A guide to making life a little more fabulous
I had some dried ancho chile peppers left over from making that Esquire oatmeal, and this recipe was on the package.
I love mashed potatoes, but I think Toby loves them even more.
Sorry that swimming post was depressing.
The other day, my friend/co-worker Heidi sent me a grilled cheese slide show.
I usually wait a few days before posting things I’ve made (sometimes even longer), but I had to go ahead and show you these cupcakes I brought to work for Halloween.
Remember that apple slide show from Sunset magazine a few weeks ago? Just about everything on it looks good to me, but I made the apple corn muffins first.
There are a lot of foods I love at Thanksgiving: sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, pecan pie.
So, remember the brunch situation for which I baked 9,000 gooey cinnamon rolls? I figured that wasn’t going to be enough for the four of us.
Well, the weather outside is frightful.
Lemon bars don’t necessarily scream “Christmas,” but they are so good that it doesn’t really matter.
So, are you getting in the holiday spirit yet? Baking any cookies? Going to cookie exchanges? Getting tangled in your Christmas lights? Yelling at people who take your space in the Nordstrom parking lot? Anything? Someone (ahem) got rid of our artificial.
We can’t all afford Blair Waldorf’s fabulous clothes.
On the fifth day of Christmas cookies, I give to you: easy, low-calorie shortbread.
This is a perfect time of year to wish — like all good Miss America candidates — for world peace.
As you may know, I love vintage clothes.
I make gingerbread every year, partly because the little gingerbread men are so cute and partly because they are so delicious with pumpkin dip (recipe at the bottom).
Peppermint patties may be my favorite chocolate candy.
It’s almost Christmas! Today I was going to give you cookies AND photos of 10 lords-(aka hot guys)-a-leaping, but it is surprisingly difficult to find photos of hot guys jumping.
These cookies could really be made at any time of year, but they definitely say Christmas to me — whether you call them Mexican wedding cookies, Russian tea cakes or something else.
