Here’s what this past week looked like:
My hair is getting long. I kinda want to cut it super short.
I love lists, Friday!

WHY IS YOUR DOG IN A PURSE?! We discuss what makes us High Maintenance & Low Maintenance on this week’s Joy the Baker Podcast!
On this week’s High Straightenence, I show you how I organized MY HALL CLOSET. Phew! It feels good to have that done.
My Bites on the Net:
Lisa from Tomatoes in Love made my Arugula Apple Avocado Salad.
Mel from the Dizzy Mom made my Coconut Cake with Berries & Cream for 4th of July.
Katie from the Muffin Myth celebrated her blog’s new look with my Sour Cream Chocolate Bundt Cake!
Linds from the MuffingTin Post (love the name!) made Caprese Sandwiches with my Caramelized Onion Jam.
Sticky Balsamic Ribs
While I was letting these ribs sit in the fridge to marinate, I got it in my head to invite some friends over for dinner. Casey panicked and interrupted my phone call with, “What are you gonna feed them for dinner??!” As in…he didn’t want me to share his ribs with anyone. I thought it was cute.
He was lucky they didn’t pick up the phone. But really…I was the lucky one. I randomly made a batch of taquitos a few hours before dinner just so I could fill him up and eat more ribs. I’m selfish/smart like that.
There’s no shame.
These Sticky Balsamic Ribs are fantastically tender, sticky tangy, sweet, easy to make & eat…everything ribs should be!
Sharing is optional.
Blueberry Pudding Cake
I got a little overzealous when I bought blueberries last week. It’s a shame that Cooper decided he doesn’t like blueberries this year. KIDS!
I wondered if I could get him to eat blueberries in cake form? Do you think it worked??
Nope. Just two adults eating Blueberry Pudding Cake out of a pan….in addition to these three bowls.
I always serve up an extra bowl for an imaginary guest. That bowl is YOURS.
There’s also something to the idea behind decorating in threes. You just gotta.
How does it taste?
It’s like a thin warm blueberry muffin served up in a bowl.
If you like a little cake with your blueberries, this one’s for you. Amazing.
I guess part of me is glad he doesn’t like blueberries. Not my thigh part. Unless thick thighs are in season.
And yeah…the little boy doesn’t like whipped cream either! I’m getting DNA tests done now. He can’t be mine…
4th of July Foods!
The 4th of July is all about COLLABORATION!
If you’re still trying to decide what to bring to a 4th of July party this week, let’s brainstorm!
