Vegan Espresso Fudgesicles

I’m feelin’ pretty good this week. I’ve been making tacos and quesadillas and drinking ginger grapefruit beer (the redhead of beer) the whole time. I’ve been having a fudgesicle for dessert after lunch. I’ve been walking Elliot in the morning, and not running in my shirt that says I run. I’ve watched sad-ish movies. I’ve been painting my nails and then switching the color. (Commitment issues.) So it’s time to make frozen everything, you guys. It’s…

Salted Honey Toast Ice Cream

My favorite thing to top toast with, these days, is butter, honey, and sea salt. Can’t stop.  Won’t stop. Sometimes I eat it for lunch. Sometimes I eat it for dessert. Mostly, I just love it. So when Adrianna posted Salty Honey Ice cream, I immediately thought of my fave toast. And you guys, this tastes like the ice cream version of my favorite toasty breakfast! I want to high five it! I keep imagining…

Chocolate Crepe Cake Minis + a Megabite Birthday

My blog’s four! If it was a degree, it’d be a bachelor’s! If it was a relationship, it’d be a serious one! In these four years, I’ve baked my feelings, made you brunch, drank beer with crepes, put beer in waffles, poured it over ice cream. I’ve tried to make pie without making pie. (Twice.) I’ve been super happy and super sad. I’ve met some great ladies and fellas! I just love this community. Ya’ll…

Insta-recipes #1

Ok! So, I thought it might be fun to revisit some things I’ve posted on Instagram to share the recipes with you guys. I really hope you don’t mind! P.S. I didn’t make those donut holes and macarons up there, but aren’t they good-lookin’! And yeah, I totally want to take a nap on a pile of them. My friend Dana came over for dinner a while back and it was just after I revisited…

Berry Crumble Ice Cream

My favorite pies have a crumb topping. I always choose a crumble over a crisp, and have even streusel-topped pancakes in the past. And with all these summer berries keepin’ it real at the farmer’s market, it only makes sense to give ice cream the crumble remix. And my mom has major pie skills. She also loves a crumble topping like no other. So you better believe I called my mom when I was tasting…

Double Raspberry Waffles

These waffles might be my favorite yet. Despite the fact that the first few waffles got majorly stuck in the waffle iron. They obviously have separation anxiety. Even though I ate the first couple (mangled) waffles burrito-style with some raspberry syrup in the middle. I mean, you just can’t go wrong with summertime berry-livin’. These taste especially awesome when you have the day off. They are a nice leisurely brunch-y way to get your day…

The Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream In The World

It takes me 1 1/2 blocks (driving) to finish a toasted sesame seed bagel with cream cheese. It takes me the opening song of The Wire to finish my cornbread pizza. It takes me the 30 minutes before leaving for dinner to make this ice cream, leaving me just enough time to switch my shoes and put on lipstick. Do you ever buy the ingredients to make something discovering that you can’t make it until…

Strawberry Rhubarb Vodka

I took a sip of this on the rocks and it was trouble. Boozie Susan, ya know? The tartness of the rhubarb shines through. But mix this with some club soda, a little bit of vanilla bean and lemon or berries, and you’re set. The perfect spring-time drink. Not too sweet, and not too boozy (tasting). I let this sit a few days extra. The strawberries turn into zombies and the vodka turns the perfect…
