Triple Chocolate Scones with Orange Icing
I have holes in the right elbow of most of my sweaters. I’m pretty much a ragamuffin because I keep wearing hole-y things. I suppose the only thing to do to avoid my elbow drama is to make scones. These scones will distract you from your ragamuffin ways and get your focus more on things like how to eat breakfast in a brownie outfit. Heart-shaped scones are totally encouraged all year. But since Valentine’s Day…

Mom’s Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pantry Cookies
My mom totally came up with this dreamy cookie recipe. She told me about them before she made them, texted me pictures after she made them, and sent me the recipe that very night. The next day I bought the ingredients. The thought of a cookie with tons of mix-ins, plenty of crunch and a pecan sandie-esque melt-in-your-mouth quality sounded perfect. They were just what I needed to bump me out of the funk I…

Lemon Lentil Soup
I’m super into lemon lentil soup. I order it from Anita’s weekly. The truth is that I miss it as soon as my bowl’s empty. So I knew I needed to attempt to make this dreamy soup. And it turned out so tasty! It’s super flavorful with fresh dill and juice from two large lemons all up in it. So there you go! And, no pressure, but I totally think you should make French Bread to go with it. Trust me…

Fudge Stripe Cookies
Did you guys eat Fudge Stripe cookies as kids? Did you pop them onto your finger and casually eat them around the edges? I totally did. So these are a total memory! And an accessory! And they look so good in stripes. These taste just like the Keebler guys. And since I live in an upper flat, I’m basically baking these in a tree, right? So if you ever crave these store-bought beauties, just make…

Spaghetti Squash + Stuffed Mushrooms {faux spaghetti and meatballs}
Faux noodles; faux problems. I really admire spaghetti squash for being a vegetable in a noodle outfit. I’m just really impressed by it! How does it do it? I’d say it’s a veggie-miracle. Make it. You’ll see. These stuffed mushrooms are the meatball in this pasta situation. They’re prettier than meatballs right? In a beauty pageant, these would look way better in a bathing suit. Am I wrong? But mostly, these mushrooms are full of…

Focaccia Cake + Spinach Dip
Sometimes I have the worst ideas. For example, every time I smell pizza, and love it, I have the fleeting thought: “I wish I had a pizza-scented candle.” I think we all know that’d be gross, and it’d result in constant stomach rumbling. Double trouble. However finagling foccacia bread into a layer-cake that can be lunch, is not a bad idea. Not that I have any problem with cake for lunch. So let’s eat cake that’s…

Fried Pickles {A Cindy + Megan Adventure}
After Cindy and I made donuts, we totally fried these pickles. It resulted in snack-lunch. First, donuts. Then fried pickles for *dessert. *It totally reminded me of the time I had a lamb chop for dessert at another lady hang out. Yum. We opted to get the cutest beer we could find. It was delicious too. We sipped the beer, ate these pickles, and chit-chatted at the kitchen table. I’m dying to know if you…

Nutella-Filled Donuts {A Cindy + Megan Adventure}
Cindy totally came over this weekend. I’m just so glad she moved to Michigan. We have tons in common. For example, below is how these donuts came to be: C: Maybe we should make something Saturday. M: Sure! What’s something we both want? C: I always want everything. M: Me too. C: Maybe we should fry something? M: I’m looking at a donut recipe right now. So there you go. These donuts are divas. The…

Grilled Cheese Party
Over the summer my entire immediate family was in town! This is rare, you see. We’re split up between Michigan, Illinois, and Minnesota. So I figured it’d be fun to get a family portrait or two taken. We don’t really have very many family pictures together. I asked my homegirl Cybelle Codish if she’d be down with taking a few photos, and she said yeah! It turned out the photos were going to be taken at lunch time,…
