Sorry Ghostbusters. I know times are tough, but I think I’ll keep these ghosts around. A ghostly Oreo haunting is right up my alley.
Seriously, these Oreo truffle bites are SO good. Like, lick the bowl out good. And their chocolatey goodness comes from only 2 ingredients. So, delicious, easy, what more could you ask for?
Oh, they’re also freakin’ adorable. Continue reading
What’s creepier than snacking on bones?
Dipping them in gooey marrow first, of course! Continue reading
Yum. That’s all I have to say about these.
Y.U.M. YUM!
Seriously, I taste tested one (cook’s privilege you know), and quickly devoured 2 more as soon as they were cool enough to handle.
Could anything cheesy, garlicky, and wrapped in puff pastry every be a bad idea? Nope. And the best part? They’re so simple to make. Continue reading
Since it’s Halloween and all, I thought I’d thought I tell you a scary story. A story that will turn your hair white, make you leave the lights on at night, and check the closets before you go to bed.
Ok, possible exaggeration…and potentially the only scary behavior exhibited in this story was done by me, but I will leave you to decide for yourself. Continue reading
Looking for a Halloween treat with some gross-factor?
Would crispy, crunchy beetles do the trick? Continue reading
Happy almost-Halloween everyone! I love love LOVE this time of year. The time of year when my slightly (Ok, more than slightly.) odd love for all things strange can grab the reigns, and I can gobble up candy while scaring myself silly watching the commercials for horror films coming out soon. Yes, it’s true, I am not enough of a big girl to watch the actual movies, the commercials are frightening enough.
It’s also the time of year I get to post my Halloween series! This year there are treats both sweet and savory, time-consuming and quick, and those for the crafty and for the first-timer. Enjoy!
Sometimes you get that last minute Halloween invite. The one you didn’t see coming. So you pull your old Halloween costume out of the closet, and try to figure out what the heck you can bring that looks like you put effort in, but in reality took you less time than it did to throw together your disco-pirate costume. Sure, you say, like that’s possible.
This, my friends, is where the bat brownies come in. Continue reading
So…turns out I get a little excited by fall produce at the farmer’s market.
Like…buying 12 pounds of apples excited. And then contemplating buying more. Until my boyfriend points out what a ridiculous idea that is, and how am I ever going to use all these apples?
Enter applesauce. Continue reading
Mmm…butternut squash. So tasty, but so funny looking. And have you tried to peel and chop those things? Not an easy task.
Too awkwardly shaped to peel in a coherent way, and slowly oozing sticky juices, it can become a kitchen disaster pretty quickly. Not to mention the arm workout you’ll get trying to slice that thing!
So why bother?
Because butternut squash is like vegetable candy. Bake it, roast it, and you’ve got a magical little veggie that brings Autumn to your table. Continue reading
Breakfast is something I never spend enough time on.
When I’m running around in the morning getting ready, I only make time for some Greek yogurt and granola, or whole wheat toast, maybe some eggs if I’m feeling fancy.
And on the weekends, I find the allure of my cozy bed and fluffy pillow far too distracting to wake up early enough to make a time consuming breakfast.
But I might have to make time now. Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s the last day of September. Fall pounced on me this year, leaving me surprised when apples started to replace tomatoes at my local farmer’s market.
My response? Panic buy tomatoes. Of course. As any sane person would do, right? Continue reading
