The lovely Bev is having twins! Soon! So, let’s just say, that when I heard about this virtual baby shower, I knew I wanted in. You see, Bev is just lovely! And funny! And yay, she’s having twins! It’s pretty major! I was perusing recipes when I spotted these brownies on her site. I knew turning them into an ice cream would be just the thing to kick the massive chocolate cravings going on. I’m…
Because sometimes you want to drink the season! You see, this drink is sweet with pear infused vodka and vanilla bean pear jam. It has a splash of ginger liquor for spice and a bit of soda for bubbliness. Top it with a sprig of rosemary and a sliver of pear to keep things festive. I’d say it’s the perfect drink for holiday living. You see, using jam in leu of a simple syrup is…
Late Thursday night two of my favorite fellas and I arrived in San Francisco. We were super hungry because everyone knows that flights always start before you’re hungry and end at just about the time you think you might have to eat 6 bags of mini pretzels in a row just to survive. My BFF Katie and her husband, Mark, picked us up and took us straight to In-N-Out. We got our burgers animal-style and now…
It’s time to freeze up some breakfast smoothie business. Take a bite and then run an un-bitten one downstairs to your new neighbor. You see, even a gentleman can appreciate the ladylike looks of this pop. They’re a healthy snack! A breakfast! A friend-maker! Offer some to his dapper cat. Offer some to your bow-tie wearing dog. Live your life. It’s still summer. So we should really embrace it! Popsicles for breakfast and sandals and…
You guys, it’s been summer in Michigan like whoa. And honestly the thought of turning on the oven for ONE WHOLE HOUR to eat banana bread is just too much to bear. (Or at least until I give up on stayin’ cool). Don’t fret though! These pancakes solve that banana bread debacle in one awesome breakfast eatin’ swoop. And with a little bit of butter on each warm pancake, they just really and truly taste…
I’m feelin’ pretty good this week. I’ve been making tacos and quesadillas and drinking ginger grapefruit beer (the redhead of beer) the whole time. I’ve been having a fudgesicle for dessert after lunch. I’ve been walking Elliot in the morning, and not running in my shirt that says I run. I’ve watched sad-ish movies. I’ve been painting my nails and then switching the color. (Commitment issues.) So it’s time to make frozen everything, you guys. It’s…
On Saturday Cindy and I threw a lady picnic party in my backyard. You see, last summer my parents visited and we painted my picnic table Mint Majesty. It’s been begging for a party ever since. We planned the menu months ago! We agree that cheese and crackers are always necessary (and caper berries!). In order to make the cheese a bit more ladylike we dressed it up like cake. I’m now officially crazy about gorgonzola,…
Sometimes my hunger sneaks up on me and I require dinner on the quick. Sometimes on these nights I’m feeling too lazy to grate cheese. (Who am I!?) That’s where this pizza comes in. The best part, besides it’s tastiness, is that this can be whipped up and ready to eat in under 30 minutes. There’s just no reason not to make this all will-nilly-like, ya’ know? It’s a breeze to throw together and goodness…
Yesterday I ate some of this cake on my lunch break. I sampled that jam-covered slice before making a salad. Balance, right? And last night I judged some desserts. I might’ve eaten 10 desserts before dinner. Oh jeez. I’ve got a problem. I think I’m ok with it though. This cake is brownie-esque. It’s super chocolate-y good. And it’s the kind of cake that you can make willy-nilly on a weeknight! One bowl, one pan,…
