the stairs tripping over my own feet. Just your average Sunday grocery shopping situation, right? These scones, on the other hand, are not average. They are also…
My mom was in town last weekend! So I made sure to take her to my favorite places. We went to Taqueria Lupita’s for dinner for carnitas tacos and then walked down to La Gloria Bakery for churros and the cutest cookies ever. (I can’t wait to go back to try their pork tamales!) We went to Eastern Market on Saturday morning for strawberries and rhubarb to make pie! We couldn’t resist the daffodils either. For dinner I used some…
Let’s have waffles instead of bread. Let’s make sandwiches on pancakes. Let’s confuse our lunch with breakfast. Let’s live life like one big brunch. Let’s gaze at bubbliness. Let’s think some more about how yeast is magical. Let’s high-five the new waffle-maker. I’m Monte Cristo crazy. I’ve recently ordered Monte Cristo French Toast. I’ve eaten Monte Cristo Crepes. I made mini Monte Cristo sandwiches for new year’s eve. So just know that you’re the Monte…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them and…
It’s kinda gross here in the mitten. It’s soggy and rainy. The sky should probably be filled with magical and thoughtful snowflakes. The kind that don’t interfere with driving and sure don’t make the sidewalk slippery when wearing high heels. This snow is more of an ambiance thing that induces the need to watch Love Actually and make a warm cozy dinner. You should probably eat this soup in a room lit only with Christmas…
