seasoned flour {homemade shake ‘n bake}
See? I’m not trying to ruin you. I get that your inferior bodies can’t handle the massive quantities of butter and sugar that this here finely tuned machine can. So this one’s for you; no sugar, no caramel. You can munch on a chicken leg, scarf back some baby carrots, and feel pretty good about yourself.…
Read Morewhite chocolate ice cream
I’d like to start by thanking all of you for your kind comments and emails regarding my baking school news. It means more to me than I can express without getting mega sappy on ya. I’m feeling more and more excited for September, and maybe even a little braver. Also, I’d like to thank you…
Read Moreweekend salmon
Hello, friends. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve slowed down on my posts a little. Not because I don’t want to be here; quite the opposite, actually. I love you in a way that makes other people very uncomfortable. But I’m having a wee problem with writer’s block. Well, not writer’s block exactly.…
Read Morerosemary cornmeal crackers
. . . Question: why haven’t I been making crackers? Huh? Why have I wasted so much time eating crackers from a box when I could be eating crackers from my own oven? Redonkulous. Another question: do you have any comprehension of how much time I would save in my weekly routine if I just…
Read Morecaramilk brownies
How’s it going, friend? You aren’t on a diet are you? Because I made these brownies for you. And me. Okay, I made them mostly for me. I made these brownies because returning to work last week was… stressful. Wanna know what I think of January so far? I kinda think it sucks donkey balls. But…
Read Moreroasted cauliflower salad
. . . 2.0 turned 40 in September, and I’m supposed to turn 40 in May. I’m thinking that I might opt out. Mostly because if someone were to give me a box of Lucky Charms to dive into (no milk, thank you very much), I would. Once you turn 40, you aren’t supposed to…
Read Moreolive oil and fleur de sel crispie treats
The inspiration for these little crispie treats came from three people: Pussycat, Carol, and 2.0. When I was visiting Pussycat last month, she described her hardcore belief that swapping out the butter for olive oil and fleur de del in this recipe was very bourgeoisie. (You could probably leave the couch for a minute to look that up…
Read MoreP. Kitty’s White Chocolate Coconut Shortbreads
Dear People Who Don’t Like Swearing, You probably shouldn’t read this post. Sincerely, movita beaucoup . Back in November, when I was visiting with Pussycat, she told me about her idea for some super awesome shortbreads. As we were baking them, she proclaimed, “this is some next level pioneer shit.” And that became our working…
Read Moreself-frosting chocolate cupcakes
Alright, I need you to to be realistic. When I say self-frosting cupcakes, I need you to understand that we’re not talking about a buttercream frosting here. That would be redonkulous. Honestly, how is a cupcake going to cream the butter and pipe icing onto itself? Use your heads. But these cupcakes do have a…
Read Morehaddy’s shrimp pasta
I’ve noticed that every blogger who cares about food in the least is presenting you with wonderful holiday treats these days. I’ve spent part of the morning reading about cookies, cakes, loaves, and candies. Beautiful photos of sparkly bits and bobs. Tales of holidays past. So, I present to you: shrimp pasta. Festive, right? Well,…
