Hot Butterbeer Latte for One

Try a Hot Butterbeer Latte for One (inspired by Harry Potter!) when you want a fun fall-inspired hot coffee drink that isn’t a pumpkin spice latte.

Now, let me preface this by saying that I am a firm believer that there is a time and a place for a PSL, namely, nearly every day from October through November, and in my belly. But like the saying goes, variety is the spice of life and that’s where this fun little number comes in.

Inspiration for this latte came from a couple different sources. Harry Potter first and foremost for the flavor profile, but also bulletproof coffee (read more about what it is here). In a nutshell, bulletproof coffee is coffee blended with grass-fed butter and MCT oil (or coconut oil) until it’s thick and foamy like a latte. Dave Asprey (the guy who invented it), says the healthy fats in bulletproof coffee basically supercharge your morning with energy and focus. (And I speak from experience when I say that I’m a fan of bulletproof coffee as well! It keeps me fueled at least until lunchtime.)

I took the bulletproof idea one step further and browned the butter. Because why not?

If you’ve never had a butterbeer, its flavor profile is quite a treat. According to Fox News, when Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling was asked about butterbeer she replied, “I made it up. I imagine it to taste a little bit like less sickly butterscotch.”

So then I think about the flavor of butterscotch, which is sweet and buttery-rich, with complex flavor notes of nuts and caramel (at least to me, lol). That’s why I decided to brown the butter – so it would add a nutty dimension to the drink. Coconut sugar adds caramel-like flavor notes, and while vanilla is a must, you can omit the almond and rum extracts if you like. A teensy hint of fresh-grated nutmeg gives it an intoxicatingly alluring aroma.

And just like that, bulletproof butterbeer was born, which is basically so wrong it’s right, lol.

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
