       Pie is a plus on any holiday, but they seem to go rather well with July celebrations.... soooo, HAPPY FOURTH EVERBODY!!!   We're celebrating by stuffing our faces with gyoza (because we're asian), ceviche (because its delicious), and "clam diggers" (because it's a secret family recipe... and it's totally not as gross as it sounds-trust!)

P.S.- Aren't these pie crust SOO COOOL!?!?! I LOVE baking and eating pies more than anything, but I'm sort of tired of that lumpy homemade look. I can't wait to try these awesome crusts, the shingled one reminds me of lace- soo pretty!

Sugar coated words...

     These fantastic personalized message cookie cutters will be mine. I have to have them! They combine all the things I love about life- little utterances of beautiful words and baking. I'm imagining all the possibilities already.

Pretty Valentine's Palmiers

(via just food now)

     I recently posted about my favorite cook book I Know How to Cook. So, ok, maybe I chose that book instead of all the rest because it was exploding with great color pallets (yeah. I'm that girl), but truthfully, it was a great choice! Every recipe is sooo simple and the outcome always tastes fancy and delicious! My recent favorite recipe is the delicious Palmiers! These puff pastry desserts taste great with tea and coffee, but the best part is their simplicity. My absolute favorite thing about that cook book is that everything is made from scratch. You only need the most basic ingredients (that you probably already have in your kitchen). These Palmiers only take four ingredients: flour, butter, salt, and sugar. You just mix them together in a fancy way and then roll up the dough in a fancy way and cut the roll into little slices. After all that fancy, the slices look like mangled and droopy, but after you pop them in the oven for a little, they come out looking like hearts (or mustaches)! They are a fantastic Valentine's Day treat! Start off the day right by serving them with coffee to all your loved ones!
