Ah, nothing beats a fresh summer salad to enjoy with friends and family! Mama Doser recently tripped it to DC and I couldn’t be happier to have spent a perfect weekend with her. With a handful of my friends wanting to see her as well, we thought it would be best to throw a nice…

I’m (hazel)nuts about you, Nocciolata
What could honestly be better than chocolate and peanut butter together? Well, probably a lot, I guess, if you’re allergic to peanut butter. Then, the combo would not be so great and also, your life would be really sad. Just saying. The new Nocciolata Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread is made with ingredients that are all farmed…
I hay to break it to you, but The Lafayette Oatmeal Soufflé at The Hay-Adams Hotel is exquisite
You all know how obsessed I am with oatmeal. I have my overnight oats with peanut butter, banana and cinnamon every morning as I begin my workday at Ketchum. On the weekends, I treat friends and family to my baked oatmeals, which have always been a favorite on Breakfastwithbex. As I sat and dined with…
Just a-peach-iating my last summer margarita
Summer? What summer! Man, time flies. Seems like I moved back to D.C. yesterday and yet I just had my three-month review as an account coordinator at Ketchum two days ago. Hard to believe how fast those three months of summer have gone, AND that some of those lovely D.C. rooftop bars will be shutting…
Jack of all Trades, Master of (the Sticky) Bun
There is no doubt that Mama Doser was definitely dubbed “Master of the Cinnamon Bun” by all family members, neighbors, and all her children’s sports teams. Every few weeks throughout my childhood, she would treat the family to a post-church batch of cinnamon buns for Sunday brunch. My brothers and I would really thank God for…
These macaroons will make you go (coco)nuts!
It’s funny because I have always loved the flavor of coconut but for quite sometime as a child, I never liked the texture of coconut flakes. It was kind of similar to my love for orange juice but the utter dislike of pulp. I could just never accept coconut flakes for who they were. Sorry, you little pieces of coconut greatness….
I’d like to propose a (Tiny) Toast to General Mills first new cereal in 15 years
Growing up, my brothers and I had cereal every single morning before school. My all-time faves were Honey Nut Cheerios and the cool Chex flavors including Cinnamon and Vanilla. Now, I always like jazzing up my parfaits with a flavorful crunch such as in my Pumpkin Spice and Apple Cinnamon Parfait with Cinnamon Chex. Chex were definitely a…
You’re a gran(d)-ola old bar, you’re a high-flying bar…
Fingers crossed that the weather man is right and it truly is heating up out there in time for Spring fest this weekend! The sun is shining and the fruity punches are being made, so what better way to enjoy some outdoor activities and music than with some easy and healthy snacks? Setton Farm’s new…
You can’t have none of my nutella, ella ella eh eh eh
Pretty hard to believe that I just got back from my last spring break ever and have less than two months left of senior year. You know what this calls for? A new type of baked oatmeal….duh. These baked oatmeals really got me through lent this year. With the absence of desserts/sweets, a delicious oatmeal…
I do not carrot all that I’m 22…I am still pumped for my Easter basket
My mom and I were talking on the phone last week when she asked me what exactly I wanted for Easter…did I still need that big chocolate Easter bunny or all those jelly beans? Nah, I’d prefer my all-time favorite Hershey’s Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Eggs. UGH, simply the best. And of course some dried…
Blueberries n’ Scones may make me big-boned but Lemon Curd will never hurt me…
I must start off by admitting that I thought this recipe was going to be a massive disaster. My roommate, Cristina, would definitely agree. As soon as I whipped together this recipe and attempted to lift the dough out of the bowl…I realized that it was way too sticky. I panicked, thinking that this recipe was just…
This will bake your mouth water….
I love when something or someone inspires me to make a new breakfast dish. My friend, Colleen McNamara, whom I just met this year through my good friend at SLU, Emma Garfield, is not only an avid Breakfastwithbex fan – making just about every dish I create – but is simply one of the cutest,…
