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…
Cakes
Brown Butter Blueberry Dutch Baby
YES YES YES! This post makes me super excited because I can’t stop thinking about how. darn. delicious. this recipe was! So good. Seriously. I’m all over it. We’ve spent the last week traipsing around the Oregon Coast with my family, which was great fun. The plan was to go do the Rogue River, as…
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…
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…
Strawberry Shortcake Greek Yogurt Popsicles {with Chobani!}
{Full-disclosure: I received free yogurt from Chobani, but all opinions are my own.} Have you guys tried Chobani Greek Yogurt? Chobani makes a huge variety of flavors of Greek yogurts, all of which look amazing! I know the ones I’ve tried have definitely been phenomenal. I like Chobani because they don’t use any preservatives or…
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…
Raspberry Rhubarb Pie with Cream Cheese Crust
My faith in life is restored! Woohoo! We finally found a place to live, so you can stop worrying about us being homeless. I was a little worried, honestly. Places here in Bozeman are few and far between, usually really sub-par (dingy even by college-student standards), and not always ideally located. After seeing too many…
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,…
Strawberry Vanilla Mint Galette
{Have you entered to win a KitchenAid mixer yet? I’m giving one away here!} Before this last week of incredibly rainy Bozeman weather, it was feeling like summer! Too hot to go running mid-day (well, 70 F), deliciously sunny, and PERFECT pie weather! I’ve been craving pie. Like you wouldn’t believe. The issue is…
Raw Kiwi-Banana Tarts {Sugar Free!}
Oof. Yesterday was a sad day! No in any life-shattering way, but a really nostalgic way: we’re probably going to have to move. BOO. We LOVE the house we’re in now. It’s an adorable little 2-bedroom red/white bungalow, two blocks from Main Street, two blocks from the farmer’s market, two blocks from the trails, built…
Cake Batter Waffles
Muahaha. I feel like pure evil for posting this recipe. But, on the other side, at least one person will probably google “how to make waffles from cake batter” and find this helpful. So, dear Googler, you are welcome. To the rest of you, I apologize and encourage you (again) to get out your stretchy…
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…
Macadamia Mocha Brownies
Oh, you’re welcome! In advance, I mean. You’re welcome for these brownies. #sodelicious It’s Friday, you’re psyched for the weekend, you’ve (hopefully) had an AWESOME week, you (hopefully) have AWESOME plans for the weekend: life is great, right? Right. But what would make it even better? Well, these brownies. Obviously. (I almost just wrote “obvi”…
Brown Butter Blueberry Muffins
Let’s all take a moment and be grateful for Joy the Baker. I’ve liked her from the moment I discovered her blog, but after yesterday I have a new-found love for all things JTB. Can we call her that? I hope so. She has seriously delivered in the muffin department, as I discovered yesterday. I…
Skinny Raspberry Cheesecake
Don’t tell Derek I made him a healthy cheesecake for his birthday… but I totally did. Sorry I’m not sorry! Despite this being a lightened-up cheesecake, it just might be the best I’ve ever made! I used two blocks of normal cream cheese, two blocks of neufchâtel, and one cup of Chobani Non-fat Plain Greek…
Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
I feel like there is an unspoken rule that, if you’re having guests over for dinner, you shouldn’t try anything new. You’re not supposed to make an unknown entity, just in case it doesn’t actually live up to your expectations. Generally, I like to ignore this rule. Generally, that works out quite well. Case in…
