I opened the mail after I came in from a run and found this apron waiting for me
It was from Alexia Foods and I received the apron and the coupon because I am a FoodBuzz Featured Publisher
“I Rewite the Recipe Book”. Actually, I can’t follow a recipe to a T to save my life or even make my own recipes twice. So yes, that’s true.
Don’t judge the outfit. 10 year old long sleeve running shirt with shorts that don’t match.
And post workout ponytail hair. Oh well, I’ve blogged and posted pictures from the hair salon with foils in my hair, so my pride is gone anyway.
I have collected quite a few aprons in my blogging career:
An Apron from Katie for Skylar
From This Post. February 10, 2010. Not even 1 year ago and wow, Skylar looks so little!
And I actually have a few more aprons, too! Quite the stash. Too bad I almost never think to put an apron on.
It would be good to put an apron on when making Dark Chocolate Coconut Snowballs
It can get kind of messy working with chocolate! Then again, these are just a bowl and a spoon, and the freezer. No mixer required. How messy can things get?
This recipe gets messier because of the powdered sugar: Vegan Peanut Butter Chex Mix, aka “Puppy Chow”
I have a whole post of Chocolate Recipes so if you want to get your mess on, check it out!
Glad you liked my Friday Foods and recipes and thanks for filling me in on whether you like to go out to eat, or not. Any why. Everyone is so different and it’s fun to read about.
I had tons of comments on that post and I really appreciate all my new readers, my existing readers, my readers that have recently de-lurked and are commenting. It seems like my move to Wordpress is making things easier for everyone. Amen to that!
Questions:
1. Do you wear aprons?
No, not usually because….see #2
2. Do you consider yourself a messy, neat, or in the middle, type of cook.
I rarely wear aprons probably because I am a neat freak and just don’t make that much of a mess when I’m cooking. I am the person who stops to do some dishes in the middle of cooking because it annoys me to see dirty dishes all over the countertop!
And in similar fashion, I don’t make much of a mess all over my clothes, which I guess is good. But it just means I have lots of aprons that I don’t wear much. I guess I need to get messier, huh!
3. What’s going on for you this weekend?
I’m working, spending time with Scott and Skylar, trying to plan her birthday party, and I will be enjoy this weather.
Mid 70s and sunny with a breeze that’s just enough to make the tall palms sway.
Enjoy your weekend!
Nice blog makeover Averie. Loving the switch over to wordpress. You are gonna love it.
So glad you reposted the chocolate snowballs, I was only thinking about making them the other day and thought about trying to find them from your huge list of recipes. Thanks for the reminder.
I have a gazillion aprons myself and only tend to wear them when I am cooking with good clothes on. The other times I find food covers me anyway, especially now I have a belly in the way.
Oh and I am the MESSIEST cook ever. We have a rule in our house, if you cook, you clean as it’s unfair on the ‘un’ messy cook if they have to clean up after the messy cook. But I do clean up ok ;)
Very cool, I have that same apron from the Foodbuzz blogger fest tasting pavilion. Hehe, love the running outfit, not quite short weather here. I never put them on either which I should because I always stain tops when I get going in the kitchen like a mad women.
1. Nope, I need to and have that one hanging right in my pantry where I always have to look at it. :-P
2. Depends, totally messy when I get going experimenting and creating recipes and neat when I’m following recipes or throwing together simple dishes.
3. Relaxing, running and a basketball game for starter.
I don’t wear aprons either and actually, I stop to do dishes and clean while I cook, too! I just feel so much better and more relaxed in a semi-clean kitchen, ha!
This weekend, I’m going home to my parent’s house they are having a party so that should be fun. Also going to catch up on some work and hot power yoga tomorrow morning and probably the farmer’s market and whole foods – sounds like it’s shaping up to be a good weekend to me :D!
I absolutely love what you’ve done with the site!! It’s gorgeous, and giiiiiiirl so are you! Slash that puppy chow looks absolutely delicious, send me a jar?!
Hello Averie,
Great article, I LOVE APRONS! Congratulations on writing this, and by the way, great good-looking cookies!
Now to answer your questions… :
1. Do you wear aprons?
Yes, I use them because I like them very much.
2. Do you consider yourself a messy, neat, or in the middle, type of cook.
Well… I sure am mess, who isn’t? But I always tidy up after, haha, so I am a middle cook let’s say.
3. What’s going on for you this weekend?
I’m going to surf, snowboarding and have fun with my friends.
Best regards,
Maria
I am a neat freak, but tend ot make a mess when I am cooking. I should invest in an apron!
Those are the cutest aprons ever!!! And those snacks look great.
I love the new blog design! It did change right?
sure did! unveiled on Monday!
Cute apron. I usually wear an apron when I cook that way I can use it as an extra place to wipe my hands when I can’t find a towel ;)
I dont wear aprons, though I generally wear a messy (who cares if I stain it) kind of outfit.
I am an in-the-middle messy kind of cook, though I am getting neater and more organized as the year pass.
This weekend, like most weekends, will find me cooking lunches and dinners for the family for the week ahead.
I actually really like to wear an apron, so you can throw your unwanted aprons my way ;-)
Donning an apron is like putting on my little uniform. It gets me into that mental space to cook and create. And try as I might, I am a bit messy, even though I clean as I go. Let’s blame that on my tiny kitchen, shall we? ;-)
I got the same apron and coupon from Alexia! It’s awesome :)
I’ve never had Puppy Chow? It looks delish, though!
you HAVE to make it.
Chocolate and Butter and Powdered Sugar cannot be wrong :)
I NEED an apron; I’m such a MESSY cook! Those flirty ones are so cute. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks so I hope my roommates will pick up on the hints I’m dropping!
I’m going to a rugby clinic tomorrow!! I’m so excited to kick off the spring (?) season by learning some new badass skillz.
Just wanted to swing by and saw hello. The apron pic is super cute! And I foresee Dark Chocolate Coconut Snowballs in my very near future :-)
No aprons for me! I make a mess in the kitchen…and love it when I clean up as I go (but it doesn’t always happen).
This weekend I’m working like crazy till Sat afternoon, and then having my 7 year-old nephew overnight — so we’ll go sledding and maybe to a movie. He’s the best date ever!
Have a great weekend.
I’m a *ridculously* messy cook. My clothes are so dirty after a good baking session..so having one of those aprons would be awesome Especially ones so cute!
I LOVE aprons- I collect them! I just took a picture of myself wearing my favorite to put on my blog tonight :)
