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 [...]

Brown Butter Winter Citrus Pancakes

December 30, 2010

My goodness. This world has these seasons planned out just perfectly. Amidst super rain, chilly wind and grey skies, we get blood oranges, tangerines and grapefruit! Big, bright, cheek puckering citrus is perfect for winter breakfast. I know… it happened this morning. I’d also like to thank the good world for creating coffee and hot [...]

Fried Apple Cakes

September 12, 2010

I’m ready to put two more blankets on my bed. I’m ready to invest in some fuzzy slippers. I’m ready to sport tight turtlenecks from now until March. I’m ready for turkey chili, broccoli soup and warm apples. Autumn. It’s almost here. Heck yea.

Brunch Date

August 27, 2010

You know that feeling…. When you’re on a brunch date, you arrive at a restaurant, and the hostess tells you that the wait is going to be 20 minutes… And you think aloud to your date…’ok, great… let’s take a quick stroll around the block’… and you two take a quick stroll around the block. [...]

The Single Lady Pancake

July 7, 2010

I sleep in the middle of the bed. I think I might hog the pillows. I read a book in bed with a headlamp on my head. It’s dorky. Sometimes I fall asleep with the light on… mostly because I’m scared of murderers and not because I just happen to fall asleep with the light [...]

Cornmeal Molasses Pancakes

March 29, 2010

I’m a stone cold maniac when it comes to making to-do lists. The only problem with my lists is that they’re usually filled with tasks that I’d much rather avoid. This week I’m going to put together a different type of list for myself. Instead of a To-Do List, I’m going to try out a [...]

Berry Meyer Lemon Pancakes

February 8, 2010

Can I let you in on a little something? I don’t live in the cool Los Angeles neighborhood that all my friends live in… I have more matching spatulas than I do matching bath towels. I still can’t seem to commit to buying myself a couch. My bedroom bookcase seems to be made up of [...]

Eggnog (without Eggnog) Pancakes

December 16, 2009

Eggnog Pancakes with a slight hitch. Eggnog Pancakes without the Eggnog. You should know that I’m going to capitalize Eggnog in this here post. If that bothers you…. apologies. My Grandfather is the first person to pull a carton of grocery store branded Eggnog out of the refrigerator every year about this time. When I [...]

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes and other such pumpkin treats

October 5, 2009

Pumpkin. It’s October and it is time. Pumpkin. Hold on to your hats. I’ll be all up in your grill with peppermint and chocolate for Christmas before you know it. For now…. Pumpkin. Don’t fight it.

Zucchini Pancakes

September 15, 2009

Is it just me, or are there butterflies everywhere? Maybe it’s butterfly hatching season…. that’s a technical term: butterfly hatching. Obviously. Exhibit A: On a particularly rough day at work, a butterfly just about the size of my hand fluttered around me showing off its black, yellow and red wings. Absolutely gorgeous. Exhibit B: Just [...]

Vegan Jam Swirled Pancakes

July 30, 2009

Some things just shouldn’t be a luxury. Some things are an absolute necessity. Spending too much money at Target, for example. Sometimes… (you know it’s true) that’s a total necessity. Hot bath plus cold beer. You need it. I need it. Necessity. A super comfortable dress that shows a little shoulder. Everyone loves a little [...]

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

April 17, 2009

Dear Future Husband and Future Children, While it’s clear that the universe hasn’t yet pressed us together into a family mold, I think it prudent to get a few things about our life out in the open. You know, for the sake of transparency. Future Husband! In all likelihood, I think you’re the coolest guy [...]

Chai Spiced Buttermilk Pancakes

March 16, 2009

Everyday requires a little adventure, wouldn’t you agree? Some days (say… yesterday for me) that adventure can be as simple as taking a new route home from work (and getting lost driving through the canyons). Other days, that adventure might mean moving to France for three months (not my adventure, but bon voyage dear Carsen!). [...]

Milk Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes

December 12, 2008

These are the four pictures that are going to make you seriously consider why you aren’t in your kitchen right this second making these pancakes. These are the four pictures that might just have you prioritizing the next few hours, the next few days, heck(!) your entire weekend around these pancakes. Yea… that just happened. [...]

Sourdough Pancakes

September 24, 2008

Praise the heavens! These pancakes were two weeks in the making. And it all started with.. well.. forgive me.. a starter. It turns out that a sourdough starter, a mixture of flour, water, bacteria and yeast, makes some pretty stellar pancakes. The cakes came out slightly thin, nicely browned and light as air. The starter [...]

Gingerbread Pancakes with Homemade Pancake Syrup

May 13, 2008

Am I starting to bore you? Here I am with another pancake post. I would almost feel bad about posting so many delicious pancake treats, but I can’t help myself. I’m serious. I’ll look you straight in the eye and tell you that I really just can’t help myself. I must make pancakes about once a [...]

Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Pancakes with Vanilla-Brown Sugar Syrup

April 26, 2008

I love waking up about half an hour early on Wednesdays to make pancakes for breakfast. They really take very little time to throw together, and they make a world of difference to my day. I can’t save my pancakes only for special weekend breakfasts. Sometimes (every Wednesday) I need that weekend indulgence before I [...]
