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…
– Contest Closed – I like the word “banoffee”. Probably because I’m always combining words. Like instead of blueberry pancakes, I might say blancakes or instead of a crumble cobbler, I might say crumomble or cobumble. These word combos aren’t nearly as cute as banoffee which is bananas and toffee (or caramel in this case) though. But regardless, you should know that this milkshake is maybe a smoothie (smilkshake?). It’s a smoothie in a milkshake…
I feel like this week is my summer vacay. Like I’m done with school and am home for the summer, if the summer was just one week. But you see, I’ve got this list in my head! Like, I need to bake with my sour cherries, and make cookies, and burgers, and shortcakes, and (more) ice cream, and pancakes. But, ya know, sometimes you have to throw that list out the window and get spontaneous…
Donuts are a gateway food. I mean, every time someone brings donuts to work, or to a photo shoot, I keep it cool and (almost always) contain myself. It’s because I know that in my heart I just want to eat at least three of them. (A sprinkle one, a chocolate one, and a blueberry one.) So I finally made them! With a variety of glazes, to boot. So you better believe I ate three.…
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…
I’ve wanted to talk to you guys about my pup, Elliot, for years! I’ve wanted to tell you all about how he’s had back problems and how they’ve caused trouble with his back legs for awhile. Years ago, Elliot was running in the snow and slid into the fence. He wanted to bark at the angry dogs that lived behind us. That was the beginning of his troubles. At the time he stopped using one…
My favorite thing to top toast with, these days, is butter, honey, and sea salt. Can’t stop. Won’t stop. Sometimes I eat it for lunch. Sometimes I eat it for dessert. Mostly, I just love it. So when Adrianna posted Salty Honey Ice cream, I immediately thought of my fave toast. And you guys, this tastes like the ice cream version of my favorite toasty breakfast! I want to high five it! I keep imagining…
Happy First Day of Summer! Let’s spend the toasty days making all the chocolate ice cream, ok? Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream // Chocolate Ice Cream Dark Chocolate Sorbet // Chocolate Frozen Yogurt + Cookie Dough Chocolate Orange Sherbet for Two // The Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream
My blog’s four! If it was a degree, it’d be a bachelor’s! If it was a relationship, it’d be a serious one! In these four years, I’ve baked my feelings, made you brunch, drank beer with crepes, put beer in waffles, poured it over ice cream. I’ve tried to make pie without making pie. (Twice.) I’ve been super happy and super sad. I’ve met some great ladies and fellas! I just love this community. Ya’ll…
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,…
