I am a big fan of an alternate chip. I like a peanut butter chip. I love a cinnamon chip. And now… I found these maple chips in Target the other day! So I had to buy some. They just fell into my cart. Hopped right off the shelf. They practically whispered the recipe for…
Buttermilk Elote Pasta
This past Christmas, I got everything off of my wish list, including… buttermilk powder! I’ve been making things with it throughout the year – it was even included in one of my State Fair entries! But I’m still always looking for more ways to incorporate it. So when I saw this recipe from Bon Appetit,…
Salted Egg Yolk Shortbread
I’m new to salted egg yolks. I have seen the flavor before, but always just assumed it was something I couldn’t make at home. It just seemed intimidating. But turns out… salted egg yolks are comically easy to make. You put some egg yolks in salt for 24 hours and then bake them low and…
Pistacharoos
My sister recently purchased some Pistachio Cream from Costco, but she didn’t realize quite how sweet it was. (It claims it uses “no refined sugar!” but has 13g of added sugar… that’s unrefined…) So she gave it to me to bake with. I have made some good use of it – macarons, cake, and now……
Mini Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaves
After all that talk last week about how much I hated living in LA, I feel like a good chaser is talking about how much better Minnesota is. I feel like I’m still discovering new things every week (as with living in any city I guess). But one major thing: I live within very close…
The LA Years: What looks good… but is actually not worth it – Macarons
I frequently thought of doing a photo series in LA called something dramatic like “The Other Side of the Camera.” Basically, it would be a photo series of side-by-sides where one photo is one you would typically see on an influencer or celebrity’s instagram. The kind that makes LA look like a beautiful and glamorous…
The LA Years: A little heroin at 3:30 in the afternoon (or maybe just some Almond Lemon Poppyseed Cookies?)
The further away I get from LA, and the more I write about it, the more I realize that the root of my issue with LA was just the sheer mental load needed to exist there. It was too high. You could argue that the mental load of being an 18-24 year old anywhere is…
The LA Years: I’d like my Old Fashioneds to cost $6, please
I think a lot of people justify living in LA, despite its issues, because they think it’s fun. They find it a busy place with lots of fun things to do. You’re never bored, the city is alive, there’s always something going on, blah blah blah. I could not have found this further from the…
The LA Years: If Midwesterners are so stupid, then how do you explain Hotdish?
I think there are a lot of ways you can examine the political divide in America right now. I don’t want to dive into allllll of that. But when I lived in LA, this subject really felt like the root cause of a lot of the division. To make it clear, I am no stranger…
The LA Years: Green Juice and Guns in the Grocery Store… and Hailey Bieber’s Smoothie
It is very funny to me that LA is associated with this “health-nut, green juice, wellness” stereotype. Like everyone does yoga and drinks juices and meditates and is focused on wellness. In my experience, everything about Los Angeles was pretty antithetical to my idea of health and wellness. I know I run a baking blog…
