Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Ice Pops

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…

Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

I made these a couple weeks ago. Since then, I’ve felt good, bad, tired, awake, tipsy, distracted, worried, fine, super happy, super anxious, lucky, weird, cold, hot, fast and slow. I invested in high-waisted pants because what if I died tomorrow?! I’d want to die in cute pants. I put some nail business on my credit card, ate sliders like cookies, drank pink wine, bonded with my mom, bought a “werk it” bracelet, slept to…

My Favorite Oatmeal Breakfast

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…

Seriously Delish Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

Thursdays are my day. You see, I took them off work indefinitely to get my other stuff done. I’ve got important things to do today. For example, I put make-up on today fully intending to nap in it. I’m also going to clean up the stuff that’s strewn and do the dishes and make a serious Thanksgiving grocery list. The best part is that these days normally start with coffee and splitting a donut and a…

Cocoa Pebble Cereal Milk Pudding

You see, my mom’s not kidding when she says that I use every dish in the kitchen when I make stuff. I used a ridiculous amount of dishes to get these 4 little pudding cups. I strained it twice. (The malt powder was chunky and dumb, and I should’ve sifted it f’real). BUT! I promise you won’t use as many dishes as I did, and I promise you’ll love this a ton even if you’re a…

Boozy Chocolate Bourbon Parfaits

Guys. I’m making Thanksgiving dinner this year. (Please leave turkey tips in the comments, f’real.) And I have this thing where I’m all “We need at least 3, maybe 4 desserts.” But the truth is, that’s kinda cray. So this year I’m making 2 desserts. THIS is one of them! Except they’ll be mini-mini, and probably will have whipped cream on top, and maybe chocolate turkeys. (There won’t be any chocolate poultry, I promise.) Unfortunately, I’m…

Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Because my freezer is forever stocked, grandma-style, with pizza dough, waffles, and (now) cookies. Because I paint pumpkins, real-quick, after work and before dinner. Because I sometimes pick beers over runs and granola bars over lunch and sleeping in over timeliness. Because I want to pack my favorite books in my work bag, just-in-case, and because I slept better in California than anywhere it seems, and because I feel more like myself now than I…

Pretzel Cinnamini Rolls

I learned that it’s not the best idea to grab a dog treat mid-run and put it in your pants pocket. Chances are you’ll forget to give it to the pup and will just launder it, ya know? I learned that storing a twinkie pan on the stairs is a bad idea. Especially when carrying laundry because then you’ll most definitely not see that pan and it’ll be a banana peel slip and fall situation. I…
