The Bread and Breakfast
Fresh. Local. Jumbo.
Did I ever tell you that The Great British Bake Off is quite legitimately the best show ever? Oh, yes, I did. Here, and here. BUT, if you accidentally forgot to read those posts, the declaration is worth repeating. It’s wonderful. You have Paul Hollywood, buff baking pro: intimidating, silver-fox impersonating, and all around tough …
Let’s flash back to the day after Christmas, a few months ago. Feeling overstuffed and eternally bloated, I entered into an internal battle like no other. It went something like this… Bloated Erin: “Woohoo! It’s time to clean house! Truffles? See yah! Half eaten box of chocolate Santas? Adios! Raisinets floating around in my bed after …
Today, folks, we’re getting a bit sneaky. Let me explain. For the past few weeks, I’ve shared with you a couple of clean eating, but seemingly indulgent treats, to keep us on track. But, when looking at the Apple Raisin Walnut Oatmeal Bread, Mango Coconut Chocolate Granola, and the PB&J Energy Balls, it’s been pretty obvious …
Hey you! I know who you are! You’re the guy/gal who swore off all junk food when making your New Year’s Resolution last week. You’ve now been eating nothing but lettuce and carrots, like a rabbit, for a week. Late at night, as you rub your rumbling tummy, you’ve found yourself wondering about questions such …
Guys, I’m on a roll, in more ways than one. First, this makes two weeks in a row that we’re talking potential Christmas gift show stoppers. (Three, if you consider gifting some fantastic granola…) This is also the second week we’re talking fudge. Because, it’s just so damn good. And, last but not least, it’s the …
Folks, let’s talk about an experience we’ve all run embarrassingly run into. It’s Christmas Eve. You walk through the door of your family’s gathering, smelling the good smells, hearing sleigh bells jingling, feeling the holiday spirit to the max. You greet all of your loved ones, and then…you see so and so’s boyfriend, Johnny, sitting …
I’m not sure if you remember, but, a few months ago, we talked about BFFs. There are a few people/things in life that go hand in hand, always. For example, Ree and Hyacinth, peanut butter and jelly, ice cream and the beach, leggings and boots, bananas and bread. The list goes on. Well, today is a day …
A snapshot of a typical conversation Erin has with herself on any given day during the months of October through December: Erin 1: “MAN, I can’t WAIT to make that pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! I’ve been waiting all year!” Erin 2: “Woohoo! But, don’t forget about the apple pie bars you need to make for Friendsgiving …
This week’s post is pretty time appropriate folks. Why? Well, let me humbly brag for a quick second….I just successfully completed my second half marathon! And, I say “successfully”, because I had two goals in training for and competing in this event: show up and cross the finish line in any form possible (running, walking, crawling, rolling, …
I, like many other young females, spend entirely too much time browsing on Pinterest. Need a dinner idea? Pinterest. Need a lesson idea? Pinterest. Need to waste a few…hours…relaxing on a weekday evening when you should be sleeping? Pinterest. To be honest, I’m kind of in a love-hate relationship with the site. On one hand, …
