Because when I was seven I picked pink earrings over my birth stone. Because pink foods are always a party. Because cherries are the sole reason these are pink. Because when things are mini you can eat fifteen. Because I love you. These guys are almond-y where the donuts are concerned and tartly cherry where the pink glaze is concerned. But don’t be concerned, these will make your heart smile. Disclaimer: I blame the fact that…
I could eat ice cream every day. Winter or summer, hungry or full, before dinner or after dinner, today and tomorrow. Lately, I’ve been into soft serve of the chocolatiest-chocolate variety. I’m into blizzards and flurries with mix-ins. The more chocolate the better. So, I figured, why not make a vegan remix! I knew I wanted to use this chocolate coconut milk ice cream because it’s the creamiest and dreamiest. And these cookies are cakie like…
It’s time for a change. Maybe I need to cut my hair (ah! no!) or maybe I need to move furniture around and make a breakfast nook in my flat. Maybe I need to stop eating my lunch standing in the kitchen or doing dishes with my coat on. Maybe I need to eat charcuterie for lunch more often, or maybe I need to get ice cream every day. I’m not sure what I need…
There’s something you should know. A couple weeks ago, while riding my bike, I ran over a remote control car. It was awkward for everyone. If it makes you feel any better, later on in that same bike ride, I almost fell while simultaneously losing my shoe and discussing pork tenderloin with grilled sweet potatoes. Karma, man. …like the time I paid at the art store in all dimes only to come outside to an exacto…
I can’t get enough of this song: Spun by Grouplove. It’ll make you dance. Beware. I can’t get enough sunshine. I keep reading books in the backyard. I have a v-neck sunburn line, but to me it’s tan? And I can’t get enough chocolate chip cookie remixes in my life either. They are the comfort food of the cookie world. They taste like home, and sometimes you just need to taste that, right? These guys…
Sometimes I skip lunch and eat cake and blinis. Sometimes I put fresh figs in the middle of a bundt cake. Sometimes I load up my car with dishes and food and hang out with my homegirl Cybelle. Sometimes I get my food styling on freelance-style. I made this stuff awhile back for Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted warm wintery chocolatey things and appetizer things. So I made a chocolate gingerbread bundt cake! I sautéed…
My favorite day is Sunday because lately it involves a good breakfast, bike-riding, and beers. Yesterday this was the breakfast that got my day going. It was a good start to a day full of sunshine. And I think I’m tan! … and by tan I mean kinda freckled. I want you guys to know something. I want you to know that nobody feels like the third wheel in this breakfast. Strawberry jam, brie, and…
Since tomorrow’s St. Patrick’s Day you should probably put beer in your waffles and beer in your cake. Oh, and wear green so you don’t get pinched by any weirdos! 01: S’mores {Ronin Style} with Stout Marshmallows + Oh My Ganache 02: Guinness Chocolate Cake + downloadable flags! 03: Chocolate Stout Waffle S’mores AKA beer for breakfast 04: Mini Hacker-Pschorr Cupcakes for toasting purposes 05: Beer Spice Cake with Brown Butter Glaze cake in a cozy outfit 06:…
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…
Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…
