Sending these sweet treats off to family and friends. This time of year just reminds me to spread the love. I love baking so why not give everyone baked goods? 😂 We tried @mydarlingvegan red velvet cookies, @ilovegan molasses cookies, @minimalistbaker sugar cookies, and @swankyrecipes pecan snowballs. 😅 We were BUSY. Rob, Coco, and I could not pick a favorite. #thisweeksbake #okcfoodie #okcvegan @padernokitchenware @elle.lindquist https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVmkBuhdRP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rryzj4sburyt

I could have folded laundry or cleaned up the house before I have to pick up Nico from school but I decided to bake. Because priorities, right? This weeks bake is Vegan Pumpkin Pecan Scones with Maple Glaze. I thought I should have one more fun bake before I start my marathon of cookie baking. Look out family and friends, they should be coming soon. As for now I get surprise Nico and Rob with scones. 🥰 Recipes by: #cookieandkate #thisweeksbake #okcvegan #okcfoodie #whatveganseat #veganbakedgoods #veganscones https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq-iL5HBzd1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qnom658gd556

Tonight magically began a new tradition. Once a month, it’s a mom/daughter foodie date! I literally just told @dorksquad07 to open yelp and pick dinner. She picked Frankie’s Italian in The Village on Britton and May. Did. Not. Disappoint. Pretty sure the whole family works there and it shows that they love it. It’s only been open a few months and opening a restaurant during a pandemic must have been bananas. Still, to go orders were flying out of the kitchen. I had baked Tuscany (shrimp, chicken, spinach in alla panna sauce then baked with mozzarella on top), she had baked penne and we split some cheesy garlic bread. 💋💋 we loved it! The best part of foodie dates is that Em will pick the place and then she gets to review the restaurant on yelp (I mean, I get final approval). Not a bad night out for a Thursday. #emandmomfoodiedate #okcfoodie #funwithfood (at Moore, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG9ARsNBNWGUO3wWFbs9KlMwlX8cgqnylMCWug0/?igshid=1brw0xjmmax8w

We are on day 3 of social distancing. I’m working for home for now. The world has felt so heavy lately, with all of this covid-19 panic. It’s frightening and uncertain, and I am freaked out by it, in all honesty. It’s scary because of the people hurting, and the people scared, and scary because of those who are going without food, or reliable shelter in the midst of it all. 

A long time ago, I got really in to baking as a means of coping with my anxiety. My thing was making the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I’m by no means a clean cook, so after mixing it all together, and popping my creation in the oven, I’d be covered in flour, my sink would be full of dirty dishes, but I’d feel better. And then, when I got sad later, at least there would be treats. 

I find that the current circumstances we are in have found me in the same place. I’m going through bags of flour and sticks of butter rapidly. I ordered 4 new cook books and a zester. This morning I woke up craving my favorite breakfast from Hunny Bunny Biscuit Co in OKC, where we live. But because of social distancing, we had to forgo. In the beginning of our relationship, Riley and I ate breakfast there every Saturday morning, and we loved it so much that when we moved in together, finding a house one street over from our favorite biscuit joint was a huge plus. To us, and to me, biscuits are the ultimate comfort food, and we’ve made a lot of memories that involve a flaky buttermilk biscuit and some sausage gravy. 

So, I decided, that today can still be biscuit day. We made a run to the grocery store for a few essentials and biscuit making supplies. It was picked over and a little sad to see. No flour on the shelves. But, here we are, a few hours later. Warm biscuits, warm hearts. 

These biscuits are from Joanna Gaines’s Magnolia Table. I love this book, and I love Jojo’s love for salted butter. And I had a lot of fun making this biscuits...

Step 1. Learn how to sub self rising flour because the store is out of all flour. Step 2. Three sticks of butter. Step 3. Pet the cat. Step 4. Stop thinking about the uncertainty and fear and bake the biscuits. Step 5. Eat the biscuits. Pet the cat. The house smells like butter and clean laundry. It’s raining and we are luckier than most.

I know that the coming days and the state of the world is frightening right now. Take care of each other. Take care of the earth. We will be ok. Be well.

x’s, o’s, biscuits,
