Tart Cherry Graham Scones

On Friday I was all, “I just have to take off by 2:45 in order to make it to happy hour.” On Saturday I was all, “Gotta set my alarm! I have a brunch date at 10am.” You see, I like it when I have a tighter deadline due to happy hour plans and when I have to get up early for brunch. Some things are worth getting less sleep over. And other things, like scones, are good…

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Icing

Eat 5 cinnamon rolls, drink 4 cups of coffee, take 3 naps, buy 2 more pairs of coated leggings for Beyonce-style napping/living, and have 1 sweater that you wear every single day. And now we just have 5 weekdays, 4 new pink vintage glasses, 3 runs, 2 concerts, and one burrito a day. Because you see it just takes 1 night (for the dough to rise), 1 morning (to casually roll these out), 1 person (who’s…

Honey Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread

I’ve got breakfast covered for a couple weeks. I’m going to top this tan bread with butter, sea salt, and honey. I’m going to make toasty peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I’ll put a fried egg on it, no big deal. I’ll probably include this nook and crannied bread for 2 out of 3 meals a day, ya know? And this bread isn’t knead-y. Stir, pour, set aside to rise, bake. And then your weeks…

Chocolate Chip Cookies Forever

Because I’m hungry for every single chocolate chip cookie remix ever. Because the other day I pumped gas and it overflowed on my foot. Because it’s so cold in my apartment. Because I can’t find matching socks. Because I have dishes to put away. Because I’m currently using my pre-teen boom box to listen to music at home. Because I can’t save snacks until I’m hungry at work. Because I laid in the sun on…

Mom’s Wheat Bread (revisited)

I’d like to spend January hibernating and waking up to warm bread. I want grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch every day. Preferably with smashed avocado, mozzarella, and goat cheese. And this bread makes awesome toast. It’s perfectly sweet with honey or maple syrup. For this particular loaf I used a brown sugar and maple syrup combo. So, I hope your weeks are full of warm bread and the best toast. I hope you never run…

Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Shortcakes

These shortcakes have me thinking all kinds of things. Like, I definitely need to have a shortcake party. And that there’s a chance I could be open to love with greek yogurt. And where has this deer plate been all my life? I really love it, even though everyone knows bucks are deadbeat dads. Not cool, bucks. Not cool, at all. Now the beginning of Bambie is even sadder, ya know? Jeez. But let’s refocus.…

Roasted Beet Pesto

Sometimes I feel like the girliest girl ever. Like the 2nd grade me who wore entire pink corduroy outfit situations. You see, I just painted my nails neon pink. Sometimes I look through my phone to show friends a quote on pinterest that totally relates to the topic at hand. Occasionally I compare life choices to shoe shopping. I still wear tights with hearts on them and the occasional all pink outfit. I sometimes feel like my…

Strawberry Sorbet Honey Shortcakes

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…

Bird Nest Cookies

I can’t get enough of this song: Spun by Grouplove. It’ll make you dance. Beware. I can’t get enough sunshine. I keep reading books in the backyard. I have a v-neck sunburn line, but to me it’s tan? And I can’t get enough chocolate chip cookie remixes in my life either. They are the comfort food of the cookie world. They taste like home, and sometimes you just need to taste that, right? These guys…
