What does it mean if you want to add googly eyes to everything? What if peeps be thinking that these specific eyeballs are creepy? What if my first thought was that it was more funny than weird, but maybe I don’t know things?! Time to read some confidence-building Pinterest quotes amiright?! Let’s cross-stitch this on a pillow and post it in in our quotes board and call it a DAY: These taste like pie, so…
I think hibiscus tastes like crunch berries. And I recently found some hibiscus powder! I’ve been wanting to add it to everything! Hibiscuits and pancakes and scones and cookies. So there will probably more purple food coming up. That’s all. So let’s eat magic pancakes, then go to the farmers market, and then make snow cones. SaturYAY! Strawberry Hibiscus Pancakes Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker Ingredients: 1 flax egg (1 T ground flax seeds + 2 T…
Because it’s spring, cherry blossoms are blooming, avocados have been on point, naps have been doable, lady friends have been the best, lipstick choices have been nice and dark, daffodils are blooming, the clouds have been real Simpon-y, walks to dinner have been happening, late night hummus is what’s up, sprinkles on everything is real unnecessarily good, fries have been shared, cookies have been baked. So have a shortbread cookie in the morning instead of a…
When I’m feelin’ down or maybe just in need of edible comfort, I opt for pierogi. Normally I pop by the market on my home, buy a pack of locally made dumplings and drink a beer while they sizzle and tell myself I’ll only eat some of them them and then I eat all of them. But mostly, just know that these can be made at your house, or at your lady friend’s house while…
Whoa. This is what it looks like when granites, snow cones, mint juleps and bourbon collide. And it’s delicious. I’d recommend handing one of these to everyone with a summer birthday. Put a candle in it! Top it with sprinkles! Sip it in the backyard in your pajama’s best while your dog lounges in the sun. Sip it on the porch while you wait for a ride. CHUG it when your car is in the…
Did you know that if you freeze these big ole cookies and then wrap them up individually, pop them in your pocket, and go to the movies they’ll thaw in about 10 minutes. I mean, you might end up eating it before the previews even start. You might pretend you’re only going to eat half and will re-wrap it and return it to your coat pocket like a golden girl. And by you, I mean…
I’ve always been a bit whatever about oatmeal. I mean, those lil satchels with maple brown sugar goodness from my childhood? I’m kinda into those. But oatmeal served up adult-style? Nah. Until I tried making it with almond milk infused with a bit of vanilla, cinnamon and honey. THEN things changed for me. I’ve been making this basically every morning. I think my mom is probably totally proud. She’s always been an oatmeal-loving-lady. Ordering it…
This drink is my favorite. I kinda won’t shut up about it. Sorry, guys. But mostly once you make it you’ll probably want to shout it from the rooftops too. And if you don’t have a rooftop, then maybe from the top of your picnic table like the neighbor dog that barks incessantly and sounds like he swallowed a speaker and then is barking through it somehow. It is really the un-cutest especially at 2am, however…
What day is it? I mean, I made these shortie cakes for the 4th of July to be eaten near a pool with a bikini on. (It happened.) Next thing I know it’s a week later, and I’ve been spending my week sleeping, eating popsicles, forgetting dinner, baking cookies, sleeping some more, and over explaining giant lunch-wiches. I guess sometimes summer just clobbers you, ya know? I’m probably not making a ton of sense. I blame it…
– Contest Closed – My favorite summer-time memory, growing up, was when my mom would make strawberry shortcake for dinner. She would make it cake-style. She’d bake up a giant round biscuit and slice it down the center. She’d fill it with juicy strawberries and whipped cream. We’d each get a giant slice served up in a bowl for dinner! This might be a giant reason why I love this dessert so much, ya know?…
