Hopefully most of you have figured out your Thanksgiving menu by now. If not, here’s a dessert you can try. When it looks good enough to lick the screen, it’s got to be tasty. Hell, go all out and make 2, this dessert is equally delicious.
Thanksgiving is a week away – how – I don’t know. But it is. However, I am not celebrating (observing? what do you call it?) Thanksgiving this year because my happy ass will be in Thailand – having spicy noodles on turkey day! So hopefully you’ve all planned your feasts accordingly because I’m not giving you anything Thanksgiving related today.
Today, it’s all about me and my upcoming, and MUCH needed vacation. To Thailand. So here – enjoy some Spicy Thai Noodles with me why don’t you – they are gonna be super tasty! Especially when I’m eating them in my bikini, looking out over the Andaman Sea.
Jealous much?
This week’s recipe comes just in time for Thanksgiving preparations! But let’s take a step back before we get to it, shall we? Can someone please tell me how the hell it’s November already? I mean seriously, WTF?
OK, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
I say it every year, and I’ll say it again: I don’t like pumpkin pie. Call me crazy, but I think it’s something about the texture that creeps me out. I can tolerate it similar to pancakes – I’m good for one or two bites and that’s it. Any more than that and it starts to taste bad. What’s even more crazy, is that I do actually really enjoy the flavor of pumpkin. Pumpkin bread, or better yet – a pumpkin spice latte? Fuck. Yeah. But pumpkin pie? Nuh uh.
However, this pumpkin cake, slathered in all kinds of whipped goodness; yes, please.
Anytime I get to eat cake for breakfast, it’s a good day. And as I’ve said before, I am not a baker – by any stretch of the imagination. But this recipe is easy peasy. So much so that even I couldn’t eff it up. Happy breakfasting!
Every time I feature pancakes I feel the need to preface it with saying I really don’t like pancakes, but for this particular recipe I would be willing to make an exception. Every. Single. Time. So in the spirit of predictability, let’s go ahead and throw these into that category too. What I would really like is for someone to host a nice fall brunch and serve these as the main dish. See what I did there? Now I get to eat them and I don’t even have to make them myself. I would bring some nice wassail though. Promise.
So who’s house am I coming over to?
Yay for Fridays! Bread, bread and more bread! Has anyone ever added sour cream to their bread recipes (even something like banana bread)? It’s quite amazeballs what a little sour cream can do for it. It makes it just the perfect amount of moist!
And in breaking news, I hate that word but couldn’t think of anything else to describe the quality sour cream gives it. So live with it. Moist.
This dish could easily serve as an appetizer or a dessert. Or, if you’re like me, a meal in itself. With wine, of course. Whatever you choose to serve it, you’ll be saying “Shut you whore mouth, this is GOOD!”
I once at a whole loaf of bread by myself. In one day. True story, I wouldn’t make that up. But I feel sort of justified because it was an Asiago cheese loaf from Panera and I swear they make their bread with magic because it is that fucking good! Trust me, you would have eaten the whole loaf too.
Anyway, I may or may not have also put away an entire bag of Goldfish and/or Cheez-Its in a day as well. Maybe one, maybe both. Maybe even on the same day. I also might have had terminal heartburn from it but that’s beside the point. The actual point is that when I make these homemade cheese crackers, I might just pull a Panera and eat them all myself, right when they come out of the oven.
Clearly I’m a few days late with this. We had a county-wide power outage last Thursday which put me at least a day behind on just about everything. You’d think I’d be plenty planned ahead with my blog but alas, no, I’m not. Whatever. Suck it. You’ll thank me for this one, even if it’s tardy.
