All Things Thursday: 300 Sandwiches EditionHello Everybody! Happy All Things Thursday! Let’s talk 300 sandwiches.

“You are 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!” her boyfriend exclaimed. And so the young lady got cooking. Apparently, after making him #256 she finally got the ring. It sounds like a story I’d want to tell my future children.

 Children: Mommy, how did daddy know you were the one?

Mommy: Well, it’s a beautiful story, kids. You see, your daddy loves sandwiches and…

 Now, about the food…

I’ve got a buddy who’s into all things rhubarb and cocktails. He could do wonders with this Rhubarb Syrup. The Kitchn

After making Vegan Chocolate Avocado Truffles, I’m thinking truffles might be my new thing. As such, these Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles are on deck. Put On Your Cake Pants

Guacamole is the truth, but Spicy Guacamole? Natasha’s Kitchen

Gourmet Spinach Blue Cheese Burgers. Need I write more? One Hundred Dollars A Month

I just want to smash these Triple Vanilla Brownies into my mouth! Classy Cutter

 

The end of Spring semester is near, my friends. Perhaps, I will celebrate with all of the above. Would you blame me? Until next time…

All Things Thursday: Incredible Week Edition

All Things Thursday: Incredible Week Edition

It’s been a incredible week!

I ate grilled chocolate sandwiches for the first time, Kitchen Daily featured my recipe for grilled cheese egg in the hole, and I’m averaging an A in both my classes. I’m feeling fine, y’all…just fine.

Moreover, I was supposed to meet Leonardo Dicaprio and his supermodel girlfriend for dinner at KFC, but for some strange reason I stood them up. Incredibly weird. The upside is I got to meet Dizzy Gillespie and we had a nice chat. Freaking Dizzy Gillespie, man! Yeah, I forgot all about Leo after that. Of course, it was all a crazy dream. Leo doesn’t eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, people! And The Great Dizzy is long gone, but our tête-à-tête was beautiful.

Now, about the food…

Butterfinger Cookies. Seriously? Must have. Cookies and Cups

I’ve never had a Chocolate Cannoli before, but this recipe makes me want to change that. Bakers Royale

If I make Dave this Killer Ham and Cheese Melt he will love me forever. Who am I kidding? That’s already guaranteed. Real Food by Dad

I want this Chocolate Hazelnut Layer Cake…and I mean now! Cookies and Cups

Now I know what to serve with the Killer Ham and Cheese Melt-The Best Oven Chips Ever. The Sugar Hit

It’s been a long and incredible week, my friends.  I must take my leave. Until next time…

 

If you can dream it, you can do it.

All Things Thursday: Back In the Game Edition

All Things Thursday: Back in the Game Edition by I bake he shoots | ibakeheshoots.com

I know what you’re thinking…

All that talk about your one new year’s resolution and here it is, April 17th and you’ve only written 4 All Things Thursday posts…for shame!

And you’re right. I had a pretty decent start and then things started falling apart-all-things-thursday wise. Then Dave left his studio, we stopped working on the site, and things got a bit worse. I’m not going to lie to you. I wasn’t into I bake he shoots at all. For me, it was a non-entity…something I used to do. I compartmentalized the experience because it just made me sad.

Recently, about 2 weeks ago, Dave and I got back in the game. Dave started shooting again and the results have been amazing! If you put him in the right environment, he will do incredible things-like these Waffles of Insane Greatness. I’m just glad that we’re back; and I feel lucky to be able to work with such a fantastic photographer.

What I’m trying to say is…I’ll do my best not to leave you hanging in the future.

Now…onto the food.

Apparently, you can get amazing Chocolate Mousse with just chocolate and water. Are you freaking kidding me? Food52

If you’re craving a truly decadent dessert, make this Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Caramel Tart and be satisfied. Martha Stewart

Lamb, Arugula, and Feta Tacos. Make it! Food52

Chocolate Meringue Cake. It’s happening. Donna Hay

If someone could have these Orange Rolls ready for me Sunday morning, I’d be over the moon. Tutti Dolci

Whew! That’s a lot of goodies, right there. I better get started.

Thanks for checking in…and giving me some time to get it together. Until next time, my friends.

Best,

Mondo

All Things Thursday: Prison Wine Edition

All Things Thursday: Prison Wine EditionHappy All Things Thursday!

How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you stuff your face with a 1 lb assortment of nuts and chews from See’s Candies? Afterward, did you walk 4 miles because you felt a wee bit guilty? After that, did you completely negate your workout by stuffing your face with pizza and chocolate cake at your bestie’s daughter’s birthday party? No? Um…me neither.

So…Time Magazine named Kit Kat as the most influential candy bar in the world. Apparently, it was the first candy bar marketed with the idea of sharing, as it has four pieces that you can easily break apart. I get that it was named most influential. I mean, who’s not influenced by crunchy wafers covered in chocolate? What I don’t get is the concept of sharing. If you try to get some of my Kit Kat, you will lose a finger. (LA Times)

Get ready to get excited, wine lovers….Italy’s got something very special for you. Are you ready for prison wine! Yeah, man…50 of Italy’s finest criminals got together to make alcohol for ya. It’s called Gorgona and it retails for $95. Here’s hoping they didn’t make it in the toilet. (FoodBeast)

Speaking of wine…I’m digging these Wine Fruit Snacks. Alcohol + candy = yes, please. (Thrive-Style)

Just give me the whole batch of Crispy Cornmeal Sweet Potato Fries. (My New Roots)

Yes, please, and thank you. Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies with Caramel and Peanut Butter. (Bakeaholic Mama)

Let there be Lemony Pull Apart Bread and I will rejoice. (Eating Yummy)

Vegan Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. Sugar free and dairy free…color me intrigued. (Colourful Palate)

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits is really the #1 reason why everyone goes to Red Lobster. (Damn Delicious)

I’ve missed you guys. Let’s try to keep in touch, shall we?
