It’s already August? Geez, where did the summer go? Seems like just yesterday I was wishing for Birkenstock weather and now I can’t wait for it to cool down so I can use my oven comfortably again. My mom and little sister are going to be in town for a wedding this weekend, so I’m…

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Blueberry Lemon Buttercream
I know I go back and forth about cake verses pie on here, but birthdays call for cake. My cousin celebrated her birthday yesterday, so naturally I provided the dessert. I wanted something classic, but also interesting, and vanilla bean lends itself tremendously in the “classic” category. If you read the blog, you know that what…
Friday Favorites 7.29.15
I am finally almost done unpacking boxes from the move! If that’s not a new Friday favorite, then I don’t know what is. We’ve spent a lot of time rearranging the space and trying to see what works where. For now, all the bikes have a good home so I can say we prioritized correctly. Sadly…
No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
I am choosing to turn on the oven as little as possible this week. Seems like it was hot just about everywhere in the midwest this week, and we had a severe heat advisory until Friday night (hence the desire to not turn on my oven). I did cave on Friday night and made Minimalist…
Friday Favorites 7.22.16
After almost a month, I’m back! I hope you were able to follow my European adventures on Instagram (@danasedibleaffair) and had a wonderful holiday. Needless to say, we did not have any fireworks for the Fourth of July. I will say that all the falafel and gelato that I ate made up for it though….
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Whoever invented the peanut butter cup basically has my heart. I’m totally obsessed with the combination, and quite frankly surprised that these lasted in my freezer as long as they did. First off, I’m a sucker for dark chocolate. I have always liked it better than milk chocolate, maybe because I prefer the robust flavor…
Friday Favorites 6.17.16
Phew. I’ve been MIA from the blog for a few weeks. Contrary to my dream fantasy where I am a food blogger and get to make cookies and noodle dishes and shoot pretty photos of food all week – the reality is that my job/biking/life have gotten in the way of blogging recently. I’m back!…
Walnut Cherry Chia Granola
Since I already gave you guys the low down this week during Friday Favorites, I’m gonna keep this one short and sweet. I can only whine about my cold so many times before you’re like, “okay, we get it”. I like granola, but you guys already knew that. I also like how easy it is,…
Friday Favorites – the gin & tonic
It’s Friday, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve been battling this cold – sore throat, congestion, sneezing (essentially the works) for about a week and can’t seem to kick it. So – I plan on spending the long holiday weekend to get caught up on stuff around the house, plan a week in…
Coconut Date Creamer ( + the cold brew craze)
Last week I fell victim to a very expensive 16oz cold brew on the way to work. Essentially I paid the same for a cup of cold brew that I would have for a latte and I after I paid the barista, the only thought going through my head was, seriously? That’s what I get for…
Hi, I'm Dana! I work as a full time engineer and part time foodie in Minneapolis, MN. Outside of food blogging, I love riding my bike, traveling, and anything outdoors.
