This morning I made pancakes. I put nutella and malt powder in them. They tasted like heaven, but only two ended up pretty and I ate them. But the problem is that when I flipped them only half flipped, and they just stuck to the pan a lot and then I burnt one. Jake blamed the nutella. I blamed my impatience and the pan for being the fakest nonstick pan ever. (Dishes shmishes.) Don’t worry, Jake…
I feel weird seeing someone I know at the gym. I’m not a gym-hottie. I’m more of a sweaty betty. It’s funny, though, to wave at that someone-you-know after you tried to pretend you didn’t see them after they pretended to not see you. But it’s totally ok to twinkly-finger wave at them as they leave and you’re climbing a mountain via treadmill. However, it’s not awkward to top everything with a crumbly topping. It’s…
This weekend has been a girly one. It involved mimosas, crafty wreath-making, casual chit chat over these muffins, and pumpkin pizza sharing. It’s been a good one. These muffins are perfect for spontanious brunching. Invite your BFF over while you’re in pajamas and while the muffins are still warm. Just do it. Everybody wins! But beware… These might make you curse out loud, because shut-the-front-door, they’re good. So you should probably try one before bringing…
We really love Mexican food. It might be our very most favorite. So when the craving struck on Friday, we sped to Pancho’s. Jake grew up eating here! So it tastes like a memory and like delicious. I always get the chicken enchiladas. Jake always gets the bean-y tostadas plus a quesadilla. (I totally should’ve gotten a quesadilla, too.) We talked about life-changing gelato, cinnamon-sugary ice cream toppings, and how after dinner we’d need a nap. We…
Because sometimes I post things fashionably late. Because sometimes I want to eat a whole pie in one bite (like I’m a giant). Because I’ve been messing things up lately. Because I made this filling twice. Because occasionally I’m a total custard amateur. So, sometimes pies work out even if you mess them up at first. And they are extra good with a friendly mini ghost on top. What it comes down to is that…
These cupcakes go really well with watching Hocus Pocus, gold pumpkins, and flannel shirts. Oh, and is Hocus Pocus a musical sometimes? Weird. I ran out of mini muffin papers. So I just used small squares of parchment again. I think they worked out well as cupcake outfits. Even though it creates nooks for the cupcake batter to be ridiculous. So make these! Pass them out to trick-or-treaters. Toss them in that pillow case! Except,…
Sometimes you just need a solid snack. The kind you eat for your willy nilly dinner. The kind you eat before cookie-dessert. The kind you eat while sitting on the floor in front of your coffee table. These are perfect for eating while watching movies with your lady friends. I guess they’d be good for football watching dudes, but I’m rarely around sporty, high-fiving fellas. But these turned out totally snack worthy. I even made…

I crave ice cream daily. It’s just the truth. So I thought I’d try this frozen banana business since it’s an ice cream that is ready for snacking quickly! You just need frozen bananas, cocoa, vanilla, and more chocolate. Top this with hot fudge for a remixed banana split! Go ahead and freeze a few freckled bananas. Blend it up! Add malt powder even (Man! Now I wish I would’ve!) and enjoy every bite without worrying…
I’m having trouble committing to one outfit per day. I find myself switching from skirts to pants on my lunch break or from tall shoes to flats. I totally can’t commit to one nail polish color either. I generally have random fingers painted with glitter or golds. So I figured why commit to one method with this dough! You see, this stuff can be used for so many things like loaves of bread and rolls…
