LWOM: Healthy Apple Spice Bars with Caramel Penuche Icing

Posted on February 28, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

It was a Wednesday, and as a consequence, Piglet was sitting on a log. Mind you, this was his Wednesday log, which is different from his Thursday or Saturday log, although sometimes you found it hard to tell the difference, and so did Piglet.

“Tiddly pom, hum,” he said, since it seemed like the right thing to say when one is sitting on a Wednesday log.

Speaking of the right thing to say, it was an afternoon perfect for soft, warmly-spiced apple bars frosted with caramel penuche icing and–

“Excuse me?” said Piglet.

“Excuse me,” I said, startled.

“Were … Read more

What the FUDGE Brownies

Posted on February 22, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

One golden rule to the art of storytelling has withstood the test of time and clime:

“Show, don’t tell.”

I call it story-showing. If a picture’s worth 1000 words, a moving image is priceless.

What story does this gif show you?

Maybe it shows you a comforting, rich, fudgy morsel of relief on the tattered couch after an exhausting Friday.

Maybe it shows you a righty trying really hard to be a lefty, with limited success.

Or perhaps it shows you something subtler.

Maybe it shows you a girl staring out the window into the distance as the seconds on … Read more

Lovey Dovey Trifecta Cookies and Sweetheart Cupcakes

Posted on February 18, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

I’ll admit it–I’m a little vixen.

This crazy (good) cupcake-and-cookie love blast combo is brought to you by a little V-day vixen named Ala.

Consequently, the V-day jean-size-enlargement-of-everyone-around-me scheme was also instigated by yours truly.

Because let’s face it: us bakers siphon off our baked goods onto our friends, classmates, family, significant others, grocers, landladies, and cute cafe seat neighbors for one reason, and one reason alone.

We’re out to get your jeans.

But in all seriousness–does anybody else out there feel the same way? Or am I just a complete aberration in occasionally feeling this way?

Anybody who knows … Read more

Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies

Posted on February 14, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

So sombody’s been listening to “I won’t say I’m in love” on repeat today!

I won’t say–er, who.

Happy Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day, folks!

In honor of this lovely, commercial-saturated annual holiday, I am 1) sharing the recipe & photos for this gorgeous red velvet cheesecake bar recipe (in case you haven’t had enough red velvet to last you a bleeding lifetime this month! This is my only, I promise), and 2) sharing 10 things I will be doing to celebrate a day of love, single or otherwise.

But these bars really are the best. I actually had the honor of popping … Read more

Classy Overnight Blueberry French Toast

Posted on February 12, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

Every once in a while, something happens in our lives that makes us put the gear in park, turn off the ignition, and just wonder.

I consider myself a fairly happy-go-lucky person. I am, after all, a hybrid donut and crepe type on my Breakfast Breakdown of Personality Types. That’s not my gushing description when I step into the interview room, but gloomy funks and I don’t mix-‘n-match well. For better or for worse, I am no Eeyore.

Without getting into too much detail here–the story is long, weighty, and (only for the purposes of my musings here, though … Read more

Insanely Fudgy Deconstructed Twix Brownies

Posted on January 11, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

Happy Friday! Or, if you’re at my house, Happy Gooey, Rich, Caramel-y, Fudgy Friday…

In honor of this momentous occasion, I have composed an incredibly insightful, original, and profound song for all of you…

(Sung to the tune of something vaguely resembling Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” the rights to which I do not own–thank God.)

♪ Oo-ooh-ooh, ooh yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah-ah-ah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

7 AM waking up in the morning

Skipping to the chorus ‘cuz this verse’s boring….

It’s GooeyRichCaramel-yFudgyday,

GooeyRichCaramel-yFudgyday,

gotta get brown(-ies) on Friday

Everybody’s looking forward to the

Freakin’ fudgy brownies!

About This Blog and the Wallflour Writer, Ala

Posted on January 6, 2013by wallflourgirl

With a new year under our (rather loosened post-holiday) belts, I’ve decided to finally buckle down (pun shamelessly intended) and begin some serious makeover work on this blog. One of my (many, some reasonable and some less so) resolutions is to give this place the facelift that will make you, dear readers, feel more at home. Wallflour Girl will be 6 months old come February, and with a brand new DSLR camera in hand, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this food blog than to celebrate you and, more importantly, us!

So let me tell … Read more

LWOM: Berry Oat-fait in a Bowl

Posted on January 6, 2013April 7, 2014by wallflourgirl

In today’s edition of Literary Wit and an Oven Mitt, we’re throwing aside the mitt and going bear paws all the way…and it is a beary, berry long way indeed to All the Way…

“What’s a long way?” asked Pooh, who had been poking his nose into a jar of honey to see if there was anything left in it. He recalled that there had been, or at least there had been last Monday, before lunchtime, because his stomach had had that funny feeling in it that meant it was time for a small smackerel, and he had poked his … Read more
