Iced Coffee Cubes

Iced Coffee Cubes

This post on Iced Coffee Cubes was originally published on July 30, 2012. It has since been updated with new photos. Do you hate when your iced coffee gets watered down the ice cubes? Why not make some iced coffee cubes so that your coffee will never get watered down again! Sometimes you just want iced coffee. I’m usually drinking iced coffee all year long. And sometimes your coffee just…

Pineapple Mimosa

December 19, 2017
Pineapple Mimosa

One of the easiest brunch cocktails to serve your guests is a mimosa. It’s classic, everyone loves them, and there are limitless possibilities to mix in other juices. And it only needs juice and champagne. When we were in Hawaii, I had a pineapple mimosa at the best breakfast spot in Lahaina. It was a dash of fresh pineapple juice and a lot of champagne. That’s where we went wrong…

Pumpkin Muffins

October 18, 2017
Pumpkin Muffins

By now, you’re more than familiar with my pumpkin obsession. When I was searching for the perfect pumpkin bread pan a few years ago, I found the most fall-tastic pan from Williams-Sonoma. Attached to this pan, was a delicious pumpkin bread recipe. So, I dug up the tag and turned that pumpkin bread recipe into pumpkin muffins. All too often, I find a delicious bread recipe, wanting to make muffins.…

Cold Brew Coffee At Home

August 24, 2016
Cold Brew Coffee

This heat wave drove us to drink. Cold brew coffee that is. Our mornings typically start around 7:30 a.m. with a cup of coffee, oatmeal or cereal, and The Today Show. While we always see Jill’s Steals and Deals, we’ve never had an urge to buy any of her steals. It wasn’t until the Primula Cold Brew Coffee Maker Carafe and Primula Cold Brew Travel Bottle combination deal that I felt like I needed…

Using Leftover Buttermilk on a Million Recipes

May 18, 2016
Buttermilk

Well, maybe not a million… For Cinco de Mayo, I made these absolutely delicious margarita cupcakes with Silver Patrón tequila. These cupcakes required buttermilk. But buttermilk doesn’t come in small containers (at least at the grocery store I go to), so we had to get a large container. We couldn’t let the rest of it go to waste, so we spent a whole day making things with the leftover buttermilk; pancakes,…

A Crunchy Fried Chicken Brunch with Buttery Biscuits and Hash

A Crunchy Fried Chicken Brunch with Buttery Biscuits and Hash

We’ve been on a fried chicken spree lately. Which means we’ve been hitting the gym a little harder in an effort to make up for that. Last weekend we had a crunchy fried chicken brunch using Fatima’s delicious crunchy fried chicken recipe with chicken breast. We placed the chicken in between buttery, southern-style biscuits and paired them with vegetarian sweet potato hash. On my fried chicken biscuit, I topped it with an egg…

Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash with Fresh Avocado

March 29, 2016
Vegetarian Sweet Potato Hash

Our friend Ashley made a delicious sweet potato hash for our “First Day of Fall” party a few months ago. It was delicious. When thinking about what we were going to make for Brunch this past Easter weekend, we had a leftover sweet potato from our sweet potato mash and tilapia dinner the other night. Using Ashley’s dish as a guide, we put our twist on this and made vegetarian sweet potato hash. Hash can…

Apple Cider Donuts

October 7, 2015
Donuts

Fall has arrived! Time to eat everything with pumpkin and apple spice. Brian is working hard with MBA classes so we decided to make most of our fall blogging over the course of one weekend. To get rid of all the food we made, we enlisted some of our closest friends to come over and eat our Apple Cider Donuts. I can’t even begin to tell you the amount of food…

Pumpkin Coffee Cake Donuts

October 5, 2015
Pumpkin Donuts

What’s better than a warm, fresh donut with your coffee? That donut being pumpkin flavored. But what’s better than that? Pumpkin coffee cake donuts! Call us #basic, but we love pumpkin. I look forward to fall every year just for Dunkin Donuts’ pumpkin glazed donuts. When thinking about what to make this season, we stumbled upon Delightful E Made’s pumpkin coffee cake donuts. Don’t they look delicious!? Whip them up yourself,…

Nutella Strawberries

May 25, 2015
Nutella Strawberries

Nutella is food’s soul mate. Besides meat, I can’t think of another food item that Nutella wouldn’t be good with. Whether you’re looking for a picnic dessert, late night snack, or breakfast substitute, these Nutella strawberries will hit the spot. Unlike Brian, I grew up on Nutella. Fruit, pretzels, other snacks, but mostly on bread – what a treat! I don’t care for hazelnut coffee, but I love me some Nutella. Spread…

Fluffy Pancakes

May 11, 2015
Fluffy Pancakes

These are special occasion pancakes, they’re not your everyday fluffy pancakes. Why? Because they these are involved. When you wake up in the morning feeling like P-Diddy and a little hangry, you’ll want boxed, instant pancakes. But when you wake up on a lazy Sunday or hosting a brunch, you’ll want to make these fluffy pancakes. We found this recipe in a Food Network magazine and decided to have breakfast…
