New(ish) year, new ways to lolligag!

While most folks spend January and February discovering hot yoga or organic wheatgrass protein shakes, our family is usually busy finding new ways to lolligag. Over the holidays, this household becomes the shampoo commercial equivalent of lazing around: Wake, eat, nap, annnnd…repeat.

We’ve become the champions of chilling, the pros of procrastinating, the experts of ineffectualness. Heck, I think we might even have earned ourselves a visit to … Read more

We’ve had our emergency bags packed for a week now, but we’re the lucky ones by far. This whole ordeal with the LA wildfires has felt eerily reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic: Office and school closures, masks everywhere, county-wide emergency notifications–a whole lot of confusion about whether to stay put or just hightail it out of the city as fast as you … Read more

It’s Labor Day weekend! It’s also eight days since my last baking session, eight weeks since I lounged on an Alaskan cruise with my parents, and eight months since my last blog post…Yikes!

Needless to say, things have been busy around here and while not everything has necessarily been easy, I’m happy to report that it’s been filled with some pretty memorable milestones. In the past eight months, I’ve … Read more

Every once in a while, a recipe comes along that is so mind-blowingly scrumdiddlyumptious, it’s worth dragging yourself out of the Blogging Bogs of Banishment to post about it. This, my friends, is one of those awesome recipes.

Though I’ve never been a fan of coffee (the drink), I grew up in a household where coffee (the flavor) was the stuff of dessert legend. My grandma in particular was the Matriarch of … Read more

My pet bird smells like wet socks.

As I sit here trying to describe the bright, citrus tones and velvety rich white chocolate notes that make these Copycat Cranberry Bliss Bars so damn wonderful, all I can focus on is the … Read more

Here you are, scrolling idly on your internet browser, and you catch a startling flash of these salted caramel snickerdoodle bars. For a moment, your finger pauses as you consider swiping past. You can almost feel the caramel oozing off the screen, a crystal mess of cinnamon-sugar showering your plate as you sink your teeth into … Read more

The post The BEST Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Bars appeared first on Wallflour Girl.

Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly philosophical while baking, the most curious little thoughts will drift past my mind.

What do tuxedo penguins wear to the office on casual Fridays?

Would a giraffe know what to do if you asked it to put on a necktie?

Who’s to say that birds of paradise shouldn’t actually have googly eyes?

How many scrumptious dark chocolate morsels make up each one … Read more

What’s shaped like a hockey puck, darker than an episode of Squid Game, and more delicious than the sweet taste of victory when you finally run longer than your panting, sweating arch-nemesis does at the gym (who, unbeknownst to them, has been competing with you in a silent, slightly petty treadmill race for the past six months)?

Guys, welcome to … Read more

In my line of work, we see celebrities about as often as you’d see signs of illicit inebriation in a college frat house.

I’ve chatted with Jeff Goldblum about running marathons in a unicorn onesie; run into Jon Favreau ordering a grande whatsit at Starbucks downstairs; watched Emilia Clarke recite quippy marketing one-liners that I’d written for her latest film promotion; … Read more

I’m sorry, Ms. Jackson…These cookies are for real.

It’s very rare in our household that a new dessert becomes an instant Wallflour Boy hit. Unlike me, he prefers 2000s hip hop hits to 90s bubblegum pop and savory foods over sweet treats. There are, however, a few notable exceptions: French apple pie, cheesecake, and anything … Read more
