When I picked my car up from an oil change, the fella said, “It’s August! Practically Christmas.” And I dyed a little inside. It may be the Sunday of the year, but you better believe that I’m holding on to summer. Like REALLY tightly. I’m going to ride my bike to brunch, make popsicles, eat hot dogs, and drink beer on patios for as long as possible. I’ll turn my oven on before my heat.…
Hey guys. I’m going to be honest. I have no scissor skills. Cutting out a perfect circle just isn’t going to happen. I give tend to give circles corners. And I’m also not vegan. I ate blue cheese in my car once. However, I do think it’s important to have delicious vegan options up my sleeve. And I also think that presentation is key. Lately, I’ve been on an ice cream kick, ya know? So…
I love enchiladas. So much so, that I’d like them for breakfast filled with eggs and chorizo. I’m all Dr. Suess about them. Please give them to me topped with salsa verde, out on the town, at the picnic table, for dinner, for breakfast, with leftovers, with newovers, topped with quickly whisked chili powder enchilada sauce, filled with BBQ, topped with gouda, topped with goat cheese. I just want them, ya know? So when I…
You guys, it’s been summer in Michigan like whoa. And honestly the thought of turning on the oven for ONE WHOLE HOUR to eat banana bread is just too much to bear. (Or at least until I give up on stayin’ cool). Don’t fret though! These pancakes solve that banana bread debacle in one awesome breakfast eatin’ swoop. And with a little bit of butter on each warm pancake, they just really and truly taste…
I sing this song in the car almost every day. It might’ve replaced Kelly Clarkston’s Since You’ve Been Gone in the sing-in-the-car-way. Both are about love gone wrong though, so they have so much in common. What I’m trying to say is that, I know that I’m feeling ok based on whether I sing in the car or not. That’s how I figure out how I’m doin’. And nothing gives me a reason to sing…
I’m kinda the worst. I don’t always refill the ice cube trays. Sometimes when I put dish towels away in the cupboard I hurry and close the door before they fall out, setting myself out for future disaster. I keep leaving dishes in the sink for days and days. Saturday I went to the gym and did barely anything and then came home and ate a cookie. Sometimes on the weekend I get up eat…
When I found sour cherries at the farmer’s market, I couldn’t believe it! They’re rare beauties! I knew I needed to get them and had to bake with them before it was too late! One of my worst fears is buying the prettiest produce and then saving it too long for the perfect recipe and ending up wasting them. It’s just super-rude of me when that happens. I haven’t made a cobbler in awhile, and…
– Contest Closed – I like the word “banoffee”. Probably because I’m always combining words. Like instead of blueberry pancakes, I might say blancakes or instead of a crumble cobbler, I might say crumomble or cobumble. These word combos aren’t nearly as cute as banoffee which is bananas and toffee (or caramel in this case) though. But regardless, you should know that this milkshake is maybe a smoothie (smilkshake?). It’s a smoothie in a milkshake…
I feel like this week is my summer vacay. Like I’m done with school and am home for the summer, if the summer was just one week. But you see, I’ve got this list in my head! Like, I need to bake with my sour cherries, and make cookies, and burgers, and shortcakes, and (more) ice cream, and pancakes. But, ya know, sometimes you have to throw that list out the window and get spontaneous…
Donuts are a gateway food. I mean, every time someone brings donuts to work, or to a photo shoot, I keep it cool and (almost always) contain myself. It’s because I know that in my heart I just want to eat at least three of them. (A sprinkle one, a chocolate one, and a blueberry one.) So I finally made them! With a variety of glazes, to boot. So you better believe I ate three.…
