Seriously these make no sense and are in no order except for the first one the first one rules our life currently. *This week is brought to you by the phrase: You can’t bleed a turnip. *Reminder: I am not home all day sitting on the computer waiting for you to email me with a question. So demanding immediate response because you are in the middle of making it probably isn’t going to happen. Also, my blog will be 8 years old this year (wow) and my memory is not as good as it used to be so try not to get mad at me when you ask about a recipe from 2007 that I don’t remember if it made 24 or 28 cupcakes. *Speaking of that I rarely put serving sizes on this blog. You know why…because that means something different for everyone. Only on cupcakes…and even then if you tend to over fill you won’t get the right amount. Almost everything I make tends to be one serving…sometimes two. ;) *Lesson learned: The worst time to realize that you haven’t eaten all day is when … [Read more...]

Some of you saw on FB my yummy looking French Toast we made yesterday for the kids. Funny story: I kept telling everyone that I had made Cinnamon Raisin Brioche…because I thought I had. Until I sliced it open only to realize that I did not make Cinnamon Raisin Brioche just Cinnamon Swirl Brioche. Oops. So I quickly scanned the kitchen and sure enough over in the corner was the little bowl of raisins all measured out. :) Dear mind…where have you gone? Please come back. Nonetheless that was some serious insanely good French toast and totally worth me making the bread for it. And yes, I made the bread purposefully just to be made into French toast. MDP thinks it’s cool and slightly mental all at the same time that I do things like that. If baking bread purposefully for French toast is the most crazy thing I do I think we are all doing alright. And of course to make it better for us we made sure to use heavy cream instead of milk in our French toast egg batter. :P I had a crazy … [Read more...]

Great Expectations…

January 6, 2011 by · 31 Comments

First off let me just say thanks for the support in my right to not choose proper grammar on this blog. :) And now on to today’s topic: Several of my friends commented lately about being in a funk. Many of them felt that way because their holidays didn’t go how they had planned, they didn’t get everything in they hoped to get in, etc… Or some of them are in a funk because they didn’t get accomplished all that they had planned in the 2010 calendar year. Rosa over at Rosa Yummy Yums, wrote an excellent post about this. Why do we feel the need to set the bar so high, especially around the holidays? I have friends who were upset that they didn’t get to string their own popcorn around the tree. I did that once. Mostly just stabbed myself with a needle repeatedly and just ended up eating most of the popcorn anyway. I myself had grandiose ideas of making a gingerbread house this year. Then I decided to save time I would just buy a premade one and decorate it. Still didn’t … [Read more...]
