Some days I feel like I’m photographing a food porn commercial. Like, there is SERIOUSLY SOMETHING ILLICIT ABOUT WHAT I’M DOING AND I CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.
Does anybody else ever feel this way?
I am pretty sure my neighbors feel this way about what I do all the time.
I’ve finally given in and gone to the dark side: Follow me on Instagram. I hear the dark side has some bomb PB&J bars… Life is full of hypotheticals:
My best friend may be the child of alien dodos.
Neil Patrick Harris may be secretly, madly in love with me.
And I may or may not be obsessed with peanut butter & jelly.
As you can probably tell by the ridiculous amount of food porn in this post, that last hypothetical is so totally up for debate.
I mean, just look at that peanut butter pouring down and … Read more
Welcome to the first edition of Friday Wallflavourites!
Readers and friends frequently ask me where I find my Inspiration for my blogging and recipes.
Truth is, there are some blogs out there that just kill me with inspiration every time I read them.
And since WG has gone through such an exciting expansion recently, I thought I’d finally give a little link loving back with a new series dedicated to my favorite recipes around the web from the week. Be sure to click through to check out these awesome bloggers and their amazing recipes!
So let’s begin! Have you seen … Read more
Congrats to Kathlene and Ivy for winning two AWESOME personalized care packages in last week’s giveaway! I can’t wait to create an epic assortment of goodies for you both!
I really dislike chocolate cupcakes.
Wait, say what?
It’s funny how we all define the good things in life so differently. Back when kids used to bring boxes of assorted cupcakes to celebrate their birthday, I loved to ogle (okay, creepy) and watch each student make the all-important decision of which type of cupcake to take–chocolate with vanilla frosting?
Last week I shared with you the enormously successful Edible Books Festival that our library hosts every year around the beginning of April.
Well, today I’m sharing two award-winning recipes: Soaked coconut poke cake, and Kahlua rum cake!
(Don’t forget: WG’s personalized care package giveaway ends tomorrow, 4/22–hurry and enter!)

I am unapolegetically posting these photos of my Calvin & Hobbes-inspired entries–after spending basically 50 hours planning & executing my interactive cakes/cookies/displays, my hands were … Read more
It’s gif season!
(Pssst–if you like this gif, maybe you should consider following my shiny new Twitter account for the latest WG updates. Also, have you entered my personalized care package giveaway yet?)
I know what you’re thinking.
Actually, I’m just saying that. If I really knew what you were thinking, I wouldn’t be hanging around my toybox apartment scrounging up pennies to pay the rent. I’d be out there investing in a get-rich scheme that would involve a crystal ball, inch-thick spectacles, and tons of foggy incense.
But. I still know what you’re thinking.
“YUM.”
Pretty close, right? It’s … Read more
Enter for your chance to win one of two personalized care packages, as seen on this blog, Wallflour Girl!
To celebrate finally moving and revamping my entire site recently, I’m hosting a second My Kitchen to Yours giveaway!
Have you ever seen a photo or recipe on Wallflour Girl that makes you stop and want to lick the pixels right off your computer screen? Well, now you can! But without the eyebrow-raising that I’m sure your friends and coworkers would give you if you tried to eat your screen… 
This is not meant to be a huge blow-out giveaway. … Read more
I am so thrilled to be writing today about a big recent event that is incredibly near and dear to my heart…
The annual Edible Book Festival!
Now you can have your cake <–yeah you can still have your cake, and book, and eat them both. And if you think the concept of an ‘edible book’ sounds silly, you can come and eat your words, too. Heh.
(Above: You can see some of my friends making the most of this event! As they do…)
As an English grad student and avid fan of all things literature, I bet … Read more
I’m beaming with the power of a thousand and fifty-two suns as I type this, so here it is:
Wallflour Girl has moved to a self-hosted site and domain! Ta-da! *drums bells and whistles*
Everything you see here–the new layout, design, even this beautiful new visual recipe index–I created. I know, right? Scary.
So if you were wondering why it’s been so quiet around here lately, it’s because two weeks’ worth of late-night CSS/HTML epic battles were happening in this tiny madhouse apartment. You might like to take some time to browse around all the new menu pages and … Read more
There are two types of vacationers in this world:
There are the people who ship themselves off to sunny tropical islands like Hawaii or the Caribbean and return as refreshed as a spring pixie…
And then there’s me.
My Air Walk sneakers dragged their dirty, sorry-faced soles across American soil once again at around 9 PM last night, when our plane finally landed after a grueling 11-hour stint from Asia. If you happen to live in my part of the hemisphere and felt the earth tremble beneath your slippers 18 hours ago, that was probably just my knees giving … Read more
