My favorite day is Sunday because lately it involves a good breakfast, bike-riding, and beers. Yesterday this was the breakfast that got my day going. It was a good start to a day full of sunshine. And I think I’m tan! … and by tan I mean kinda freckled. I want you guys to know something. I want you to know that nobody feels like the third wheel in this breakfast. Strawberry jam, brie, and…

I wake up hungry. Literally I wake up to my stomach growling. So much so, that I honesty considered having a snack pre-breakfast. I opted for one of these right off the griddle to tide me over before I ate the stack of hotties I took pictures of. My sister bought me this griddle for christmas. It’s perfect for pancakes for a crowd, but mostly it’s perfect for pancakes for one! It makes it easier…
Yesterday was warm in the mitten, and it was the best day! I rode my bike all over town and carb loaded pizza-style with beers. It made me excited for summer. I have picnics and post-picnic cookies on my mind. I’m totally going to be making these cookies this summer. I love them! They’re basically chocolate chip cookies with some citrusy subtlety. Since orange and dark chocolate are one of my most favorite combos I…
Hacker-Pschorr is my most favorite beer. To me, it tastes like ice cream. It’s a dessert on its own! Beer for dessert? Sure. Beer IN a cupcakes for dessert WITH a beer? Even better. My friend, Alex, loves this beer as much as I do, and it was his birthday over the weekend! So you better believe I made these and brought them out to the bar. We totally drank tall boy beers with them.…
What do you guys bake when you’re baking your feelings? I tend to go the chocolate chip cookie route. They just taste all homey-like. They’re comforting, ya know? It’s even better if I happen to have all the ingredients on hand. So when I stumbled across these cookies and read about their toffee-like flavor I knew I needed them to happen immediately. And they are totally toffee-tastic. So get ready. And there is no butter allowed…
Cindy came over on Saturday and we put beer and chocolate in waffles. And if that wasn’t enough, we s’more-ifyed them. We topped them with marshmallow sauce, graham cracker crumbs, and more chocolate. These are light and tasty! They are my second favorite to the Belgian-style yeast waffles. And these guys are low-maintence! The batter doesn’t need to rest at all. It’s never tired. I already have plans to make these guys again and top them with…

Let’s fry our breakfast. Let’s roll it in sugar. Let’s toast with donuts. Cheers! My mom used to make us these tasty Romanian donuts on very special occasions; Christmas, mostly. She would put a giant plate of them in the center of the table and we’d all sit there patiently with a cup of sugar ready for dunking. My mom grew up eating these too! This recipe is from my Great Grandma, Sophie, and it’s…
