Cheeeeeese! Say cheese. Say wine. Wait, don’t say anything, your mouth is full. So as you well know, last week we traveled south to visit lake houses, new houses, old friends, all the family, so many gremlins, a few pets, and I took cheese BECAUSE THAT IS WHO I AM. (much to Aaron’s chagrin.) You […]
Um, hello yes, goodbye forever. CROSTINI. Talk about some major summer noshies, guys. It’s that kind of snack that’s like, obnoxiously balanced. And EASY. Ugh, so easy. You have crusty, garlicky baguette slices, more sautéed garlic, perfectly-seared zucchini rounds, topped with cheese shavings. But not just any ol’ cheese shavings. These have Roth’s insanely delicious […]
It’s less a snack, and more . . . a means of survival. I MEAN, it’s brutally hot out there. Highs in the upper 90s with a heat index of STOP IT. And you’re probably like, “No way am I turning on the oven, girlfriend.” I know. I’ve got you covered. But let’s talk about […]
AS IN, I BAKED A MUFFIN. There is one thing I have surely learned on this month-long relocation. (BESIDES ALL THE THINGS) And I knew it and practiced it before, but it is now so ingrained in my day-to-day, small-humans-all-around-me-all-the time-so-help-me-God life. SNACKS. Have snacks. Have so many snacks. Snacks on the counter, snacks in […]
THEY WORKED. The gougères that I was having a mammoth anxiety attack over before I even started making them. THEY WORKED! What’s a gougère? It’s a French cheese puff! A pastry of sorts. Savory. Life giving. And you know, I don’t know why I was so sissified to make them. They’re actually quite easy. You […]
MORE LIKE FUNDUE. (oh please, you 100% saw that coming.) Baaaaack in the day, when Aaron and I were freshly married and living in our downtown loft in Kansas City and I had a good tight neck, we hosted annual Christmas Fondue parties. Like, every year for YEARS. For maybe three years. So not every […]
Bites, Nuggets, Bombs, Gobs, Blasts. You know. GUYS. The gremlins are about to be home, in my house, in my face, under my feet, in my way, in the air, for t w o w e e k s. (send wine.) So I made pizza rolls! For myself! Just kidding, for them. And myself. And […]
It’s still after school snack season, right? It totally is. I’ve been wanting to make something like these FOREEEVERRRR. (<–sandlot style) Little quick snack bars made with REAL BUTTER, honey, brown sugar, pinch of cinny, puffed rice, salty sunflower seeds, my entire face. Serious after school snack. They’re insano easy to pull together, too! Lemme […]
We’re going to pretend I’m super into March Madness right now. Because nachos! Nachos aren’t really even game food. I mean, they ARE. But for me they’re more like, get-in-my-face-all-the-dang-time food. I have a love/hate relationship with nachos. The LOVE part? Uh, how can one not appreciate a giant platter of crunchy carbs topped with […]
*This post is definitely sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company. But all honesty and ramblings are totally my own. We coo?* Are we over pumpkin yet? I’m going to pretend the answer is never. Because you knooooow you’ve had that lone ranger can of pumpkin puree in your pantry since Watergate. And you knoooooow you’ve […]
