How to Make Letter Donuts.

May 31, 2022May 31, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 1 Comment

Way back in April, I started planning out my May bakes. I’ve talked about my monthly planning process before, but if you missed it - I usually plan the entire month of bakes all at once. Usually one or two things a week - something dessert-y and something breakfast-y/afterschool snack-y. It keeps me on track … Continue reading How to Make Letter Donuts.

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.

February 14, 2022February 14, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 5 Comments

We have gone through many, many chocolate chip cookies. I just feel like a home with three little boys and two adults should have homemade cookies on the counter at (nearly) all times. And let's agree that of the multitude of cookie options in the world - chocolate chip cookies are the best. Sure, I … Continue reading My Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe.

Heart Hand Pies.

January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 1 Comment

Don’t know if you’re keeping track, but there are exactly 21 days in which to fit as many heart themed treats as humanly possible. I just counted. So far at our house, we’ve made heart shaped chocolate chip cookies, sprinkled heart shaped sprinkles on everything we’ve eaten, made heart shaped banana muffins in a heart … Continue reading Heart Hand Pies.

Polenta Party for a Crowd.

January 19, 2022January 19, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ Leave a comment

I woke Monday morning with just the twinge of a wine headache. My normal weekend limit of two glasses had been stretched to three as a result of flickering candlelight, a table full of friends, and my kids blessedly entertained by people other than me. Twelve of us gathered around two long tables pushed together, … Continue reading Polenta Party for a Crowd.

(Spiked) Grapefruit Soda.

January 15, 2022January 15, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 1 Comment

I don't know what it is about January, but after the holidays have come and gone, citrus fruits begin to consume my thoughts. Maybe it's the freshness after the sticky sweetness of the treats from Christmas? Maybe it feels fresh and healthy for the new or year? Maybe it's because citrus is in season in … Continue reading (Spiked) Grapefruit Soda.

Pizza Friday. (And Our Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe)

January 13, 2022January 22, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ 2 Comments

Pizza night begins on Thursday night for me. After the boys are in bed, the house is cleaned up, the dishes are being whirred clean in the dishwasher, the laundry is tumbling, but generally just before I step into the shower, a little reminder goes off on my phone. *MAKE PIZZA DOUGH*. Yelling at me … Continue reading Pizza Friday. (And Our Favorite Pizza Dough Recipe)

The Best Green Beans I’ve Ever Made.

January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 ~ emetroka ~ Leave a comment

I know, I know. Green beans. Decidedly un-sexy. When I think of green beans, the canned version generally comes to mind. A dull, lifeless grayish green with mystery liquid somehow deeming itself "fresh" for decades to come. Now, let it be known that I'm not above canned green beans. My kids love them. We throw … Continue reading The Best Green Beans I’ve Ever Made.
