Sometimes lunch is really lame. I, being the delightful face of domesticity in our home, pack Eric’s lunch every morning. Sometimes, it’s a batch of some wonderful dinner leftovers. Sometimes, it’s something I’ve made specially for lunches. But most of the time, it’s a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or something equally boring. But Eric…
homemade cashew cookie larabars.
Let’s talk snacks. Specifically, traveling, hiking, I’m starving in the car snacks. I have this horrible tendency to get hungry at inopportune moments. Like, the second we get in the car. Or right before a 20-mile bike ride. Or on the long way home from a hike. And rather than grab a snack full of…
baked apple cider donut squares.
Okay, I’m cheating on my last day of Christmas cookies. Once again, donuts tempted me out of the actual cookie-baking tradition. But I made these donuts into squares, rather than the traditional donut shape in an attempt to fool you into believing they are actually more like cookies. Let me explain why I NEEDED to…
cheery nutella bars.
Look out. Nutella again. I suppose it’s wrong to post two Nutella-loving recipes in a row, but it’s Christmas and time to throw caution to the wind. Plus, these are yummy. And ridiculously easy. And when it has been raining for 3 days straight, and 60 mph winds are whipping at your window, you need…
nutella-stuffed cinnamon sugar donuts.
I’m cheating on the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies. These are obviously not cookies. But before you think I’ve abandoned the cause, let me tell you that these essentially work in the same way that cookies do, okay? They are small, like a cookie. They are easily transported to a holiday party, like a cookie….
fudgy mocha cookies.
First of all, typing “fudgy” looks super weird. I had to double check the spelling on that one. In case you were wondering, the powers that are the internet tell me that “fudgy” isn’t even a word, but if I choose to use it as such, “f-u-d-g-y” is the correct spelling. Second of all, I…
whiskey cinnamon cookies.
Remember the whiskey cinnamon rolls? Those were awesome. And they’ve become a legend in the Ringer house. So, when I started brainstorming cookies for this year’s 12 Days of Christmas cookies, Eric suggested a cookie based on those cinnamon rolls. And the idea blew my mind. So much so that I couldn’t stop thinking about…
chubby hubby cookies.
It’s December 1, and that means it’s time for the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies! My pal, Becca, and I started this little baking tradition a few years back (when we were just little college kids baking our way through finals). We were inspired by the Food Network’s 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, but quickly…
butternut squash soup.
Soup, there it is. So, temperatures are in the upper 50’s this week, and I’m already wearing thermal shirts and wool socks. I think this happens every year when the seasons change. I get so baffled by the fact that it’s not hot anymore that I completely forget how to dress weather appropriate. If I’m…
chocolate coffee hazelnut biscotti.
So long, sunshine. See you next year. Here’s the current forecast for our dear city: So, it’s safe to say there will be lots of book reading (thanks to my new Multnomah County Library card!), warm beverage sipping, and Gilmore Girls watching over the next week. And biscotti dunking. (Or, “biscotto,” if you only have…
gwyneth’s pizza crust.
Back when I was a youngin’, I always requested pizza for my birthday slumber parties. Just a bunch of elementary school girls sitting around the dining room table, eating pepperoni pizza and debating which Hanson brother was the best (Team Zac, by the way). It doesn’t get much better than that. Now that I’m a…
sweet potato chipotle soup.
Okay. I won’t go on and on about how much I love fall, because I know the whole internet is doing that right now. Instead, I’ll just say that I appreciate no longer sweating ALL THE TIME. Of course, part of that has to do with us moving to an apartment with AIR CONDITIONING. What…
banana date muffins.
Let’s talk muffins. I love muffins. I generally dig the blueberry variety, but sometimes you have bananas rotting on the counter, and that’s when these bad boys come into play. And they are awesome. I should’ve known they would be all-star muffins because the recipe came straight from Gwyneth. And Gwyneth always leads us to…
bacon krispy bars.
Our last few hikes have involved a wonderful snack: bacon krispy bars. My pal, Megan, introduced us to this magic back in June during our Green Lakes hike. I have no idea if these actually provide any additional energy for long hikes, but eating cinnamon and bacon brings me a lot of joy, so we…
snickerdoodles.
For my final cookie of this 12 day baking extravaganza, I made one of Eric’s favorites. Eric loves snickerdoodles, and I was a total snickerdoodle hater before we got married. Then I found this recipe, added some toffee chips, and fell in love with the cookie. For snickerdoodle purists, these are also really good without…
