Hey, y’all!
We haven’t talked since October.
A lot’s been going on.
But that’s not what we’re here to discuss!
We’re here to discuss #FoodBloggerLove 2019, the time of year when food bloggers across the blogosphere take the time out to show some love to their fellow food bloggers.
This year, I was assigned to Chef Sarah Elizabeth. This was…a lot of pressure. Of all the food blogs I follow, I have the BIGGEST blog crush on her. Sarah wrote about my blog during last year’s #FoodBloggerLove during, and I’ve been madly in love with her blog ever since. She loves sweets, home entertaining, and pink cocktails, so you can immediately see why I’m a big fan.
Sarah does a lot of entertainment-themed blog posts, and so for my post dedicated to her this year, I’m using one of my TV-themed cookbooks, which happens to correspond to one of my favorite shows ever…
During an early episode, Phoebe has to break some bad news to Rachel, and she makes her oatmeal cookies to soften the blow.
“I make the world’s best oatmeal-raisin cookies in the world,” she says. “I don’t make them a lot, because I don’t think it’s fair to the other cookies.”
To go with these cookies, I made a milkshake jam-packed with coffee flavor in homage to the hours and hours (and hours, and hours, and hours…) the friends spend in Central Perk.
Please make sure to visit Sarah’s Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram pages, because her blog and social media are such fun, and I just know you’ll love her posts and other content as much as I do!
