It’s birthday week over here, with Mikey’s birthday just a week after mine. To celebrate, here’s a delicious recipe recommendation from Milk Bar NYC: Chocolate Malt Cake. All of Milk Bar’s Famous Recipes are shared publicly on their website, and this is the second time I’ve made a cake of theirs. I didn’t complete all of the elements, for example the cake crumble, which looks absolutely incredible. I simply fizzled out after the homemade cake and frosting, ha. Regardless, Chocolate Malt is a childhood flavor for me, so this cake recipe was a slam dunk. You can find the recipe HERE or by clicking the link below:
A One-Pan Wonder Bowl
And to feel a little balanced after all that decadence and nostalgia, here’s a recipe that’s more of a method than a recipe. It’s my most-cooked meal right now. When we have a busy week, some variation of this recipe shows up at LEAST once a week, sometimes every night. Protein, Veggies, Rice, and FLAVOR, what’s not to love? I love every single little topping and sauce that you can add to this basic meal. It’s amazing what a drizzle of this or that will do to make a meal like this exciting. I even have a quick pink pickled onions recipe. The pickle brine you can actually use for any vegetable you want to pickle, it’s a simple basic pickle recipe. You can read more on this one-pan recipe/method and all its variations HERE.
A Little Orange & Eucalyptus Painting
And to get back into the artsy swing of things after a busy holiday season, what’s not to love about an orange and eucalyptus wreath? This one was inspired by the fragrant garlands that were all over my house for the holidays and I just can’t get rid of them yet. They bring a little brightness to dreary January days.
Happy January Friends:)
