Because cookies can be cake can be cookies. And did you know there’s lemon in the white side of the frosting? And EVEN some in the chocolate side? It makes the icing taste perfectly complex and like a dream. This cake sliced WAY prettier the next day. No crumb-y bits happened then. Oh, well. Girl needed cake! And you know what the best part of this cake is?! You get some black and some white…
Silk Soymilk has a whole new taste that I find to be super delightful! It reminds me of slightly sweetened cereal milk, and I’m into it. I love it in my favorite frozen banana, honey, and cinnamon smoothie. Don’t be fooled by this smoothie’s khaki ensemble, it’s subtly sweet frosty goodness. It’s super good poured over my favorite crispy coconut oil granola. Popping a few berries on top doesn’t hurt either. It’s one speedy, yet…
I’ve got breakfast covered for a couple weeks. I’m going to top this tan bread with butter, sea salt, and honey. I’m going to make toasty peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I’ll put a fried egg on it, no big deal. I’ll probably include this nook and crannied bread for 2 out of 3 meals a day, ya know? And this bread isn’t knead-y. Stir, pour, set aside to rise, bake. And then your weeks…
The fact that I can find rhubarb is a major spring clue. You see the constant chilly wind and rain that’s been happening in the mitten is making it feel much more like early fall than bike-riding, ice cream-eating, patio beer, weather. But, rhubarb gives me hope. So yesterday, I opened my windows and made these mini pop tarts in an attempt to get spring to hurry up and get here! If you’re feeling casual,…
I’d like to propose a toast to toast and edible puns and to breakfast cocktail toast concoctions. And good luck to all the buttery bread that’s ever lived. May you all be toasted, dunked in soup, or transformed into pudding. Cheers to Elliot’s little foot in the left corner. And to casual bread baking without any yeast. I’d like to raise a glass to the lovely hills on top of this bread and the vaguely…
We totally go together like maple syrup and hot sauce, orange juice and champagne, chicken and waffles. Yesterday Sunday brunch happened at home again. This time Katie and Mark came over to chicken and waffle it up. I brined the chicken the night before (my first time brining!) and fried it up that morning. It turned out tasty! I feel good about brining and frying now. I’ve always felt good about waffles. Now, listen here.…
I have absolutely no idea where I’ll be in a year. I’m not sure who my main hang will be or even what’s for dinner tonight. What I do know is that uncertainty can be exciting, brunch should happen every weekend, and ricotta should be in every pancake. I was thinking that I’d go out to Easter brunch this year, but then I started thinking about the pancakes and omelet of my dreams, and figured…
Yesterday I ate some of this cake on my lunch break. I sampled that jam-covered slice before making a salad. Balance, right? And last night I judged some desserts. I might’ve eaten 10 desserts before dinner. Oh jeez. I’ve got a problem. I think I’m ok with it though. This cake is brownie-esque. It’s super chocolate-y good. And it’s the kind of cake that you can make willy-nilly on a weeknight! One bowl, one pan,…
I love using holidays as a reason to make a layer cake, and these are four of my faves! Don’t worry too much about it being frosted perfectly, instead take the time to garnish it with cookie words, candied carrots, fruit, or almonds. It’s all about the garnish. 1. BANANA with Dulce De Leche & Brown Sugar Swiss Meringue Buttercream // Bananas feel like the coolest fruit ever in this layered hottie since they’re used to being…
One of my favorite things to do is to take the pup for a ride to get ice cream. And you know what I realized? A lot of people go get ice cream by themselves. Not that there’s any shame in my single-lady-ice-cream-eating game, or anything. Sometimes a girl (or a business man) need ice cream. No big deal. While we’re not judging anybody, there’s also no shame in gobbling one of these at 9…
