I had a very very merry Christmas (and I hope you did too!) Matt and I helped cook Christmas brunch – pancakes and a huge frittata – and then relaxed and opened presents. I asked for mostly consumables and got some awesome gift-cards! Can’t wait to spend them in the new year. We also headed to Duke gardens for a family walk and then to see the movie My Week with Marilyn. It was such an enjoyable afternoon and the…

Pancakes
Last winter, I had one sip of Southern Tier’s Choklat stout and nearly died. Aside from Pumking (also a Southern Tier beer), this is one of the greatest substances on the planet. Both beers taste just like cake!!! What you see below is actually the Choklat stout mixed with Southern Tier’s Jahva imperial coffee stout. Surprisingly, this is a spring release and my sister gifted it to Matt over the summer. We’ve been waiting for the temperature to drop to…
Yesterday was about celebration and relaxation. We slept in till 9 and then I made the birthday boy pancakes. It’s only been about three weeks since we’ve had pancakes and the first bite made me realize that I’ve missed our Thursday pancake ritual so.much. We did some more unpacking and furniture assembly and fit in a quick couples workout in my apartment’s gym:) Then we headed to the lake! We’re already obsessed with the sandwiches and salads at The…
Happy happy Friday friends. How often do you wake up to your house guests making pancakes!? Kanz was a-cookin Kodiak cakes bright and early this morning. He added lots of fun toppings to the batter: choc chips, bananas, flax seeds, and shredded coconut : I topped mine with more bananas + regular Trader Joe’s and Nutty’s cinnamon raisin peanut butters. Delicioso. I worked hard on report writing all day and essentially finished the report that’s due after Christmas!!! Now only…
We’re almost out of pumpkin:( So I had one pumpkin pancake and one regular, and the regular tasted blahhhh in comparison. I never want pumpkin season to end! But it will have to soon, because the Holiday season has officially begun! I know this because my street was decked in the Christmas lights that mysteriously appear every year: My weekly dose of food inspired by our friends south of the border: One day I’ll eat dinner with Matt again and…
It took a lot of coaxing last night, but Matt finally got me off the couch and into the night. We went to Chipotle to use our buy one, get one free coupon before it expired. I got the pork burrito bowl, which is what I usually get at Qdoba. We never eat at Chipotle because there’s only one in the city, but this bowl was huge and fantastic. The meat had been marinated giving it soo much flavor. My…
Hi guys, How was your weekend? I was able to fit a lot of fun stuff into my mini getaway to the Berkshires. Since our trip was only a one-nighter, we decided to start the vacation before we even left Boston with more pumpkin pancakes on Saturday morning. After picking up our rental car in Cambridge, we made a pit-stop in Newton to check out the Great Harvest!!! They had samples of an amazing pumpkin bread with gooey cinnamon. After two hours…
Today was dark and cold and rainy and windy, but I didn’t really mind because I had pumpkin pancakes for breakfast and I got to go to a fun lunch lecture on creating safe spaces for LGBTQ youth! The speaker was very powerful and her talk focused on ways for straight practitioners to provide nonjudgemental support to LGBTQ youth. I know I definitely need to do a better job of using neutral language because it’s so easy to assume students…
My, oh my, did Kath stumble upon something glorious with this Kodiak cake + pumpkin combo. We stirred pumpkin pie puree (with the appropriate spices already added by Whole Foods) into the batter and these pancakes were fabulous, not only in taste, but in texture too!!!!!! Topped with my birthday present, this was a breakfast of champions:) Yum and yum. Can’t wait to try these next week with the butterscotch pb! I had quite the productive day at work and then…
