I’m so lucky! My mom and sister, Laura, came to visit for the weekend. We went out for churros, strolled through Eastern Market and bought bouquets of flowers, and went out for sliders. My mom and I mixed up whoopie pie filling and fluffy pancake batter. My sister and I sipped Euro-beers and well, I’m just glad that I had these lovely ladies visiting this weekend. Sometimes you just need to be around people who…
We’ve known each other long enough for nicknames, wouldn’t ya say? I think “Honey Pie” is the perfect one for you guys! Because you see, I took one bite of this and sent a text to a friend saying, “Come over right now! I just made the best pie in the world!” And now so can you guys! This pie truly does taste magical. It’s taking all of my self control not to keep cutting…
I like a day ending with a churro, and so it’s just a fact that I like a dessert that can be dunked. These aren’t churros, but are salty and maple-y shortbread cut into fries that can be dunked at your leisure. They’re super tasty dunked in Nutella (but what isn’t?) but would also be tasty dipped into jam or blueberry coulis. But beware, you might want to eat quite a few of these. In…
I love lemon bars SO MUCH. I used to buy them from the grocery store bakery. Once, I told a co-worker that’d I’d bring her some! So I bought them and proceeded to eat all 3 on the way to work. I’m a real jerk. Believe it. But when you make a whole pan of them, there are plenty to share! And with the addition of fresh rosemary they are just a touch unique. I’ve…
I’ve got you guys covered. You see, I totally understand that post dinner emergency where you need something sweet, and you end up eating a handful of chocolate chips. (You guys do that too, right?) The last of your frozen cookies are gone and the fudgesicles are but a memory. You just need one bite of chocolate to get you through the evening, and that’s where these pops come in. They’re inspired by salty-sweet livin’,…
The other day, while eating on the patio of a local brewery, I glanced over and saw a truck drive by with two shiba inu pups looking out at me; one white one and one tan one. I felt so lucky to get to see those cute little guys! I’m so glad I looked! I also feel lucky to live in a world where peaches exist. They’re just really pretty, and so tasty. And they…
I’m sharing the recipe for these Roasted Peach Sliders over on, my girl, Hungry Girl Por Vida’s blog today! She’s out of town and I feel so honored to be hanging out over on her blog today. Click HERE for the full post and recipe. I know it’s Tuesday, but I hope your weekend was glorious!
I haven’t made cupcakes in awhile. I guess I’ve been busy spilling enchilada sauce in my shoe and helping myself to the bread basket before you show up for dinner. Maybe I’ve been spending too much time splitting gelato flights and shopping for blankets and thinking about picnics. Anyhow, last weekend I finally cupcaked it up. A fella I know loves strawberries, so I knew these had to happen. And it’s ok that they’re pink.…
It’s time to freeze up some breakfast smoothie business. Take a bite and then run an un-bitten one downstairs to your new neighbor. You see, even a gentleman can appreciate the ladylike looks of this pop. They’re a healthy snack! A breakfast! A friend-maker! Offer some to his dapper cat. Offer some to your bow-tie wearing dog. Live your life. It’s still summer. So we should really embrace it! Popsicles for breakfast and sandals and…
My favorite snack pack pudding flavor combo was s’mores. Hands down. I mean, I’ve always loved the s’mores rendition of most snacks. (Pop Tarts too!) So I figured this pudding HAD to happen. And while I’m at it, why not freeze the hell out of it pop-style!? I wanted to go all out for Billy’s Popsicle Week, ya know? P.S. Click that little popsicle week image to see the list of bloggers and flava flaves…
