Triple Chocolate Scones with Orange Icing
I have holes in the right elbow of most of my sweaters. I’m pretty much a ragamuffin because I keep wearing hole-y things. I suppose the only thing to do to avoid my elbow drama is to make scones. These scones will distract you from your ragamuffin ways and get your focus more on things like how to eat breakfast in a brownie outfit. Heart-shaped scones are totally encouraged all year. But since Valentine’s Day…

Mom’s Melt-In-Your-Mouth Pantry Cookies
My mom totally came up with this dreamy cookie recipe. She told me about them before she made them, texted me pictures after she made them, and sent me the recipe that very night. The next day I bought the ingredients. The thought of a cookie with tons of mix-ins, plenty of crunch and a pecan sandie-esque melt-in-your-mouth quality sounded perfect. They were just what I needed to bump me out of the funk I…

Fudge Stripe Cookies
Did you guys eat Fudge Stripe cookies as kids? Did you pop them onto your finger and casually eat them around the edges? I totally did. So these are a total memory! And an accessory! And they look so good in stripes. These taste just like the Keebler guys. And since I live in an upper flat, I’m basically baking these in a tree, right? So if you ever crave these store-bought beauties, just make…

Nutella-Filled Donuts {A Cindy + Megan Adventure}
Cindy totally came over this weekend. I’m just so glad she moved to Michigan. We have tons in common. For example, below is how these donuts came to be: C: Maybe we should make something Saturday. M: Sure! What’s something we both want? C: I always want everything. M: Me too. C: Maybe we should fry something? M: I’m looking at a donut recipe right now. So there you go. These donuts are divas. The…

My Key Lime Birthday Pie {made by Jake}
Jake believes that if you burn yourself, while cooking, the meal is guaranteed to be good. He believes in wine, bacon, and rye bread. He also believes that nobody should be making their own birthday cake. So this year, when my birthday rolled around, I opted for pie. And Jake made it! And it turned out dreamier than I even imagined! It’s perfectly tart and so bright you’ve got to wear shades. So for your next…

S’mores {Ronin Style}
Ronin is pretty much my favorite restaurant. I’m crazy for their seaweed salad, dragon roll, and their kobe beef mini burgers served with a mountain of shoe-string fries. So when they put beer in marshmallows, I knew it had to be good. I believe it was their November dessert special: guinness marshmallow s’mores with homemade graham crackers and dark chocolate ganache. Since it was a “limited time only” kind of thing, Jake and I totally…

Christmas 2011 – A Recap
I hope you all the best holiday! We ate tasty-goodness, as is our tradition. We wrote out the menu for our feast Christmas Eve. It involved breakfast, daytime snacking, and a big dinner. I made us sweet and savory crepes for breakfast. Half with strawberry jam, strawberries, and brie, and the rest were filled with crispy proscuitto, gruyere, and spinach. I’m the sweetie to Jake’s savory. We’re a food ying-yang. I pick dessert and he picks…

Mariah Christmas
That’s me* up there singing All I Want for Christmas is You! *And by me, I mean Mariah. And by Mariah I mean Merry. And by Merry I mean Christmas. I hope you all have the best day filled with amazing food, bearded hotties, and puppies in sweaters. P.S. I have the same haircut as 90’s Mariah Carey.
