Today is the day that a new FULL SIZE oven will be delivered to my flat. I’m pretty excited … still thinking about what to make in it first. All, I know is that we are for sure making dinner tonight and I’m for sure making dessert. But first things first … peanut butter and chocolate hung out in my kitchen last night. The peanut butter mingled with some graham cracker crumbs and even canoodled…
Ok. Arm yourself with a microwave and make these candy bars and pass them out to anyone and everyone that knows that s’mores are where it’s at. These will bring your kitchen and belly all kinds of no-bake love. Repair guys don’t bother repairing things on weekends. What’s up with that? I’m crossing my fingers that today is the day that the repair guy will fix my oven, but until then, make these super simple…
Ok, evidently my oven is feeling under the weather. It’s just tired and doesn’t feel like being warm. AND it might’ve leaked gas all night, but since I sleep with my door shut I had no idea. So there you go. Last night before all the oven drama I made my first batch of Strawberry Jam of the year! I even used the super cool jelly jars my grandma gave me. I just love how…
Sandwich cookies are a way to eat two cookies when you’d normally only allow yourself one. So there’s that. These cookies are so good you might want to just eat them as you sandwich them. I won’t judge you for that. I made half of the recipe below, so I ended up with about 15 duos. Did you know that half of 3/4 a cup is 6 tablespoons or a heaping 1/3 of a cup? I…
It’s warm-ish here in the mitten. Warm enough for dog walking and strappy strappy shoe wearing and short sleeve coats and windows down driving listening to the new She & Him album and definitely warm enough for strawberries topping a tart. I’m going to be honest with you about a couple things. The first thing is that I think this would be just as amazing without the chocolate. The strawberries are enough to make this…
I knew it was going to be a good weekend when I went to the grocery store and bought just the necessities: a chocolate bunny, fancy shmancy almond extract and flower cookie cutters. My plans to make flower shaped Denver Biscuits failed, but my first attempt at a torte for Easter turned out like a dream! This cake is made with German Chocolate and it’s topped with a cocoa + almond whipped cream frosting miracle.…
Hey cashier, Why’d you try to ring up that lady’s gum with my groceries? I guess I could’ve bought it for her but I don’t know her … and I am totally ok with the fact that you rang up Katie’s lunch with my groceries even though she told you it was hers and not mine. I’m ok with that. I like buying Katie lunch. Hey oil change dudes, Thanks for not calling me “sweetie”…
Sometimes I get impatient when I have to wait until Tuesday to watch Law and Order and sometimes I get impatient eating dinner when there’s dessert. I usually get impatient about breakfast as I’m going to bed and I was really impatient about trying one of these muffins right out of the oven. I ran out of kosher salt right after I ran out of patience … I might have used sea salt in these out…
When I was growing up we maybe put peanut butter and maple syrup on these. So there’s that. Regardless of what you top these with, they are delicious. They are delicate and puffy and buttery and the edges are a touch crispy. I placed about a cup and half in each cake pan and they puffed up in the oven like a dream. German Pancakes {makes 2 or 3 pancakes} Ingredients: 8 T butter, divided 2…
Don’t bother biting these guys in half. Eat them in one bite like sushi! And then eat at least one more, ok? These little lemony delights use olive oil instead of butter and are flavored with real fruit! So there you go! Lemon-Scented Olive Oil Mini Muffins Recipe from Cooking Light Ingredients: muffins – 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 t baking powder 1/4 t salt scant 1/2 cup light sour cream…
