I like minis. For example: my skirt could probably be considered a mini today, since it’s a shortie and my Elliot is just a little guy (14 lbs) and I order big beers at sushi restaurants because they are served in mini glasses and I always opt for mini burgers over full-size. These cupcakes just reinforce the mini-love. What do you like best? Regular-sized cupcakes or the perfect 2-biter? I also really like cookie dough…
You know what? You guys are the best. Have I told you that lately? Just know it. And thanks for stopping by and taking a sip of this lemonade. You know what else? I made a double recipe of this goodness because I wanted the only pitcher I own (that I love and never have a chance to use) to be full to the brim. P.S. The doubled recipe is below. Feel free to cut…
I’m wearing tennis shoes with my pajama dress right now. It has to do with me trying to kill a bug and instead having it fall somewhere shadowy and full of hiding spots and now I feel like it’s everywhere. I’ve failed at bug killing twice in the last week! It’s summer, don’t these bugs want to be outside? And once, Elliot licked a bug when I was hoping he’d take care of it for…
I really need to quit using my skirt as an apron. At least when I made this stuff I remembered to wear a black skirt instead of that gray one. Mashing these berries can be splashy. Just make sure you don’t wear white, ok? I love freezer jam. It comes together quickly and lasts through the snow. I can’t wait to top crepes with this stuff, fill muffins with it and eat it on toast.…
Today’s been such a fun day already. Katie and I went raspberry picking followed by some crepe eating and lots of water, iced tea and bubble tea drinking. So now I have to go to the store to get some really important things like sugar and white chocolate.
I get weird in the heat. It’s right up there with being hungry. If I get too toasty I will surely stop talking and most likely get sassy about it. If I join you for a patio lunch, just save me a spot in the shade will you? On the other hand, this is a picnic dessert for real. It doesn’t bother getting weird in the heat. So bring it to your next bbq or…
So you guys should probably know that I single-handedly ate an entire watermelon in 2 days. I miss it already. With that said, I just can’t get enough summer fruit in my life, in my belly or in my desserts. So, I figured I’d tell you Happy Fourth of July with some patriotic berries! Don’t bother considering these a dessert. Consider them a fruit-filled snack and eat a lot of them, ok? Red + White + Blue…
I’m accomplishing things today! I have a double batch of Light Brioche Burger Buns on the rise for a 4th of July BBQ tomorrow at my best friend in the world’s house and I even made these pancakes for breakfast. These pancakes are hearty … as in a burley dude would like them. They have both whole wheat flour and corn meal in them and not a speck of white flour. They are so good…
I’ve learned a thing or two lately. I’ve learned that an octopus is an animal that is very shy and can die of embarrassment. Kinda sad, right? I’ve learned that homemade enchilada sauce doesn’t even need tomatoes. And I’ve learned that flower-shaped oreos can be made at home and can be flavored with hint of coffee. These are crunchy good. Next time I make them, I’d like to fill them with ice cream. Now wouldn’t…
I had four bananas that were a way too freckled to function. They needed a home. So I figured why not put them in a cake and top them with the dreamiest frosting ever and call it a snack. Do me a favor and try not to be as impatient as I was about frosting this cake, ok? On top of it being super hot out, and hotter in my kitchen, this cake wasn’t completely…
