I wake up hungry. Literally I wake up to my stomach growling. So much so, that I honesty considered having a snack pre-breakfast. I opted for one of these right off the griddle to tide me over before I ate the stack of hotties I took pictures of. My sister bought me this griddle for christmas. It’s perfect for pancakes for a crowd, but mostly it’s perfect for pancakes for one! It makes it easier…

Don’t worry about breakfast, there’s English Muffins that can happen right in your kitchen! Don’t worry about what to top them with, use the Raspberry Jam you made last year after you picked the berries yourself with your BFF in the sun. Don’t worry about the rise-time, just sit in your backyard with your cute pup and wear sunglasses instead of make-up, and think about how ice cream is a necessity for this day to be a…
I live for breakfast on the weekend. Sipping coffee with pancakes on the griddle makes everything better. (Except, I don’t have a griddle; I have a frying pan. And sometimes the pancakes run into each other, and then they look like snowmen.) Do you like my pancakes with their blueberry syrup make-over? Is it too much? No way, these pancakes can totally pull off the bright syrup look. And honestly, there’s no such thing as…
Three things that make me happy, no matter what, are: Naive Melody by the Talking Heads, Marie Antoinette (the movie!), and pizza of all types; I don’t discriminate. Jake and I used to eat breadsticks on the drive home from picking up our tasty whole wheat pizza from Strawberry Moon bakery. But, sadly, they closed in February. There went our breadstick-eating drives, impulsive brownie-buying, Jake’s Mexican Coke-chugging, and our summer plans to walk and get…
Saturdays are for napping and giant-cookie making. Toasted coconut makes hoodie-wearing, cookie-making, messy-hair days better. After taking that picture I couldn’t remember how much flour I put in the sifter so I had to re-scoop 3 cups worth of whole wheat flour. Whew, talk about a hassle. … ha! This recipe is one that can be thrown together in minutes. It uses cold butter! So you don’t even have to remember to take butter out…
This pancake is for the super hungry waker-upper. It’s for the pancake champ. It’s for the hearty-whole wheat lover. It’s for me. This isn’t a light pancake. It’s actually pretty heavy. It’s manly, even. It’d wear flannel and chop wood and save me from a dragon. What a gentleman! You see, this pancake won. I didn’t completely finish it. Instead I left 2 whole bites on the plate and laid on the couch in defeat.…
I get pretty proud of myself when I make a good dinner just for me. Normally I end up eating snacks or weirdo foods instead of a real meal when I’m cooking for one. Thank you Dana, for making me crazy about turkey burgers … ever since the tasty ones you made us post paddle boating. Turkey Burgers Recipe from my homegurl Dana Ingredients: 1 lb. ground turkey + some minced onion + some fresh…
I’ve been trying to be more like Fergie lately. You know, the whole “up in the gym, just workin’ on my fitness” thing. So when I wanted waffles for Sunday breakfast, I figured I’d look for one packed with oats and protein and all that good stuff. And on top of all that, the brown sugar makes you totally doubt the need for syrup. So there you go! These waffles are healthy, but don’t hold…
I’m accomplishing things today! I have a double batch of Light Brioche Burger Buns on the rise for a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow at my best friend in the world’s house and I even made these pancakes for breakfast. These pancakes are hearty … as in a burley dude would like them. They have both whole wheat flour and corn meal in them and not a speck of white flour. They are so good…
