I do this thing when I’m filled to the brim with tasks and opportunities and responsibilities and stresses…. I add more. ย I really just pile it on. ย I somehow think that adding new responsibilities and stresses will erase the ones I’ve already loaded on my shoulders.
It’s illogical. ย It’s a terrible idea. ย It’s downright crazytown.
I’m in Crazytown and I’m about to move into Lost My Marblesville. ย Someone please send a straight jacket.
In related news, I’ve decided to move into a loft in downtown Los Angeles. ย I’m driving to Seattle in a Uhaul next week with my little sister… pray for us. ย Aaaand I’m teaching my first cooking class in Sonoma this weekend!
More on all of these things soon. ย For now… here’s what I’m stress eating.. no joke.
Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas rolled in crushed honey roasted peanuts. ย If you really commit to your stress… I mean, really just get in there and wallow in it… I’m sure you can down a cool seven bananas in no time. ย Just. ย Like. ย Me.
Half spongy souffle cake, half warm pudding, all lemony goodness. ย Lemon Souffle Cake. ย Maybe I ate this whole souffle right out of the pie pan. ย Maybe. ย Maybe not. ย But… yea, definitely. ย That totally happened.
I have bathed in this Buttermilk Ranch Dressing.
I like to eat brownies right out of the freezer. ย Dense, cold chocolate cake with melty frozen marshmallows? ย Yea… I never said I was normal. ย S’mores Brownies. ย Friends for life.
Giant Vanilla Sugar Cookies. ย There’s nothing like a cup of tea and a cookie the size of your face to wash your troubles away. ย Dreamy.
Note: ย Am I encouraging emotional overeating with this post? ย No. ย Yes… No. ย Well… maybe a little. ย I’m half kidding, half overcommitted and definitely stuffing cookies in my face at every opportunity. ย That’s just the honest truth. ย I hope you can handle it.

Yipes, I hope you’ve found your marbles by now. In the meantime, I’m certain you have some yummies to nosh.
PS: The downtown LA public library *rocks my socks.* Lucky you!
I absolutely love these recipes and look heavenly! Great complement to me..
I just made these for dinner, they are amazing!
Do I have to be stressed to eat all of those things? Because I’m feeling pretty calm right now, but I too want to eat that entire lemon souffle cake… and the brownies, and bananas… etc.
Hope you enjoyed our quasi sunny Seattle weather this past week. :)
LOL! I am the SAME way and just freak out and totally over-commit when I am already over-done! I think I do it so I can “pick and choose” what I want to do, but of course, I end up getting all the “must-dos” and never have time for the fun stuff! Most summers you will see me making jam at midnight! sigh … it’s just wrong but I can’t help myself!
