Let’s have waffles instead of bread. Let’s make sandwiches on pancakes. Let’s confuse our lunch with breakfast. Let’s live life like one big brunch. Let’s gaze at bubbliness. Let’s think some more about how yeast is magical. Let’s high-five the new waffle-maker. I’m Monte Cristo crazy. I’ve recently ordered Monte Cristo French Toast. I’ve eaten Monte Cristo Crepes. I made mini Monte Cristo sandwiches for new year’s eve. So just know that you’re the Monte…

Jake believes that if you burn yourself, while cooking, the meal is guaranteed to be good. He believes in wine, bacon, and rye bread. He also believes that nobody should be making their own birthday cake. So this year, when my birthday rolled around, I opted for pie. And Jake made it! And it turned out dreamier than I even imagined! It’s perfectly tart and so bright you’ve got to wear shades. So for your next…
Ronin is pretty much my favorite restaurant. I’m crazy for their seaweed salad, dragon roll, and their kobe beef mini burgers served with a mountain of shoe-string fries. So when they put beer in marshmallows, I knew it had to be good. I believe it was their November dessert special: guinness marshmallow s’mores with homemade graham crackers and dark chocolate ganache. Since it was a “limited time only” kind of thing, Jake and I totally…
I hope you all the best holiday! We ate tasty-goodness, as is our tradition. We wrote out the menu for our feast Christmas Eve. It involved breakfast, daytime snacking, and a big dinner. I made us sweet and savory crepes for breakfast. Half with strawberry jam, strawberries, and brie, and the rest were filled with crispy proscuitto, gruyere, and spinach. I’m the sweetie to Jake’s savory. We’re a food ying-yang. I pick dessert and he picks…
That’s me* up there singing All I Want for Christmas is You! *And by me, I mean Mariah. And by Mariah I mean Merry. And by Merry I mean Christmas. I hope you all have the best day filled with amazing food, bearded hotties, and puppies in sweaters. P.S. I have the same haircut as 90’s Mariah Carey.
Let’s just take a minute and whisk some stuff. I bet you’ve got time in between sewing garlands and wrapping presents and hugging your dog. It’d be most fun to divide this pudding between little jars and bring them to work with your lunch! Because everybody needs pudding for dessert. Especially this week, right? So next time you make meringue anything or marshmallow frosting keep the yolks and make pudding! And maybe make the meringues…
I scurry. I’m a scurrier. When it’s cold out, and my hair is blowing everywhere, and my bangs are in my face, I can’t casually stroll. I have to hurry and scurry. I’m sorry if I’ve hurried past you awkwardly heading into Target or the grocery store. It’s not that I’m in a hurry. It’s that I’m cold. You see, this year I’m not in a hurry at all regarding Christmas. I’ve been slowly making…
The other night Jake and I just wanted to have pie for dinner. I filled with with chicken and vegetables and topped it with penguins. This was just the thing we wanted to eat on a cold night in. Next time I’m going to make individual pot pies. That’d be fun, right? Would you want a penguin, an elephant, or a heart on yours? And if you’re in a holiday frenzy and the thought of…
These are so much more than elephants in silly outfits. They are elephants that taste like shortbread and are wearing Christmas colors. …well, my idea of a Christmas colors remix. I’m thinking these will be cozy tucked in a cookie box with these cookies and these ones and maybe some sort of lollipop, and maybe even fudge! What are you guys baking this year? Tell me everything. Shortbread Sugar Cookies {makes about 2 dozen cookies}…
