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…
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…
Hey guys, let’s host dessert parties every weekend for the rest of summer, ok? Ice cream dinners, and á la mode weeks. I want my Thursdays to be like my sundaes, ya know? So check out this little party I did for Betty Crocker, if you want. Set up a table with pie crust options, fillings, and toppings. Set out your favorite ice cream cups and mis-matched spoons. Get crazy and put oreo in the lemon curd,…
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…
There was a dark time in my life where I didn’t like French toast. I’d had too many soggy, weird, egg-y situations. Even out on the town, it was disapointment-ville. BUT then I learned the secret. A combo of using stale (homemade) bread that will keep it’s cool when under pressure or submerged in liquid AND, secondly, infusing the milk. Why dunk your bread in plain old milk, when you can infuse it with a…
Well, I made that chipotle chicken chili again. You see, I’ve been the worst lunch-bringer during the workweek. So this week I’ll have lunch for days! And I also ensured that there’s post-chili ice cream. It’s just, you’re the dinner to my dessert, the cherry on top of my Monday, and cocoa puffs in my ice cream, ya know? I added a bit of Nutella and malt powder and it accentuates the cocoa puffs. I…
I had a wild and crazy weekend. And by wild, I mean I was baking all Friday night (making the dessert for my friend’s baby shower) and ended up with brownie batter on my bra strap. And by crazy, I painted a pretty solid heart on my nails (Valentine-mani style) on Saturday night. Sunday, after a solid breakfast, I decided to make some salted caramel sauce and pop it into three recipes for you guys…
You guys, I keep buying a dozen eggs and then a dozen more. I guess I’m super scared to run out ever, ya know? They’re my go-to lunch and my emergency single-lady dinner. And what if I need to make a french silk pie? So, I’ve had eggs to spare just begging to turn into a angel food cake. How could I say no? And I’ve had an angel food cake pan just dying to be…
The other day, while eating on the patio of a local brewery, I glanced over and saw a truck drive by with two shiba inu pups looking out at me; one white one and one tan one. I felt so lucky to get to see those cute little guys! I’m so glad I looked! I also feel lucky to live in a world where peaches exist. They’re just really pretty, and so tasty. And they…
When I found sour cherries at the farmer’s market, I couldn’t believe it! They’re rare beauties! I knew I needed to get them and had to bake with them before it was too late! One of my worst fears is buying the prettiest produce and then saving it too long for the perfect recipe and ending up wasting them. It’s just super-rude of me when that happens. I haven’t made a cobbler in awhile, and…
