I bought the good corn meal this week, and right on the front of the bag was a recipe for my dream pancake. I might’ve been tempted to make these for dinner throughout the week, but I held out until this morning, and I’m going to be honest when I say that I ate these as I made them (I couldn’t resist!) … the ones on the party plate were reserved for Jake. Last Sunday…
Breakfast is really important to me. It’s right up there with black coffee and dessert. So I guess it goes to show that when there’s chocolate involved in a muffin, I’ll be down. Down all the way. These guys have skills. They will make your early morning feel not so early and they’ll make your late morning feel less lazy. So needless to say, you should make these. And they’re so cute you might want…
Attention RSS subscribers! Please resubscribe! My site moved from one host to another this weekend and I’d hate for you to miss out on new posts. So, please resubscribe. I’d really miss you. Ok. On to muffins. I’ve learned a few things this weekend besides the fact that that you guys should totally resubscribe to my blog because of my host change. One being, when the bottom of a recipe from my mom says “makes oodles…
So I guess I’m the type of girl who will get up at 7 am solely to make whipped cream to top a pie to eat for breakfast. That’s just what needs to happens when a pie is assembled 10:30 pm, but it has to chill in the fridge for a couple hours before slices can be pretty. I guess I’m the type of girl who gets bullied by pie crust sometimes and learns the…
Mother’s Day is tomorrow. And my mom lives 14 hours away! I wish I could give her one of these tarts because she loves raspberries more than any lady I know. My mom’s kind of lady who bakes cookies for no reason and brushes pie crusts with chocolate to take them up a notch. She appreciates bakeries and teeny shortbreads and makes homemade dog treats for her little Lucy all the time. Basically, she’s a…
I can count on Jake making pizza every week. I can count on Elliot mistaking a tulip for a squirrel and trying to fight it. (He gets embarrassed when we go up close and he realizes it’s just a tulip.) I can always count on being hungry for corn bread topped with honey, and these scones have that cornbread and honey thing that I find completely irresistible. These guys are best warm, right out of…
I don’t have an ice cream maker. What I do have is 10 minutes, chocolate and a dream. This ice cream is magic because instead of needing to be churned for hours, it can be fluffy and glorious simply by folding whipped cream all up in some chocolate. A few bites in and this magical ice cream was compared to mousse, which is probably what most ice creams want to be compared to. Sometimes I’m…
All I know is that at my friend’s wedding last weekend I had a strawberry cheesecake cupcake. I think that cupcake memory is why these hit the spot as the perfect girls night treat. These guys have it all. Graham cracker goodness, strawberries and cake with a cheesecake center. Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes {makes 12} Recipe adapted from my childhood + The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook Ingredients: cake – 1 cup all-purpose flour scant 3/4 cup sugar 1…
When this was baking, my kitchen smelled like an ice cream parlor … or maybe like a waffle cone. So, that’s probably reason enough to make this, right? I decided to use some of my miscellaneous chips for this. They look pretty, eh? Make these crunchy guys! Package them up for friends. Give them to your boyfriend! Leave them at home for when there is a snacking necessity. And look at that down there! These…
I have a new oven! So I have cake! Have you ever been to a cake wedding? This may as well have been one. A lemon cake and some blackberry sauce eloped, and nobody judged them. Have you ever eaten blackberries and felt like you were getting bullied by seeds? Well, don’t bother worrying about that with this delicious sauce topping this lemony cake. After blending the sauce ingredients, you simply strain it through a…
