Roasted Winter Citrus

January 29, 2012

I’m 87% sure there’s nothing you can do to ruin these perfect creations. Winter citrus is sparkling! If I could wear these citrus segments as earrings… I would. Let’s roast these beauties! I know. Weird. Weird… but totally incredible. Warm and salty sweet citrus bites.

Savory Cornmeal and Chive Waffles with salsa and eggs

January 15, 2012

There’s something about a giant stack of waffles topped with butter, powdered sugar, and maple syrup that puts me in an un-fightable, resistance resistant, afternoon coma. That really… and I mean reeeeaaalllyyy pisses off the workaholic in me. She hates napping. The waffle-aholic in me? Well… obviously she thinks her workaholic counterpart should just chill the [...]

Smashed Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Pancakes

January 10, 2012

Some things I know to be true things for me: True: Gin martinis are best, most immediately and with olives. True: sometimes painful sacrifices are made for fashion… especially when it comes to wedges. True: In my life, Hemingway and Julia Child are devoured in equal amounts. True: I will always eat a doughnut. It [...]

A Balanced Breakfast

January 5, 2012

Yes… it’s that time. Vacation is oooooovvvveeeerrrr. Our inboxes are filling up. Official mail (you know, like bills) are overshadowing the friend greetings and holiday cards in our mail boxes, and the gym sure is calling… isn’t it? Yea. That carefree week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is long gone. Major bummer. Before we [...]

Fresh Cranberry Cream Scones with candied ginger

December 1, 2011

So what… I’m a girl obsessed. This week I’ve treated myself to cranberry colored lipstick. I am way into my new cranberry sweater. I have my eye on some cranberry colored pumps (yea… pumps). Cranberry nail polish, duh. I have a bag of fresh cranberries in my fridge and I’m slowly teaching myself to gnaw [...]

Brown Sugar Bacon Biscuits

November 4, 2011

My hair is in rollers. Like… kickin’ it old school in Velcro rollers. No one needs to know that besides the 137 of you who read this blog, my cat, and any random person who comes to this blog after Google searching “the most awesome biscuits ever made, for real”. Ah.. the rollers. It’s amazing [...]

Pumpkin, Millet, and Chocolate Muffins

October 30, 2011

Apparently we’re quickly approaching November. Wait… what!? In the blink of an eye we’ll be eating turkey for Thanksgiving, wrapping holiday gifts, and kissing at midnight… that’s how fast this year is going! What are we going to do about this? Is there some sort of pause button. The only thing I can think do [...]

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

October 12, 2011

Now is not the time to be thinking about New Year’s Resolutions. Ignore the plastic Christmas trees at Costco… we still have time. We have months. The year is not over yet. We can totally take it easy. I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions. They’re totally unrealistic, right? I feel like my best intentions of [...]

Chocolate Coconut Almond Scones

October 10, 2011

14 of the 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 thoughts going through my brainscape: – I’m 30. I can’t shop at Forever 21. First of all, I’m a Large…. and the shorts are still waay too tiny. Secondly, I look much better in Anthropologie clothes. – I’m worth it. – Yea. So I just stress-ate a bag of potato chips. [...]

Almost Vegan Zucchini Bread

October 2, 2011

If I could have made a U-turn on the freeway, I would have… that’s how much I didn’t want to go to this party. The sheer fact that I was forced to drive in a straight line at high speeds is why I made it to this party. Now… nothing was wrong with the party. [...]

Eggy Breakfast Pizza

September 26, 2011

I’m not sure I’ve eaten anything this weekend. Well… I’m not sure I’ve eaten anything beyond chips, gummy bears, coffee, and gin. I definitely didn’t eat this gorgeous breakfast pizza. Really, it’s no one’s fault but my own. There was arugula on this breakfast pizza. Ps. That totes makes this vegetables for breakfast. Get into [...]

Banana Walnut Waffles

September 20, 2011

I don’t have one single recipe memorized. Actually wait…. I have the recipe for a Bourbon and Ginger Ale memorized. That’s two ingredients. That doesn’t really count. I don’t have one single baking recipe set to memory. Not my Dad’s Buttermilk Biscuit recipe. Not my favorite pancake recipe. Not the best Creme Fraiche Quiche ever. [...]

Old Fashioned Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

September 12, 2011

I need to make some decisions. I know… welcome to everyday living. Who do you turn to when it’s time to make big decisions? Mama and Dad? Bestest girlfriends? Awesome boyfriends? Husband? Wifey? God? Bottle of beer? Giant stack of doughnuts? When it comes to making decisions, I make lists… and stare at them. I [...]

Vegan Carrot Cherry Breakfast Cookies

August 31, 2011

New Joy the Baker Podcast is ready for your ears! Get your listen on!! When I was a small little baby girl, I was super stoked to grow up and: Wear sunglasses like Jackie O. Stop doing homework. Shave my legs (um…. wwwhhhhyyyy!?). Stay up past 9:30. Watch all the Beverly Hills 90210 ever ever [...]

Lemon Raspberry Breakfast Rolls

August 25, 2011

The dream house that I hold in my head is sunny and smells like banana bread. It has a real-life adult couch and big, fluffy, matching, totally not hand-me-down bathroom towels. The bookshelves aren’t dusty and my desk is huge and spotless. There’s also a lovely woman that comes over everyday to help me clean [...]

Lavender and Toasted Walnut Scones

August 5, 2011

How diplomatic is your shower? Do you have minty unisex soaps? Do you have pleasant, not completely feminine smelling shampoo? Do you hide the pumice stone in the bathroom cabinet? What’s going on with the face wash situation? Does it smell like… you know, soap? I might have an issue. I’m rocking gardenia body [...]

Fresh Corn and Goat Cheese Grits

August 2, 2011

Five Things I Learned About Myself Last Week by Joy Wilson My Los Angeles style of driving will piss many people off outside of Los Angeles. When traveling, I will take an unreasonable, and possibly troubling amount of travel-sized toiletries with me no matter the duration of the trip. I so so soooo want to [...]

Vegan Mango Banana Bread

July 13, 2011

Was it you who spent last Friday night with a bottle of white wine and a truly GIANT bowl of salty, sweet popcorn. Did you find yourself 4 hours into a Say Yes to the Dress marathon? Wait… did you cry a little bit? Was it you who glanced at the random pair of scissors [...]

Sweet Corn Hash and other Dad-friendly Foods

June 17, 2011

Here’s the plan: breakfast! Here’s the second plan: dice up potatoes, toss it with stuff, and call it hash. Here’s the other part of the first and second plan: serve it to someone you love. Maybe that’s your dad. Maybe that’s your handsome husband. Maybe it’s that dude who takes your trash bins in just [...]

Brown Butter Banana Strawberry Bread

June 2, 2011

Can I tell you something about me? This has exactly nothing to do with bananas or butter or bread. Feel free to roll your eyes and skip ahead, if necessary. I used to be a worrier. Like… a professional worrier. I would worry like it was my job to worry, like I was getting paid [...]
