As a kid, my favorite part of Easter was the Easter egg hunt – finding as many plastic eggs as I could, cracking them open, then devouring all the goodies inside. As an adult, I still love Easter candy (and will definitely be hitting up CVS for discounted chocolate next week), but my new favorite thing to do on Easter…read more »

Moist and tender crumb, tons of delicious banana flavor, and topped with delightfully crunchy sweet streusel bits. It’s perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or…pretty much any time you want a delicious treat. And, did I mention…read more »
Garden Scramble
When I told Dan I wanted to go GF, his immediate reaction was confusion (what’s gluten?), followed closely by panic. Was this the end of his gluten eating days? No more bread? No more cookies? OMG, was I trying to starve him? No. I was not. In fact, we’ve been eating better than ever since I…read more »
Buttermilk Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce
Happy Monday, everybody! What did y’all do this weekend? Dan and I were shockingly social and productive — instead of lounging around in our PJs and playing video games all day, we actually went out and did stuff. We ran errands, got long overdue haircuts, discovered a great new seafood place within walking distance of…read more »
Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Egg Crepes
The problem with being addicted to Food Network is that it makes me want to eat all kinds of things I can’t have (because it’s midnight and I don’t have deep fried bacon in the house), and definitely should not have (seriously…don’t let me eat fried bacon). Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives is the worst. Every…read more »
Omelette in a Mug
So, once again, Dan has abandoned me for the mountains of Tahoe. And guys? It’s pretty great. (Sorry Dan!) The house is quiet, my Kindle is loaded with new murder mysteries just waiting to be read, I’ve got The Hunger Games playing on TV, and there are two sleepy cats purring up a storm on either side…read more »
Pork Belly Benedict
Guys. Have you ever tasted roasted pork belly? Are you aware that it is the most delicious thing ever? It’s super rich, fork-tender and flavorful, and has the most wonderful caramelized crispy bits. If I weren’t on a wedding diet, I’d definitely eat this stuff every single day. Holla at you later, arteries — pass…read more »
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
You know how some people really, really love McDonald’s? I’m not one of them. The burgers are boring, the fries are uninspired, and frankly, the inexplicably boneless yet rib-shaped McRib meat patty freaks me out. Seriously guys, what is in those things? Nevermind, I don’t want to know. Clearly, I am not McDonald’s target audience….read more »
Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
We bought the strangest bunch of bananas last week. They were green when we got them, which is fine, but what’s unusual is that they stayed green. We kept waiting for them to ripen and turn yellow so we could eat them, but…they just kept on being green until suddenly there were 7 very brown and…read more »
Popovers with Orange and Honey Butters
So, Mother’s Day is tomorrow. Normally I would buy my mom flowers and either take her out for brunch or cook her a delicious meal at home, but…my mom is currently vacationing with my dad in China. Based on our phone calls I gather that she is hanging out with friends, eating delicious 10 course…read more »
