The Bread and Breakfast
Fresh. Local. Jumbo.
Okay, I have to admit…I’ve been pretty unfair. Looking back throughout the bucket list posts of the summer, I’ve noticed how much attention the (great and tasty) country of France has gotten. Despite the fact that there are really fantastic cuisines to be found there, I feel like I should be paying more attention to …
I’m not going to even try to start with a catchy beginning here. Instead, I’m just going to give you a heads up from the start: this recipe includes over a pound of butter, and over two pounds of chocolate. Consider yourself warned. Now that you’ve had a chance to put your eyes back in your …
Hello! (Imagine that being high pitched and piercing, just like Julia.) This week, the French inspiration continues. What can I say, it’s just the home of so many great things! That’s right folks, I made macarons. No, not macaroons, like the heavenly coconut chocolate clusters, but macarons, like the crisp and crunchy cookie sandwiches. Now, …
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever eaten an apricot? No, not a dried one found at the bottom of the bag of trail mix, or one that’s been made into that jar of preserves at the back of your refrigerator. I mean, just eaten an apricot straight up. I’m guessing for most of …
Ladies and gentlemen, never fear, I am still here! That’s right. Despite my current travels, you still can’t get rid of me. In fact, you’ll be getting double-whammied in the next few weeks with bucket list posts AND road trip foodie finds. So, basically, get ready for some rumbly tummies. This week, I bring to …
Bonjour! This week, I am proudly embracing my French roots…by making French pastry of course! You see, the majority of the time, when I am asked about my nationality, I boast about my Irish heritage. My name is Erin for goodness sake. Erin Go Bragh…”Ireland Forever”? How could my response be any different? But, when …
You guys, I have to be real with you for just a minute. This project has turned me into a monster. A literal cookie monster. At this point, June is a sugar glazed blur. Don’t get me wrong, it was an incredibly tasty blur, but a blur nonetheless. I went from eating healthful food for a …
Okay, folks. I promise, after this, I’ll move on. Butttt… Happy Independence Day, again! Now, I know that this particular pie is nowhere to be found on my bucket list, but like I said in my last post, it was just too good not to share. It’s…wait for it… Banana Cream Pie! Wait, what? Similar …
Happy 4th of July folks! Well, I guess as of today, it’s Happy 6th of July… Well…who says we can’t celebrate America everyday!? As you may remember, in my first post, I mentioned that a sugar cookie with royal icing was on my bucket list for the summer. To be completely honest, sugar cookies aren’t …
As of today, summer has officially begun. I mean really, I guess for all you calendar-savvy folk, it began about a week ago. But for me, this week was the week that I finally went into full Summer mode. On Sunday, I took my first trip to the beach. While there, getting far too crispy I …
