Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Got two variations of this cookie recipe for today, the first is the straight recipe making a really delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. The second is the addition of brewers yeast and flax meal said to boost milk production for nursing mothers (as recommended by our lactation consultant). She had suggested a bowl of oatmeal…

The Sweet Whisk

Not going to go into a huge story with this one. Amanda and Kenny’s work 100% speaks for itself. I highly recommend checking out The Sweet Whisk, you will not be disappointed. Also where we got our wedding cake! Great people, incredible product and passion, and a chance to support a local small business! Tahitian…

Mister Sizzles

When it comes to what restaurants I support and regularly frequent it is mainly narrowed down to one main focus. It’s not how good the food is, what the atmosphere is like, or what specials they run. It’s how they treat their staff. I don’t care if you have the best steak in the world…

Café Godot

After I woke up and enjoyed a breakfast consisting of cold queso Blanco, stale chips, and a bag of cheetos my body kindly reminded me that I am no longer 17 and when it asks for fuel it didn’t mean actual gasoline in the form of processed cheese. That’s why lunch at @godotbflo was the perfect choice…

Sweet & Salty Butter Rum Popcorn

Ran out of snacks in the house so instead of doing the right thing and not eat any snacks I just made some. This recipe ended up turning out a little weird but in a good way. The caramel didn’t fully harden which gave the mix a bit softer and marshmallowy taste. Kind of like…

Loganberry Buffalo Wings

Revisiting a recipe from over 10 years ago. I really enjoyed this sauce the first time I made it so I’m surprised it took me this long to come back to it. Here’s a photo of the original from 12 years ago. Seems like I haven’t gotten away from that black background. For those of…

Photo Editing

I have come across comments recently of someone asking for head shots and replies saying, “You have an iphone just use that on portrait mode.” Which you absolutely can do if you want to. Phone cameras have improved so much from the Moto Razr days. Gotta love those old phone photos though. But I digress….

Spicy Pizza Sauce and Dough

Not much to explain here with this one. Who doesn’t like pizza? And if you don’t like pizza I doubt you clicked on this link to begin with. This is a bit of a thinner crust with a little rise to it. For the beer I would suggest using a lager or medium bodied beer,…
