Salted Double Chocolate Muffins

April 11, 2012

chocolatemuffin

Sometimes I get to the end of the day and realize that I didn’t eat ANY vegetables all day. Like, zero. Usually it’s a Monday and it’s the day after Easter.

Wait, are there vegetables in teriyaki buffalo chicken wings?

No? No.

White Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies

brownies

I don’t mean to brag, but I just ate an extra marshmallowy bowl of Marshmallow Mateys for dinner.

And by a bowl, I mean a box.

And by Marshmallow Matey’s, I do not mean Lucky Charms. Seriously? I’m not even going to defend that.

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Healthy Cookie Dough

March 5, 2012

Cookie Dough

Today I found out that Johnnie from AT&T is my iPhone guardian angel.

The discovery all started with my annual swimsuit purchase from Marshall’s. I don’t know what that says about me, because:

Marshall’s swimsuits have the potential to fit awkwardly,
I certainly don’t need a swimsuit every year,
I certainly don’t need a swimsuit this year because we’re not going on vacation.

Malted Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Malted Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

So, you know, I’m working on this little book.

And I need things to photograph.

So I stuffed a vanilla malt into a chocolate chip cookie and poured myself a glass of milk.

Suddenly I found myself elbow deep in this buttery, crumbly, malt-y, weird looking but seriously wonderful dough. And then I ate a few dozen half-baked malt cookies. Hmm? Book? Oh yeah, that.

But seriously.

Triple Chocolate Party Balls

December 30, 2011

Once upon a time, I ate a million Triple Chocolate Party Balls. And Bjork got me an iPhone for Christmas.

I downloaded my first app: Instagram. And then I fell in love with Instagram. I played for way too long with Instagram. Everything I saw suddenly became an Instagram. I dreamed in Instagram. Psychosis?

No, I didn’t forget about the party balls. I’m actually eating one right now getting chocolate on my keyboard as I type this message to you. And my message is this: Merry late Christmas from the lens of my Instagram.

Holiday Pretzel Bites

December 14, 2011

Holiday Pretzel Bites I love dessert. And there’s only one thing that could make me not like dessert.

It’s spending 3 hours in the kitchen melting, freezing, breaking knives, getting blisters, thawing, spilling, and refreezing the most high maintenance holiday toffee recipe in the world. Yes, it happened, and there’s a bag of broken, messy toffee pieces to show for it.

That’s the last time I’ll be making that one. I draw the line at breaking knives. And/or I need to buy better quality knives. [Read more...]

Brown Sugar Cookies

brown sugar cookie

I just applied for my Masters program.

Then I ate five cookies to dull the pain.

But the pain is still there. Ouchie.

No matter how I feel about becoming a better reading teacher for K-12 (which happens to be awesome), I do not feel awesome about going back to school. How did this happen?! I thought I was done. Sob.

Pumpkin Dip for Gingersnaps

Pumpkin Dip for Gingersnaps This post is the crossroads of my teacher self and my blogger self.

You have some homework.

You need to make this glorious trio of pumpkin, cream cheese, and heavy whipping cream and bring it to a party. For me, a party is usually me and Bjork hanging out on a Tuesday night. But you can do whatever you want. [Read more...]

Ginger Melon Chillers

August 19, 2011

Pst. I need to get this off my chest.

I…..

don’t like cantaloupe. Or, as my grandma calls it, muskmelon.

With a name like muskmelon, it’s got to be, like, for old people?

I’m sorry Grandma, I’m sorry Grandpa, I’m sorry to anyone who loves this melon and has ever served it to me and I pretended to like it. But the secret is out. I’d just plain rather have a banana.

So why oh why oh why did I buy a jumbo muskmelon? [Read more...]
