Mmmmmm Muffins

We still have 2 muffins left!

They are the pumpkin ones and I am totally dipping one in my coffee this morning!

Muffin

Costco makes fantastic muffins.

35 frozen muffins are in our freezer.

If I quarter them and feed them to our babies in the morning with scrambled eggs, they will last 35 days.



. . . They are actually quite tasty frozen, and easy to cut into quarters.

. . . . . . If I eat one, I'll break my diet.





















I really want a muffin

My Favorite Coffee

My favorite Coffee happens to be keto-friendly.

This recipe calls for:

• Yummy black espresso
• Stevia (I use 3 micro scoops of Better Stevia)
• 2 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
• Small amount of hot water

Destructions:

1. Put some hot water in your favorite non-burn-you mug

2. Put some stevia in your water. I use three of the tiny scoops included in Better Stevia.

3. Swish it around so the stevia disappears in the water.

4. Make your espresso, the way that you like best.

5. Put the espresso in your favorite non-burn-you mug with the stevia-hot water solution.

6. Add two delicious tablespoons of heavy whipping cream.

7. Smell it first. This is not really optional, because you'll regret it if you don't. Seriously. MmmmMMMmmmmm

8. Enjoy. No quotes today, just really, actually enjoy it. 

COOFFEE! coooooooofffffffffeeeeeeee. coffee-coffee.  

Keto Diet Day 2

    I'm not in Ketosis yet; it's only the second day and I will tell you, it's so hard not to eat ALL the Sweets!

Thankful Keto

I'm going to start the keto diet again this month and I was totally excited for it, until I realized that I'm going to be missing out on pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.
*Sigh*

Post-Halloween

I love how the house fills up with chocolate after Halloween.

Cheese Egg

Cheese Egg

This amazing recipe calls for:

4 Cheeses such as

• Slice of Cheddar
• Slice of Provolone
• 3 oz Mozerella crumbles
• And, a mini Babybel, cause, why not?
• Butter, a little bit

Other Stuff we're using:

• Non-stick pan. (If you have more than one, use a small one.)
• Spatula that won't scratch up your non-stick pan
• plate
• fork
• steak knife

Destructions:

1. Butter your pan! YUM

2. Put your cheeses down. Use a slice first. Trust me. Cheddar on the bottom tends to work best for us. Pile the other cheeses on as the last layer starts to melt into delicious cheese lava.

3. Break your egg and put the wet inside parts on the top of your cheese lava. Note: Throw the shell away! Don't cook it! Also, if bits of it do happen to get in, pick them up with the spatula, NOT your fingers. 

4. Let it cook at least until all the white stops being see-through

5. (optional) Let it cook until the yellow part is solid.

6. If you feel fancy, slide the egg off the side of the pan onto your plate. If your not being fancy, scoop it up with your spatula and just, you know, put it on the plate.

7. Eat with fork and steak knife.

Muffins

Internet was down all day yesterday. Weird huh.

Know what makes it better?

Costco Muffins!

They don't understand

    Have you ever gone over to your mom's house and had her look at your phone and scroll through your pictures?
     Did your mom ask, "why do you have so many pictures of food on here?" And you were all sad and confounded that your mother hasn't seen your blog?
    Did you kinda, maybe, say "BECAUSE I HAVE A FOOD BLOG MOM!" maybe, a bit louder than you meant to?

    Does that ever happen to you? Probably not. Oh well.

A Thing of Beauty

French Toast Bagels

I've covered them in bud-der (butter), and it's DELICIOUS, but, we have cream cheese.

I'm so afraid that covering them in cream cheese will ruin how AMAZING they are.

So torn

DIET CRAZH SUGAR BINGE!

Wow! I didn't even go on a diet, but I get to enjoy my husband's diet crash!

French Toast Bagels!
Pumpkin Spice Eggos,
Jelly Bellies,
Oreos galore and chocolate!

Boy, the girls and I are in for a treat or three a day for at least a month!

Diet Crash

My husband was on a diet.

    I wasn't even on a strict diet, but now I find myself in the delicious aftermath of a diet crash! French Toast Bagles, Pumpkin Spice bread, Pumpkin Spice Eggos and Oreo Cake fill my house, and my tummy.

Yum.
I do miss veggies.

Shopping Day!

Soon, we will overfill our fridge and pantry. Sooooooon. Pictures will ensue.

Too Late for Tacos?

Taco Day is today!? Nooooooo! We nearly had it right!

Mmmmm Tacos

I love tacos. We had tacos last night. Mmmmmm

I've Realized

I live for food.

Strange realization, beings as I grew up on Food Bank Food. For those of you who don't know, that's like, week old donuts that are past their sell by date, cereal from another country, or cans of meat with white labels.

Now, I like to look on the bright side, but there were a few times in childhood where I sucked on bits of notebook paper to get hunger pains to go away, so to realize that most of my fondest memories are food based.
Honestly, I was shocked, but yes, Fooooooooood.

Fry Bread
Maple Bars (or for you not in Montana, "Long Johns")
Bacon
Burgers
Pizza
Fenugreek
Cream Cheese
Bacon
COFFEE
Baguettes
Bacon
PUMPKIN PIE!
Hot Coco
Heavy Whipping Cream
Bacon
Chai Milkshakes
Mozerella
Mochas
Bacon Burgers
and Bacon, Man.

Those are a few of my favorite things

Donuts

My love keeps buying me DONUTS! Ahhh! God I love them!

Cocoa Nibs

For those of you who don't know, cocoa nibs are

Amazing!!

If you ever need a REAL chocolate fix, man, cocoa nibs are unadulterated, relentless chocolate. 

Not sweetened, not milky, not unchocolaty in any way. 

    Cocoa nibs will slap your face with chocolateness. 

    Cocoa nibs are the lumberjack of the chocolate world. The honey badger. 

Cocoa nibs. 

Earwig Coffee!

Earwig Coffee

You Will Need:

Coffee

Horror

Steps:

1. Put Coffee down somewhere and forget it for a while

2. Come home from work for lunch and pick up coffee

3. Realize there is "something" in your coffee

4. "enjoy"

(Due to common courtesy, no picture is pictured. Well, that and because I dumped it out promptly and shrieked on the inside).

Picture Problems

I took some pictures, and they aren't here yet. I apologize for any lack of amusement you may be suffering from and I assure you that Molasses Coffee art will be up as soon as possible.

Yesterday's Coffee

Yesterday's Coffee

Ingredients:

any coffee you put in the fridge last night

Steps:

1. remove from fridge

2. "enjoy"

Molasses Coffee

    Ok, I tried being good.
   I did. I didn't have coffee for 9 days.

   But I do now. OOOPS!


   I've found that MOLASSES IS DELICIOUS!!
God I love molasses! Maybe I'm anemic and need the iron, but MOLASSES! YEEES! I desire to roll around in it like a dog rolls around in gross things or like a cat will roll in catnip!
   I also love coffee. LOVE coffee.

  Molasses plus coffee. God yes!

Molassaly Delicious COFFEE

1 - 2 shots espresso (to taste)
1-2 Tbsp molasses
1-2 Tbsp cream
some hot water
perhaps milk (opt)
perhaps steamed milk (opt)


1. Put some hot water in a non-burn-you mug. Swish it around, because, I don't know why, it just feels natural
2. Drip drop your molasses in the mug,
(optional) Lick that spoon!
3. If you're planning on using cold milk, put it in your mug now so when you add your expresso, you won't break your crema. If you're steaming milk, skip this step and continue to step 6
4. Put a shot of espresso in your non-burn-you mug.
5. Look in the mug carefully and assess both your levels of sleepy, your blood pressure and your desire to see that puppy full of coffee.
6. Put your milk to be steamed in a steam-friendly container.
7. Steam your milk.
8. Make a happy face coffee art with your steamed milk!
9. Sip your coffee carefully! It's hot and can burn your precious tasty-tongue AND the longer you take to drink the coffee, the longer you CAN drink your coffee!

Not Coffee

    I tried to make some coffee replacement today.

    . . . It turned out ok, I guess. But, it's still not coffee.


Stuff:

Not Coffee:

2 tbsp cocoa powder
3 tiny included spoons Better Stevia
1 oz hazelnut syrup (My last shot of Torino)
1/4 c milk
1/2 tsp heavy whipping cream
cold water to taste.

1. Be disappointed about whatever reason it is that you're not making coffee.
2. Make water hot
3. Put the powders in something you can drink out of that won't burn you, like a mug.
4. Pour in your hot water and mix.
5. Add your dairy products and syrup. (If you add the dairy before the hot milk, bad things can happen)
6. Add a bit of cold water so you don't melt your face off.
7. Try a sip. If it's too hot, repeat steps 6 and 7 until you get a good temperature.

Parmesan Chicken Wings!

    The other day, I was supposed to meet up with my family. We were going to have a potluck up at the lake 'n' stuff, but, you know, meeting up with them never works well so WHATEVS! WHAT-EVS.


    My hubby made Headbanger's Chicken Parmesean Wings, well, drumsticks, and they were de-lic-ious!

    We took them over to my husband's family! We hung out with them because they were home and they like to see us!

    Well, those drumsticks went so fast I couldn't take a picture.

Post Shopping!

OMG FOOD EVERYWHERE!!

   I'm so happy.
   Ended up eating leftovers to clean out the fridge to make room for our new foods, so nothing to report today.

 Look at those cute, colored egg cartons! So cute!

                                Baby bells and mozzarella bits in a pretty vase make great snacks!
                                                Cheese and Ghee and Cream oh my!

Dough-Nu-Matic

   

    My husband found an automatic donut maker at Goodwill and of course bought it for me because I'm a sucker for pastries.

    It doesn't work well, but it's inspired us to save up and open a coffee and donut food truck!


    I'm still going to try to use really, really fluid batter in it to see if we can get it working at all

The Day Before Shopping Day

    You know the day before you get paid, when your pantry is nearly bare? There is a bottle of some weird condiment there and some cans of, I dunno, something, and you stare at it, all tummy grumbly and hangry?

   Well, that's me today, but whereas I'd lament eating the last can of tuna and feed my girls some sort of Leftovers Frankenstein monster, my husband managed to create a creamy, decadent Tomato Soup with like, I dunno, pantry dregs.

I know there is
Canned tomatoes
sugar
butter
nutritional yeast and
cream cheese

in it.

    Just amazing what he can do with nearly nothing!


Maybe I can piece together a recipe
