I really enjoyed this post about homemade sushi via The Bojon Gourmet. It's very helpful to see a video of it being made, especially if you've never attempted it before. It's easier than it sounds!

Here are a few random favorites from around the interwebs: 


hazelnut layer cake with fig compote + cream cheese frosting

Addicting Sea Salt Iced Coffee with Sea Salt Cream Recipe on @whiteonrice

Via The Savory. I love this quote. It's great to follow recipes to a T, but at some point you need to branch out and make a recipe your own.




salted chocolate espresso cookies

Salted Chocolate Espresso Cookies via My Daily Morsel. Looks like a few of these would slip down easily with a cold glass of milk. Mmhmm.




This is what I should do with my low counter. :)

Via Kitty Cat Stevens. I would love to put some open shelves above my low counter and turn it into a baking station. Hint hint, Reuben...

I have to have whipped cream on my cocoa. Also, it tastes better in a jelly jar. :P
I have been making heaps of cocoa lately. I make mine by mixing 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder with 1 tablespoon of evaporated cane syrup, then pour in milk and cream and top with whipped cream. So good.
