Chewy Brownies

I realized the other week that I am no longer "cool." All this came about in a conversation with my brother who is, coincidentally, "cool." He was playing his music and I was listening like the awesome big sister I am and I asked him if people could krump to it. That's right. Krump. Because I thought krumping was what youngsters were into these days.

And I glanced at him and he was laughing and trying not to show it, and I was informed that krumping is no longer a thing; people just dance. 

I referenced a thing as though it were cool while blissfully unaware that said thing had ceased being cool. It's happened, world. I have crossed the line into irrelevance . . . at least where pop culture is concerned. Aaannnd given the rise of the twerking phenomena, I'm finding I am actually totally okay with this. 

But you know what? After a long search, I have found a recipe for a chocolaty, chewy brownie that will rock your world . . . even if it's a world in which krumping does not exist. And personally, I think that's pretty cool.

Cinnamon Swirl Rolls

It's summer. I know. We're all supposed to be lying face down on our couches with the AC set to precisely 63 degrees while imagining cold things like Frosty, sno-cones, and the Alps. We are not - under any circumstances - supposed to turn on the oven. But then I thought of puffed, delicious dough, swirls of sugary cinnamon, and sweet! thick! icing! and promptly forgot all of that oven nonsense.

Raspberry Streusel Bars

Butter. Butter, raspberries, and almonds, actually. I don't think there's much more that needs to be said.

Almond Granola with Dried Fruit

Recently I decided regular cereal no longer sounded good. I have no real explanation for this. I just woke up one morning and felt like I wanted a simple cereal without anything artificial in it. So I made granola. Story of my life - there's no explaining sudden cravings.

Grandma Pizza


Pizza abounds here in 'murica. We love our pizza. I love my pizza; so much so, I had this particular variety for my birthday dinner. It was stupendous, and I have a very specific reason for thinking so.
