A Just Good 30th Birthday Giveaway

April 30, 2013 by Kristin

Just Good Chocolate Giveaway

I am not at all certain how my thirtieth birthday could possibly be next week.  I mean, nothing about me feels thirty.  Nothing at all, not one bit.  But here it is, thirty, peeking at me from around the corner.  And regardless of how I feel or don’t feel, thirty is just gonna happen.  So what am I going to do about it?

Brownie Batter

Well, I’m going to run away to LA for nine days at the end of the week (see, I’m not much of a thirty year old).

But first, I’m going to host a giveaway for lots and lots of Just Good Chocolate goodies.  Fifty dollars worth of top notch cocoa powder, brownie mix, hot cocoa, and chocolate nib/fruit/nut snack mixes could be yours.  And the winner, the winner will be announced on my thirtieth birthday.

Just Good Brownies

And just to give you an idea of how good Just Good brownies are…  I made an entire batch this afternoon.  I ate two.  I left one out for Hansell, only because he’s moving to Austin today.  And I froze the rest so that I can have a Just Good brownie whenever I darn well please.  There’s minimal sharing going on here, folks, because Just Good brownies are just that good.

To enter, simply leave a comment below letting me know your favorite chocolate dessert between now and 8PM CST on Wednesday, May 8th.  I’ll announce and contact the winner first thing on my birthday, May 9th!

I’m going to put a super positive spin on work, namely estimating lots and lots of concrete, stealing all of my energy this week.  There’s no baking, no yoga, no happy hours.  But!  There’s lots and lots of music listening.  These songs have been on heavy rotation this week, allowing me to sneak in the occasional grin and shoulder shake at my desk.  Enjoy!

The Breakfast Club

April 23, 2013 by Kristin

The Breakfast Club

Two of the most notably wonderful things about twenty thirteen thus far are Sunday breakfasts and the acquisition of a boat.  Sunday breakfast followed by a boat ride is our newest thing.  And it just so happens that Sunday breakfast followed by a boat ride is also the greatest thing.

Homemade Waffles

Ever since I made waffles for Matt’s 31st birthday, the people are addicted.  But rather than make the same darn waffles every time, I decided to experiment.  Thankfully, everyone is totally on board.  Today we went with three different flavors: amaretto, coconut, and hot chocolate.  I completely dug the coconut.  Everyone else was obsessed with the “cocoa puff” waffles.

Sausage Peppers and Eggs

I’ve also been making some sort of egg dish to accompany the waffle breakfast.  Today’s hot sausage, onion, orange and yellow bell pepper, and monterey jack cheese combo turned out especially well.  I’m hoping this was the perfect segway to the savory waffle topped with an over-medium egg that I plan on making next weekend!
