Manageability – Pain in the ass. Martha Stewart has destroyed part of my soul yet again. This time with her crumpets recipe, which had me asking questions like “what the hell is a flan ring?” and “why does Martha Stewart enjoy torturing me?” Needless to say, I don’t have flan rings. Martha suggests hollowing outContinue reading “Martha Stewart’s Crumpets”

Manageability – Easy, if you can make bread. Of course, Mardi Gras is about good times and partying. Throw some beads from a gallery, listen to some hot jazz, and drink a little bit*. But in all your revelry, don’t skip the cake, you dummy! And this year you should take the time to makeContinue reading “Barbara Bakes’ Mardi Gras King Cake”

Manageability – Just plain easy and cute. I love that this one calls itself “Love Potion #9” (by Cookie Rookie) because she makes it with dry ice. The illusion is that it’s some kind of witches brew, smoky with bubbling eye of newt and designed to cast a spell on the drinker, making them fallContinue reading “Cookie Rookie’s Love Potion #9 Martini”

Manageability – Thumbs up! Tell me one thing you like more than red velvet cake. You can’t, you liar. Don’t even try. Nothing is better than red velvet cake, and you know it. Plus, with Valentine’s Day coming up, you know I had to make these Red Velvet Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting fromContinue reading “Life, Love, and Sugar’s Red Velvet Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting”

Manageability – Kindof a lot for some tea. England is weird, right guys? They drive on the left side of the road, notoriously hate dentists, and instead of coffee or water they drink tea. Well, the tea thing isn’t actually that bad. I like tea. In fact, this Rose & Earl Grey Tea from KatieContinue reading “Katie S. Lyon’s Rose & Earl Grey Tea Latte”

Manageability – Fussed. Valentine’s Day is coming up, you fools. And before trying to figure out what COVID Valentine’s Day dinner will look like, or go killing a bunch of gangsters in a Chicago garage with your tommy gun, you should make Half Baked Harvest’s No Fuss Lemon Tart. Although, I should warn you, IContinue reading “Half Baked Harvest’s No Fuss Lemon Tart”

Manageability – Simple , so long as you’re not crazy. I like coffee. I’m not a weirdo. I like lattes and flavored blends, and a nice strong cup on a Sunday morning. What I don’t like, though, are coffee recipes that require me to use a mixer or taste like a mushy coffee puffiness. I’mContinue reading “Nicki Eats’ Dalgona Coffee”

Manageability – Easy but stupid. I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself – making a recipe for things you can just go buy. I’m not a freaking pioneer, why am I making butter? Even if you want like a special butter, you can just purchase regular butter and blend in anything youContinue reading “Love Tabitha’s Easy Homemade Butter”

Manageability – Never the hell again. Ever. Croissants are probably my favorite breakfast starch. They’re light and fluffy and flavorful, I can eat them by themselves or as a sandwich, and I always just assumed they were a quick and easy prep. So when I found Martha Stewart’s Croissant recipe, I was pretty excited. MarthaContinue reading “Martha Stewart’s Croissants”
