Because cookies can be cake can be cookies. And did you know there’s lemon in the white side of the frosting? And EVEN some in the chocolate side? It makes the icing taste perfectly complex and like a dream. This cake sliced WAY prettier the next day. No crumb-y bits happened then. Oh, well. Girl needed cake! And you know what the best part of this cake is?! You get some black and some white…
For the longest time I ate snooze-fest salads. I’d feel disappointed if I had to muster one up for lunch. But I was going about it all wrong! You see, the key to an awesome salad is lots of bright colors and sriracha in the vinaigrette. This salad is rainbow, and puts the fun in funfetti, ya know? And this can be switched up however you fancy. It’s tasty with spinach, kale, romaine, or arugula.…
I was trying to sort out a weekend getaway, when my friend Katie suggested Pittsburgh. Turns out it’s just a breezy 4-ish hours from Detroit so it’s kinda the perfect spot to venture for a quick trip. Having never been there is reason enough to go, right? P.S. Katie and her husband Mark started a travel blog. Check it out! The first night consisted of walking to get pre-dinner beers in lobster glasses. A big glass of water…
My current faves in no particular order: Kate Spade Saturday Wristlet – I got this lovely wristlet as a secret surprise present in the mail from the lovely Heather! It’s quickly becoming my favorite. Can’t get over the black and white stripe combo. (Find more wristlets here.) Capricorn Necklace – My friend Katie gave me this since we’re BFFs with the same birthday. We’re just two Capricorns who keep it real despite all the monster moons…
Silk Soymilk has a whole new taste that I find to be super delightful! It reminds me of slightly sweetened cereal milk, and I’m into it. I love it in my favorite frozen banana, honey, and cinnamon smoothie. Don’t be fooled by this smoothie’s khaki ensemble, it’s subtly sweet frosty goodness. It’s super good poured over my favorite crispy coconut oil granola. Popping a few berries on top doesn’t hurt either. It’s one speedy, yet…
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…
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…
The fact that I can find rhubarb is a major spring clue. You see the constant chilly wind and rain that’s been happening in the mitten is making it feel much more like early fall than bike-riding, ice cream-eating, patio beer, weather. But, rhubarb gives me hope. So yesterday, I opened my windows and made these mini pop tarts in an attempt to get spring to hurry up and get here! If you’re feeling casual,…
I’d like to propose a toast to toast and edible puns and to breakfast cocktail toast concoctions. And good luck to all the buttery bread that’s ever lived. May you all be toasted, dunked in soup, or transformed into pudding. Cheers to Elliot’s little foot in the left corner. And to casual bread baking without any yeast. I’d like to raise a glass to the lovely hills on top of this bread and the vaguely…
We totally go together like maple syrup and hot sauce, orange juice and champagne, chicken and waffles. Yesterday Sunday brunch happened at home again. This time Katie and Mark came over to chicken and waffle it up. I brined the chicken the night before (my first time brining!) and fried it up that morning. It turned out tasty! I feel good about brining and frying now. I’ve always felt good about waffles. Now, listen here.…
