Hey guys. I really need a haircut. I also need an oil change. But you know what did this weekend instead of those things? I took down wallpaper all by myself and I made these super-pretty cupcakes because my friend Lauren wanted me to, and you know what? Lauren’s a hip lady, so there you go. Shelling a cup of pistachios isn’t so bad. Makes you feel like you’re shelling teeny-tiny shell fish. Or at…
If I had to say a moment I’m most proud of in my life, I’d say it’d be the time I made this bread pudding … and then tried to put it in a pie pan. And then it overflowed everywhere and I didn’t freak out. Instead I poured it in a spring-form pan and crossed my fingers that the layers of bread would be hip and cool like they were at first. Oh yeah…
I can’t do it, you guys. I can’t muster up motivation to vacuum. We get the keys to the new place tomorrow, and I just can’t bring myself to dust anymore. I just want to clean there and not here anymore. Do you see my point? Do you see that graham cracker bird, right there? This recipe is all about oats getting toasty with almonds. It has a little bit to do with honey and…
I’ve been called “Sir” twice in my life. The first time was when I was working at a tuxedo rental shop. I was wearing a polka dotted dress and looking very much like a lady. But after this guy was all sized up for his tux, he said, “Thank you, Sir”, and scurried out. He returned momentarily and gave me a dollar for a tip … I think he was just giving me a dollar…
Consider these the hip cousin of the petit four. Or just consider it tasty, and slice it into big pieces instead. Laura over at Rather Be Baking knows what’s up. I believed her when she said to trust her on this cake. She’s totally right; it’s the best. This is just the perfect weeknight cake. It comes together quickly, in one bowl and bakes up in only 30 minutes. Chances are you’ll want to keep eating…
First of all, please don’t judge me for eating french fries two days in a row. And, please just know that two glazes are better than one. Always. So maybe two days of french fries is better than one? We are a few days into September, so it’s only right to get moving with the pumpkin love. And these scones are the perfect start. They are mini, so you can eat them two days in…
I’m completely impatient right now. I can’t sit still. It has a little bit to do with throw pillows and shaggy rugs. It has a lot to do with with the fact that I get to move to a cute flat in a couple weeks. But for now, it’s time to drink this smoothie and try to stop wishing the days away. Banana + Honey + Cinnamon Smoothie for One Ingredients: 1 frozen banana* +…
I’m really full because I ate those pancakes right there. I put strawberry jam on them because my maple syrup stopped being cool and just started being real. Real gross. If you’re in the mood for a summery sweet pancake, this is the one for you. And do you know that there’s almond extract in these guys? It makes the strawberries sing. I can hear them now. They’re singing Lady Gaga. Now you know. Strawberry…
Gravel roads remind me of graham cracker crumbs. My childhood best friend called her grandma “grammy” and it reminded me of graham crackers. Once I ate a store-bought graham cracker crust standing in my mom’s pantry… and loved it. I’ve always loved graham crackers so I knew I’d love this recipe since it has way more graham cracker crumbs in the ingredients than anything else. Side-note: one of the eggs I used had freckles. This…
I ran out of eggs! It’s ok though because this cookie recipe is the kind that keeps it real without them. Basically these little ice cream sandwiches were meant to be. These are really good. Even though the chocolate chips didn’t want to stick to the ice cream on the sides and fell sprinkling the floor on the walk to the freezer. And maybe some of the cookies were too warm when I sandwiched them and…
