Can we talk about favorite things for a second? One of my absolute most sought after snacks the last couple of weeks have been Pretzel Crisps. I am hooked and can't get enough! It all started one lovely fall morning whilst strolling through Costco.
Frozen Coconut Limeade gets me singing. Put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up? Or put the coconut in the lime and stir it all together? Nope, put the lime and the coconut in the blender and blend it all up. And that's all she wrote.
In the spirit of experimentation, I have been trying out various dessert recipes. Trying new things is something I am making a conscious effort to do more of here at i am baker. (So if you have requests, do let me know!) You may have noticed the change, maybe not.
What can I say besides...wow and wow. What a perfect summer recipe, why you ask? Because you only have to turn on the stove for like, 5 minutes, to make this incredible dessert. And it's perfect for all of the proclaimed "non-bakers" out there. And you get to make fire...it's all good to me!
I made these yogurt pots last Sunday because I needed a little comfort food. Funny how certain foods can make you feel good, and alternatively, there are some that can make you feel very, very bad. Unfortunately, the latter is what I experienced last Saturday.
On the evening of the first Saturday of every month, you can often find Jay and myself aboard a 100+-year-old ship at the Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco bellowing out melodies among hundreds of other voices. We are not part of some freakish cult (at least, not in so many words).
I've got an epic rant and popsicle post to share with you today, but first I wanted to let you know about a culinary Kickstarter campaign by my friend Vanessa, who is starting a company that produces boxes filled with 5 unique ingredients and recipes to use them.
Learn how to make fresh lemon meringue pie with this classic recipe. It's a winner! Last week, there was a birthday in da house at #neighbornights - my friend, Liam! Talk about neighbors turned into good friends. I can't really imagine life in our loft without this guy.
My sister, she's a bit of a party animal. In that super hard working, college student kind of way. She can throw a really good theme party. When I was her age, I threw dinner parties. She's young at heart. I'm in her words, an old soul.
I apologize for the less frequent blogging as of late. I've spent the last three weekends away from home, and since I usually do most of my baking during the weekend, my kitchen has been neglected. And I've been missing it terribly, much more than you, I'm sure.
