Mushrooms are one of the cutest vegetables. They remind me of gnomes and fairy tails. So thanks, nature! Thanks for mushrooms, acorns, and mini pinecones. Nature’s just cute, you guys. So these cookies resemble a vegetable, but are just cookies. They’re late for the whole dressing-up-for-Halloween-thing. They taste like crumb-y good shortbread. I just might want to dunk them in jam like these guys. P.S. Mostly I ate two in a row, really quick, while these…
Let’s restart. Let’s toast to the new year now! I’m not going to lie. I keep thinking that I can’t wait for this year to end. Too many crazy things have happened that I no longer want to share a year with. But my friend mentioned that maybe I should start my new year now, ya’ know? Toast now! Instead of wishing the year away, take a fresh start immediately. So let’s put champagne in our…
Is it cold where you’re at? These cookies will warm you right up. They’re like that new coat you bought. You know, the one that goes swimmingly with your favorite coral pants. While the coat isn’t as warm as it is fashionable, these cookies are toasty and equally pretty. These would pair well with a cozy night in. Or a casual day when you need some cookies in your life. Call your neighbor and have…
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…
What is it about chillier weather that makes me extra hungry and extra sleepy? I’m all about hibernating these days. I just want to go to sleep and wake up to pancakes or pizza! I think I feel that way all the time though. Monday I made pizza for dinner! It involved this pumpkin dough and a spinach remix to this pesto. There was also plenty of proscuitto and goat cheese, of course. It made…
I’ve been drinking pumpkin beer and eating sandwiches on pumpkin bread. I’ve been using pumpkin puree to get Elliot to eat his medicine. I’ve been pinning pumpkin-painting ideas. To say, I’m totally in love with pumpkin is an understatement. I just really hope you guys aren’t totally over it, because these crepes are super good. They’re worth breakfasting on, it’s the truth. These would be extra awesome with a maple cream cheese filling. I served…
The oatmeal part of this reminds me of the instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal I used to eat as a kid. I loved it! So sampling this dough was no big deal at all. I should go back to school and major in dough sampling. I’d get straight A’s, no doubt. I’ve daydreamed about this bar ever since getting one similar at a bakery by my house. Honestly, these are just like the one…
I’d like a slice of this big enough to be a pillow. I’d fall sleep right away! I’d wake up snacking. You see this bread is the softest. Perfect for the savoriest of sandwiches or the toastiest of toasts. And I can’t stop with Call Me Maybe jokes… like for this bread it’d be: I baked some bread, and this is crazy, but I’d like to marry it, so let’s go to the courthouse maybe. So…
Sometimes I’m informed of rules I had no idea existed. Like how root beer should NEVER be served over ice. It’s disrespect. And once as a kid I tried to order rice and mashed potatoes as side dishes, but my grandma said that I couldn’t get two starches! Now I eat breadsticks AND pizza. Oh man. What am I doing with my life? But when it comes to rosemary there are no rules! It’s the perfect…
Zingerman’s Deli is one of my favorite places ever. I went there again yesterday and stood in line for awhile trying to decide whether I should get the Nathan’s Double Play hot dog of my dreams (I’ve gotten it twice!) or Randolph’s Grand Debut. I opted for the sandwich because I’ve wanted to try a croque monsieur for a long time. It was delicious! I might need to go back soon and get that hot…
