Oreo Brownie Cupcakes




As you may recall, I have a sister named Piggie. Yes, that is her name. You may not take her for a Piggie at first. She looks more like an Abberlooski. But if you hang around her long enough, you will understand.

Chocolate Granola



Granola is my weakness.

Oh and chocolate. That's my other weakness.

Treacle Tart

 

I love Harry Potter. It's true. I have read the books multiple times. I have watched the movies multiple times. I have dreams that I'm Dumbledore's teacher's-pet. I find sticks in the yard and pretend that they're magic wands. I bake Harry's favorite food.

Rosemary Garlic Chicken Fried Chicken


Chicken fried chicken. You see it on the menus at restaurants all the time. You wonder what it means.

Are they trying to portray some sort of suave James Bond-ishness? "The name's Chicken. Fried Chicken."

Cherry Pie


Farmers' markets- one of the many things that make summer the best time of the year. 
Cherries- one of the many things that make the farmers' market the best place of the summer. 
Michigan- the place from which cherries burst forth.
Cherries- one of the few things that make Michigan worthwhile. It's ambiguous purity is not one of those few things. 
Pie- the purest of desserts (I'm being ambiguous). 
Cherries- the filling of the best pie the world has ever seen, lovingly created by the sisters Yammie and Nemo.

Raspberry Zinger Cake

Divine providence. It displays itself often in my life. Like the other day when I was taking the kids out to ice cream and Boots wanted to go to the junkiest ice cream place in town that displays scary, old dolls on shelves on the walls. Somehow I ended up agreeing. As it turned out, a farmer was selling gigantic, fresh tomatoes on the side of the road there which I would never have found otherwise. Now tell me if that is not divine providence.

Grandma's Potato Salad


 We went on a vacation. We came home. I am depressed.
