a tiny gingerbread house that perches on the edge of your mug A quick update! This winter I’ve collaborated with Brit+Co on a DIY kit for my tiny gingerbread houses that includes 3d printed cookie cutters! It’s available now, go have a look. I made tiny gingerbread houses that are meant to be perched on the edge of a mug of hot chocolate. I had been thinking about those sugar cubes that hook on the rim of a teacup earlier this month, and I was also thinking about 3-D cookies and how they fit together and figured it would be pretty neat to make cookies that hang on the edge of a mug. I made a few versions to figure out how to make one that wasn’t so top heavy that it would flip off the mug, and how small I could get away with and still fit on both large and small cups. I’ve made a PDF pattern of gingerbread house pieces which you can open or download right here. I used the Gingerbread Snowflake and the Royal Icing recipes from marthastewart.com. I rolled it out onto a sheet of tin foil at 1/8th inch thick.
no-bake energy bites I probably should have poured a nice stiff drink recipe for you all on this loveliest of lovely tax days. Especially for my fellow small business owners who just gave half of their revenue back to the government. Good grief, I won’t even go there. Instead though, I thought I’d offer my idea of a more comforting alternative. Pasta. When life is good, and when life gets crazy, I turn to pasta. And just as it has for years, this one hit the spot.

Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Trifle I have one very distinct memory of the end of summer. We were at a neighbors house – specifically in their pool – which was awesome because we didn’t have a pool and I’d jump at any chance to swim. Lots of people were there, lots of kids, my brothers, neighborhood friends, tons of food and a particular plate of chocolate chip cookies that I was doing a number on. But then it started to get dark. And sort of late. So I got out of the pool. As a side note, I should mention that this was probably the night before a really important morning – which included shaving my legs for the first time after my mom made it clear that I wasn’t allowed. Don’t worry. So do you want to hear about this mess in a dish? My mom used to make the best trifle when I was younger. I thought about it. Actually, all I could think of was chocolate and peanut butter. Here’s the deal. Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie Trifle 1 batch of your favorite brownies, boxed or from scratch, cooled and cut into cubes 2 cups heavy cream
Blueberry Breakfast Cake Breakfast cake, coffee cake, whatever you want to call it, it’s overflowing with blueberries and absolutely delicious. The crumb topping really is enough for this, but I always have to have a pretty white drizzle on top. :) However, you can certainly leave it off if you like. I would imagine this would be good with other fruits too, such as raspberries, sour cherries, blackberries, or cranberries in the fall. No matter what fruit you decide on, definitely add this to your “to do” list! Blueberry Breakfast CakeRecipe from Annie’s Recipes printable version 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries TOPPING: 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (I used ground hazelnuts I had in the freezer) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3 tablespoons cold butter or margarine
