i made a german chocolate cake for an office birthday but couldn't stand to cover it in that gooey gloppy sticky coconut mess. so instead i iced it in ganache, covered the sides in toasted coconut, and topped it with "german chocolate strawberries."

it was a fun, quick cake and i got some pretty pictures out of it.

this is how i show my love

world's best mac & cheese? i think i'll let someone else be the judge of that...

brunch ideas

"donut muffins," otherwise known as snickerdoodle cupcakes in this house
jello oranges
salmon, dill, cream cheese quiche (too bad i can't link to that ripped out recipe living in my purse)
lemon tarts (lemon curd with no cornstarch!)
lox and bagels (all kenton asked for)
mimosas (of course)

most of it seems pretty easy to prepare ahead of time, i just have to decide what to make now. and stop getting distracted by new options of course...
