Things Making Me Happy Right Now
This is a "Things Making Me Happy Right Now" food edition!
Williams Sonoma Croissants - If you have never had these ... seriously treat yourself. When we're on vacation at a house or condo, we love to have these delivered ahead of time so we can bake them for breakfast. They come in a box of 15 frozen. You set out as many of the frozen croissants you want and let them rise overnight. The smell of fresh dough in the morning is mmm yummy. Place the croissants in the oven and get ready to live. No jam, no butter, not necessary. They come out of the oven buttery and flaky and fresh and warm and melt in your mouth amazing. You owe it to yourself to try these. Shop here
Kitchen Timer from Anthropologie - Had this forever and it still makes me happy. Just a fun kitchen accessory. That's all. Shop here
McClures Pickles - If you appreciate a good pickle, these are the way to go. This company cans their pickles in Detroit and Brooklyn and they use as much local produce as possible. The result is a tangy, vinegary, spicy, fresh pickle with a touch of garlic and a great crunch. I love a great crunch. Shop here
McClures Bloody Mary Mix - Using the brine from their yummy spicy pickles as the base, this mix makes for one heck of a fabulous Bloody Mary. Each batch is made by hand and contains locally-sourced ingredients—starting with cayenne and habanero peppers for the brine and topped off with tomato paste and fresh pressed cucumber juice. Add vodka, perhaps a McClures pickle or a few oilves and voilĂ ... happy weekend morning to you. Shop here
Sea Salt Carmels - Sea salt and buttery caramel ... salty and sweet ... really what more is there to say? What I'm loving and munching on right now.
Jadeite Mixing Bowl - I have had this forever and I love it. Classically retro and the best shade of green. I get excited to make muffins just so I can use my mixing bowl. A cute apron is optional but I highly recommend it. Shop here
White Gold Honey from Williams Sonoma - This honey is so decadent and creamy and delicious. It is such a treat on yogurt or granola or a slice of fresh bread ... or just by the spoonful! Its the bee's knees!
Sarabeth's Jams & Marmalades - Sarabeth's is one of our most favorite places to go for brunch in New York. We actually first went to Sarabeth's for breakfast one morning in Key West, not knowing it was a New York restaurant. We saw it in New York and thought ... is that the same place? Sarabeth's started as a tiny bakery-kitchen where she could sell her amazing preserves and baked goods. Its now a full blown restaurant with 3 locations in NY and the one in Key West. Her jams and preserves, which started it all, are delicious. Pictured here is Raspberry Orange Marmalade. There is also Orange Apricot, Strawberry Peach, Blueberry Cherry, Raspberry Key Lime and many more amazing delicious flavors. Shop here
