When our friends Dave and Lynh got married a few years ago, a group of us got together before the ceremony and treated ourselves to a bottomless brunch at a tapas place near the venue. Getting the party started early, ya know? That’s how we roll(ed). And it was a fabulous time – good food, good company, bottomless mimosas and bellinis….read more »
Sunday Brunch: Overnight Lemon-Glazed French Toast Bake
Today’s brunch post is brought to you by a slight cold, laziness, and a craving for citrus fruits. Confused? Allow me explain. Because Spring is a cruel b****, the weather outside keeps jumping insanely from “man, it’s so nice outside, I don’t even need a jacket” to “holy crap, I can’t feel my face” temperatures. This, combined with the…read more »
Sunday Brunch: Popovers & Blackberry Butter
Now that Spring is officially here, and the days are longer, brighter, and generally nicer, I’m determined to start making the most of our time outside of the office. Starting with the weekends. No more huddling on the couch for hours at a time, watching reruns of Deadwood (or Castle…or Big Bang Theory…), eating cold leftover…read more »
Pumpkin Muffins with Brown Butter Glaze
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Sorry about the lack of Snacktastic Sunday post last week, but I was too worn out from our cabin adventures to cook anything for the Patriots game. We ordered Chinese takeout instead, and it was delicious. You know what else is delicious? These muffins! So far this fall I’ve been reveling in my love for…read more »
Cinnamon Apple Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup
I may have failed to produce any edible football watching snacks last weekend, but I did manage to put together a pretty great breakfast for us Sunday morning. Crispy oven-fried bacon, scrambled eggs with goat cheese, a big tasty pile of these fluffy cinnamon apple pancakes, and the most amazing apple cider syrup to drown said pancakes in. So much…read more »
Pumpkin Bread Pudding Mug Cake
A few weeks ago, I got an email from Jennifer, blogger friend and genius behind Kirbie’s Cravings, asking me if I wanted a media review copy of her new 5-Minute Mug Cakes cookbook. Did I want a free copy of her awesome new book full of fabulous new mug cake recipes??? Hahahaha. Wait, was that a real question? Considering the…read more »
Runny Fried Egg, Kale & Beet Toasts
Fun fact: when you eat nothing all day but nachos, pigs-in-a-blanket dipped in ketchup and blue cheese, and hot & sticky slow cooker chicken wings (recipe forthcoming), and then you drink a bunch of Diet Coke and a single glass of red wine to wash it all down, and you are no longer 18-25 years old, you wake up the…read more »
Glazed Cinnamon Apple Braided Bread
So, Labor Day has come and gone, which I guess means that summer is almost over? I have very conflicted feelings about this. On the one hand, I’m not ready to give up warm weather, fruity blended cocktails, or my cute summer dresses/sandals (layering for warmth is not my best look). On the other hand, I’m…read more »
Flour Bakery Sticky Buns + Anniversary…and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}
Exactly 1 year and 19 days ago, I married my best friend. To be honest, typing that makes me cringe a little – usually I’m the person that secretly judges other people for posting gushy love notes to/about their significant others online for everyone to see – but it’s a true statement, and I stand by it (I never said I wasn’t…read more »
Oeufs en Cocotte + Paris
Hi y’all…it’s me! What’s going on with you? Sorry about the lack of posts here at Just Putzing Around the Kitchen the last two weeks, but I’ve been on vacation! And then I was jet-lagged, so there wasn’t much of any action in my kitchen. Also, I lost my camera cable thingy in Iceland and…read more »
