You know how everyone always puts their best face forward on Facebook and Instagram? No one (well, except one person I follow) ever seems to have a bad day and everyone’s families, spouses, children and pets appear cheery, clean, and (for the most part) perfectly lit while loving life in every photo. We all know life …
It’s my first mother’s day tomorrow and I’m psyched! Psyched for promised pancakes to be made my husband, psyched to go to my good friend’s house for homemade pizza, and psyched for my little guy finally feeling good after being sick for a week. I was ill-prepared for how gut wrenching it would be to …
In prep for the big Irish Day, Bon Appétit emailed the masses a photo/recipe for a Guinness Affogato earlier this week. One quick read of the ingredients; Bailey’s Irish Cream, Guinness, espresso and ice cream, and I knew it was something I had to make and put it in my gob as soon as possible.
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a new love in my life, as I gave birth to a baby boy exactly one month ago today.
In my last post I mentioned toaster oven chocolate chip cookies for two. Again, this is about all the baking/creativity I’ve been able to manage lately. When The Hubs isn’t home, it seriously comes down to living off of what I can make in the toaster oven. I don’t know about you, but when I make cookies …
Let me begin by saying, this is not from scratch, not even remotely. I’ve thrown scratch out the window and replaced it with ease these past couple of months… I’ll tell you what, this pregnancy thing is not all it’s cracked up to be… I’m 35 1/2 weeks preggo and I think I’ve spent more time …
My parents came to visit last month and I was able to kill two birds with one stone, um, I mean, cookie. I got to make our traditional family cookie with my mom AND participate with said cookie in the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap! A Christmas family tradition of ours is to make “Nana’s …
This is a wonderful recipe to bring to Thanksgiving. It’s great because it will stay warm for an hour after you remove it from the oven! Apple Pandowdy, what a silly name, eh? I had to look up what the hell a pandowdy was, and frankly I think this old timey dessert was definitely before …
The Hubs told me the other day he’s been buying SOME OTHER LADY’S banana bread on campus lately as a mid-morning snack. I felt as if I’d been slapped. Ok, so I haven’t baked in a while, but still!? I definitely had some rotten bananas on hand this week. Couple my rotten bananas with The Hubs eating some other …
I went to the doctor earlier this week for my 17 week pregnancy checkup and found out I haven’t gained ANY weight, (like, to the ounce!), since my last visit over a month ago. So what’s a preggo to do? Why, make chocolate chip cookies of course! I watched a clip from Martha’s main guy Thomas on …
