I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I’ve been thinking about throwing my worries in the Grand Canyon. And about how perfect tiny strawberries can be turned into edible gems! And I’ve been thinking about strawberry shortcake, and how I want to eat every single remix of it. You can’t have too many shortcake versions. Just like you can’t have too many chocolate chip cookie variations! This shortcake remix is just about as good as the Mariah…
I can’t eat oatmeal on it’s own: in a bowl, topped with milk, at the table. I just can’t. But I promise that I will eat it in cookies, scones, and muffins. I will eat these guys standing in the kitchen, over my computer, with a fork (when they’re too hot), and in my backyard with the pup. Breakfast is my favorite. I wake up hungry. And so, on the weekend, I daydream about warm biscuits,…
It’s time for summery breakfasts. Breakfast to match our no-sleeves and shortie shorts. Let’s fill our pockets with snacks and go for a long walk. Let’s fill our bagels with berries and top them like they’re donuts. These bagels may be a two-day ordeal, but don’t let that stop you. The first day is no biggie, and the second day involves boiling and baking. It pairs perfectly with morning coffee and mis-matched pajama wearing. I…

I made a cake for Easter. I made a cake and I messed it up. I put room temperature butter in at the beginning instead of melted butter at the end. The batter looked like cookie dough and baked up all flat-like. I mean, it wasn’t gross, but it was ugly. There was even a point where I was standing there looking blankly out the window holding half of one of the flat layers in…
It’s time for a change. Maybe I need to cut my hair (ah! no!) or maybe I need to move furniture around and make a breakfast nook in my flat. Maybe I need to stop eating my lunch standing in the kitchen or doing dishes with my coat on. Maybe I need to eat charcuterie for lunch more often, or maybe I need to get ice cream every day. I’m not sure what I need…
My favorite day is Sunday because lately it involves a good breakfast, bike-riding, and beers. Yesterday this was the breakfast that got my day going. It was a good start to a day full of sunshine. And I think I’m tan! … and by tan I mean kinda freckled. I want you guys to know something. I want you to know that nobody feels like the third wheel in this breakfast. Strawberry jam, brie, and…
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…
I love goat cheese. I’d like it to be my Valentine. I love it in crepes, on pizza, on quesadillas, and now in a tart. I was impatient about this already easy-breezy-speedy tart. It came together in about 30 minutes and then I only chilled it for 20 minutes before slicing (instead of the recommended 2 hours). … the crust was a bit crumbly. It didn’t ruin anything though. Jake didn’t judge it. (I maybe…
If you want to impress your dog bake him these treats. If you want to impress your bread, make this jam. If you want to impress your sisters, make strawberry infused vodka and orange creamsicle ice cream floats. My sisters aren’t my neighbors. One lives in Illinois, the other lives in Minnesota. So when I knew these two lovely ladies were going to stay with me this weekend, I knew I needed to get girly with…
