Boozy Eggnog Milkshake w/ Maker’s 46

Things that make me happy: Elliot, brunch, NAPS, metallic shoes, pink Christmas trees, silver Christmas trees, mini Christmas trees and boozy milkshakes. So when Maker’s Mark contacted me and was all “Hey girl, want to make an eggnog cocktail with fancy bourbon?!” I responded with a super profesh-ish, “Hell yeah.” Or something like that. When I think of eggnog, I think of it kinda as drinking an ice cream base. Which is weird of me,…

Braided Cinnamon Bread

I’ve been wanting to swirly-twirl braid up some cinnamon rolls for awhile. It’s way easier than fish-tail braiding hair. I mean, I assume so since I didn’t have to watch a youtube tutorial in order to get this dough swirled, twirled, and ready to head out on the town… That is, if “head out” means riding on a rainbow potholder on the floor of your car and “the town” is your boyfriend’s house. I’d recommend baking…

Vanilla Bean, Brown Sugar, & Cinnamon Swirl Whole Wheat Bread

Here are some weirdo facts for ya. 1. I’m terrible at the dishes. You’d think living my life as a grown-up lady without a dishwasher for over 10 years that I’d have it together, but I don’t. I have to rewash stuff all the time. 2. When there’s a fly in the house I hold Elliot up and he catches it. Every time. He can catch flies, you guys. It’s like the dog skill equivalent…

Cinnamon Ice Cream

What’s been up, guys? Here’s some stuff that’s been going on. (Warning: this stuff is REAL crazy.) So, my mom bought me a mum plant. It was only a week before I realized it was missing! And by missing, I mean it blew off the porch and had dried out to a tumbleweed. (Sorry, mom!) I’m the worst at plants. AND then, I might’ve made Lemon Lentil Soup for a casual Monday dinner and forgot dill…

Double Dough Ice Cream

You guys, I’m heading to Chicago for the weekend! There are plans to drink beers and drinks and eat pizza and monkey bread and cinnamon rolls. So, it’s probably good that I prepped this week by snacking on this ice cream. I really sampled the hell out of it. I just wanted to get ready for my weekend AND make sure this was good, ya know? The base tastes like dough FO SHO. And there’s…

Vanilla Bean Funfetti Cake

I just don’t know what to say these days! Ask me where to get lunch and I feel like I have no idea what people eat. (Fajitas!?) Ask me what I had for dinner and I might’ve forgotten to eat and will have to get emergency fro-yo after yoga. Ask me where I’m headed on a walk, and I don’t know, but Elliot does. (I let him choose the way, always.) But ask me what…

Vanilla Bean Lemon Bars

Once, my friend Jessica brought me vanilla bean lemonade! And last week Cindy made Vanilla Mint Lemonade Pops, so the truth is vanilla bean and lemons are just meant to be! And I just love the speckles in these bars. I kinda want a dress in the exact pattern, ya know? The truth is, the vanilla is super subtle in these guys, but don’t let that stop you. These guys could win a contest based on…

Rhubarb Crumble Ice Cream

I like a little bit of consistency in life. I just like knowing there will always be blue cheese crumbles at the Whole Foods salad bar even if sometimes they only have fake chicken and no grated zucchini. I like to know that I’ve got party supplies in my desk at work in case I bring cookies in and need to put heart napkins out. I like to know that without a doubt ice cream…

Freckled Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade

Stephanie at Girl Versus Dough is having a baby! A girl! And if this isn’t a reason to put rhubarb in everything to make it ladylike and pink, I don’t know what is. So let’s make this lemonade and toast to Stephanie and the future little lady in her life. This lemonade could easily be frozen into ice pops. It could just as easily be mixed with vodka (not right now, Stephanie) for sipping in…
