I feel like I ought to write something interesting for you guys today, about my life or what I’ve been doing. Truth is, I don’t have much to report. I feel lame for just talking about food all the time (“look at this awesome soup!”), but the fact is: my head is up in the…
Breads
Easy Margherita Pizza
You guys, I’ve been distracted. Besides being gone all weekend for my first real cyclocross race (check out Derek’s instagram for embarrassing videos of my looking like a total goon), I’ve been working on something big. A COOKBOOK! Woohooo! I haven’t mentioned it here because, well, then I’d have to actually complete it. But now…
Bourbon Cardamom Banana Bread
Last week I told you how I was slowly organizing my life — at least digitally. Well. Now we’re moving into the physical realm: magazines. I don’t even know how I started receiving magazines, but somehow I did! A few of them I like to read, Runners World (don’t judge!), Food & Wine, the occasional…
Blackberry Asparagus Gruyère Pizza
I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen those four words together before: Blackberry + Asparagus + Gruyère +/= Pizza? Yeah, fo reals. Back to this in a minute! This has been happening for a while, but I’ve noticed it a lot lately: people hear I’m a food blogger, or know I am and invite me to…
Brown Butter Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bars
Well, that’s a mouthful! Literally. You’re going to be shoving these in five at a time, so don’t expect to get much chatting done if you take these to your afternoon tea. Not gonna happen! This weekend was a last minute stay-at-home weekend, mostly because I had a meltdown about all the stuff I had…
Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Muffins
People keep reminding me that it’s not technically fall yet. I’m not an idiot — I know fall doesn’t start until later this month; however, um, I live in Montana. Fall is basically September and October, and a few snowfalls during that period is NOT uncommon. So cut me some slack, okay?! I’ve been wearing…
Lemon, Ricotta, Almond Meal Cake (Gluten-free)
Maybe I claimed I was doing this last week, but this week I REALLY am getting back to work. I took last week at half speed — sleeping a lot, not really cooking anything of note, cleaning up after the wedding (which I still have much more to do!), etc. I decided you fine folks…
Blueberry Muffin Coffee Cake
It must be my pre-wedding lovey-dovey nature in full bloom here, because I’m on a roll making things *specifically* for Derek. Peanut butter cookies, cookies not yet documented here, and now this piece of blueberry muffin goodness! I guess with a guy as cute as he is, I can’t help it. And he says things…
Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Skillet Pizza
OK, I’m pretty proud of this recipe. Yes, it’s like a little kid being incredibly proud of tying their shoes: it might not be that praise-worthy in the grand scheme of things, but I was REALLY excited to have figured out a way to make pizza WITHOUT a fully-functioning oven. BTW — we now DO…
Hush Puppies with Creamy Honey Orange Dipping Sauce
Since our oven is (still) broken, I’ve taken to frying all of our food. Healthy alternative, right? Ha. If you’ll remember back to my lime cake doughnuts, I’m not a very experienced fryer. I need a better (read: stationary) thermometer, and right equipment to not burn myself and splatter oil everywhere, and in general could…
Greek Yogurt Peach Pancakes {made with Chobani!}
These pancakes are a little bit of a sore subject for me. I’ll start out by saying they are FABULOUS, insanely delicious, and definitely did not disappoint. They’re from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, which I just got my hands on at the library. It’s only a 14 day book (come on!!), so I immediately came…
Skillet Breakfast Pizza
Oooh back to real life! I’m actually still making my way back to Montana, but plan to hit the ground running on Monday! Literally. I need to be running like a crazy person for the next 6 weeks. Something to fuel my running? PIZZA! Even better? Skillet breakfast pizza! Remember how I told you that…
Hot Smoked Gouda Strawberry Cheese Dip
I know I’ve been overloading you with berries. It’s summer: get over it! Those steak tacos on Wednesday were your respite from berries to real food. I’ve never really thought about combining fruit and cheese together in a hot dip, but it really makes a TON of sense. We eat pounds of brie every week,…
Raspberry Cake Doughnuts with Raspberry Glaze
Apparently today is National Doughnut Day! How fitting! I’ve been hankering to make these all week, and hearing about this “holiday” gave me the perfect excuse to do it. Did you know that this isn’t just an arbitrary “food holiday” like “National Blueberry Muffin Day” but rather has some actual historical background? Even better. Not…
Cherry Shortcakes
I didn’t really think I was a shortcake person. The closest to shortcake I’ve been in years is Derek calling me “shortcake” all the time [which totally doesn’t make since, since I’m anything but short]. Remember when I made those chocolate shortcakes a while back? I figured I only liked them because of some “oh,…
Lime Cake Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze
Two ridiculously decadent recipes in a row? YES. You are welcome, again. I’ve tried quite a few new things this year, in the culinary sense. Pho (faux pho! Ha! Thanks Lynn!), lemon bars, cheez-its — but I have been hankering to make doughnuts for a LONG time now. I’ve considered, many times, buying a doughnut…
