DIY Infused Honey

In Nashville I ate the most delicious cheesey salty crispy Turkish appetizer (think Turkish   flauta)... That was served with rose jam. 

And while I can't tell you how to make mind blowing rose jam I can say how I make rose honey. 

And lavender honey. 

And vanilla honey. 

I'm a honey expert bruh. 

No, for reals. Just take your honey and put it in small jars (cost plus has a great selection) with whatever flavor agent/flower/herb you like. Please be sure you're using an edible version of. 

Cinnamon honey might be a nice thanksgiving gift...

I stuck mine in a windowsill and turned it upside down/right side up every few days to agitate and make sure the honey was mixed. 

If I were giving it as a gift I'd strain it, but I enjoy my honey sola. 

And it is sweet. 

Healthier Sundae

Peaches. 

Honey. 

Frozen Greek yogurt. 

Yes. 

Fresh Greek yogurt might be even better...

Mom's Sour Cream Cookies

So I have two new neighbors, three new coworkers, and four periods of very hungry students. 

So naturally I decided this was the time to dust off the cookie press and mom's old recipe for sour cream cookies. 

Cuz I don't know about you but I can never work my way through a tub of sour cream before it goes bad. 

Use sour cream and impress folks: don't mind if I do!

And, in a savy modern touch I split the shortening half butter and half coconut oil. I think that practically makes these a health food...

Bagel Ballin'

So being the goddess o plenty that I am I brought breakfast and lunch supplies for my coworkers our first week back at work. 

And the second week I had a whole stack of un-eaten bagels. Low carb blah blah blah. 

But when life hands you bagels: make savory bread pudding. 

It's seed-y and healthy and hearty and soft with a crunchy crust. Oh hell yes. 

Old ass bagels cut into cubes

Eggs beaten with milk (enough to cover tr bagel chunks as though you were making French toast) 

Greens (baby kale and spinach... Or in my case salad mix that was on its last leg)

Butternut squash chunks (just buy the pre cut TJ's sheeeet)

Onion, chopped

Ground beef/turkey/sausage 

And some spices or something (garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes? Sage? Hot sauce? Whatever dude.)

Cook the meat. Add the veg and spices. Cool. Use cast iron and you won't even need a baking dish (laaazy score!)

Let the cubed bagels soak up the egg mess while you're cookin all that other stuff

Mix it all and bake till its set (350ish for ??? Minutes)

You, and your next brunch party, are welcome.
