Chocolate North Pole Cake

By Megan | December 24, 2013 by Megan

While in my heart, I’m totes kinda grinchy, in my baked goods I’m totally Elf. I mean, the other day when I was eating waffles for dinner I totally thought that I might like maple syrup as much as that dude. (What am I saying?!) Anyhow, this cake is easy-breezy! A perfect Tuesday afternoon cake. So I totally recommend whipping this up to take to your boyfriend’s mom’s house or to your BFF’s aunt’s house…

Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars

By Megan | December 16, 2013December 16, 2013 by Megan

Well, it snowed here in Detroit. And it’s super cute until your car gets stuck. I guess I should probably leave my car in it’s parking spot until spring and spend all of my time baking cookie bar mountain towns for all the mini deer and trees in my life. It’s the only answer that makes sense, ya know? So come on over! I’ll make you sit by my pink christmas tree with a cookie…

Orange Biscuits

By Megan | December 12, 2013 by Megan

I have these memories, as a kid, of my mom making biscuits at all hours. Sometimes a gal just needs a biscuit, ya know? Sometimes it’d be an evening craving and we’d all eat warm biscuits with butter or honey or jam before bed. Now I know that I’m doing alright by when I get super biscuit-hungry. Things are ok! There are warm biscuits! They make me most happy on a weekend morning while the…

Mississippi Mud Pie Brownie Ice Cream

By Megan | December 10, 2013December 11, 2013 by Megan

The lovely Bev is having twins! Soon! So, let’s just say, that when I heard about this virtual baby shower, I knew I wanted in. You see, Bev is just lovely! And funny! And yay, she’s having twins! It’s pretty major! I was perusing recipes when I spotted these brownies on her site. I knew turning them into an ice cream would be just the thing to kick the massive chocolate cravings going on. I’m…

Pear Jam Smash

By Megan | December 3, 2013December 3, 2013 by Megan

Because sometimes you want to drink the season! You see, this drink is sweet with pear infused vodka and vanilla bean pear jam. It has a splash of ginger liquor for spice and a bit of soda for bubbliness. Top it with a sprig of rosemary and a sliver of pear to keep things festive. I’d say it’s the perfect drink for holiday living. You see, using jam in leu of a simple syrup is…

Happy Thanksgiving + Bling Cookies

By Megan | November 28, 2013February 12, 2014 by Megan

Happy Thanksgiving, you guys! I’m thankful for each and every one of you! It’s just the truth! I’m also thankful for puppies, avocados, lobster rolls, honey pies, late-night adventure dinners, beers that taste like ice cream, root beer floats, and bling-bling gold sugar cookies. I’m thankful for super-model dough f’sho, cookie letters, cookie-cutters with handles, rolling pins with red handles, and big huge baking trays. I’m thankful for breakfast dates with my dad, and how…

Angel Food Cake

By Megan | November 25, 2013November 25, 2013 by Megan

You guys, I keep buying a dozen eggs and then a dozen more. I guess I’m super scared to run out ever, ya know? They’re my go-to lunch and my emergency single-lady dinner. And what if I need to make a french silk pie? So, I’ve had eggs to spare just begging to turn into a angel food cake. How could I say no? And I’ve had an angel food cake pan just dying to be…

Buttermilk Pancake Ice Cream

By Megan | November 21, 2013November 20, 2013 by Megan

You’re the tops! You are the pumpkin marshmallows in my hot cocoa. You’re the gruyere on my Cuban sandwich. You’re the beer with my burger, the prosciutto on my pizza, the jam on my toast. The moral of the story is that you’re the pancakes on my ice cream sundae, ya know? P.S. That lovely cup is from Scout, one of my favorite shops! I kinda want to collect all the purple-y pink iridescent goodness.…

Scones Forever

By Megan | November 19, 2013November 18, 2013 by Megan

Because breakfast wins best meal award*. (*Based on the dessert-as-a-meal-thing, obvz.) Because my countertops are covered with dishes and my bed is covered with laundry. Because my car seats are covered in sesame seeds from emergency bagel-ing on the regular. Because I’m good at running out of milk, cereal, bread for toasting, and general breakfast foods. Because I took a 2-hour nap Saturday and then ran out of daylight. Because my favorite cowboy boots are…
