Disclaimer: I make no claims or promises that this is healthy or even good for you in any way. It’s pure indulgence. Wonderful, ridiculous indulgence. Because of that, I made 2 batches of regular pancakes and just jazzed up the last 4 for Hubby and I. We didn’t need any more than that. Yum. I [...]
I’ve been in a bit of a creative rut these past few days, and unfortunately, that has involved cooking anything new (or writing much, as you can tell). So, tonight, I’m making something I’ve been craving for awhile, and maybe the combination of creation and indulgence will help spark some motivation. My mom taught headstart [...]
Breakfast might be my most favorite dinner. Usually, that’s because I can justify some sort of bread doused in sugar, but not this night. This night, it was after 8 and we were starving. I was half out of it and the meal plan was flubbed, for whatever excuse I had that day, and we [...]
For some reason, I completely overlooked that this was in the “hot cereals” section and not the cold cereals. I guess I’d envisioned something Kashi would put out, with dried cranberry and pear chunks and a crunchy granola. I was a teensy bit off. This is a hot cereal- er, warmed cereal, if you’d like- [...]
Something about cereal has always made it a special treat. It has been a very long time since I have eaten cereal for breakfast with any regularity, and even then I preferred it as a midnight snack. It belongs at lunchtime when nothing else sounds good, at dinner when you’ve had a day in sweats [...]
Yeah, I’m kindof in pumpkin mode. If I make enough of it, maybe it’ll trick the seasons and we can skip ahead to fall already. Plus, why is it that a can of pumpkin has like 2 cups of it, but these recipes only call for weird amounts, like 2/3 cup? Needless to say, we [...]
There are two reasons I don’t make french toast. One- because it seems like it wipes out a whole loaf of bread in one sitting. I’m not sure why this registers in my brain as different than sandwiches for lunch, but it does. Maybe it has something to do with sandwiches being easy. I’m okay [...]
I’ve gone a little bit bulk-crazy. As soon as we recoup from the move-the-water-heater fiasco, I will have enough for my first Azure Standard bulk foods order- and what an order it will be. If all shows up, it will be six months worth of food. Actually, I’m so crazy about trying to keep things [...]
Pie crust scares me. There is a whole section of desserts that are the stuff of cravings and a good end to a bad day. Unfortunately, I’m a wuss and haven’t tried one of the pies yet. I got locked into it last night, though, when I assumed Quiche would be a quick and easy [...]
Somehow, this missed my radar a few months ago. There are two types of Muesli in this cookbook. One for summer and one for winter. Honestly, I am glad this is a blog and not a show or podcast, cos I am pretty sure I don’t know how to pronounce Muesli. Technically, I’m not even [...]
