Dry erase ceramic ribbons. Completely genius. I love the idea of celebrating the grand as well as the mundane with the swipe of a marker! (via Have & Hold Design)

Less clothing and more skin are just around the corner, but every good thing deserves a proper send-off, won’t you agree? So we do so with the ultimate comfort food: mac and cheese. Dress it up or dress it down, it’s versatile and indulgent no matter what. Here are fifteen different versions for proper research. Click on the image to go to the recipe source.

First off, if the name – Lazy Linda – doesn’t at least make you crack a smile you’re dead inside. Second, I know they’re designed with the kitchen in mind but I’d love to put a white one in my studio to help organize my ridiculous amount of art supplies. In other words, a really well-designed organizational product.

I have yet to find the perfect way to display my cookbooks, but these days I’m daydreaming about the SSB-1. Fancy name, yes? I love the clean lines and tilt and have just the counter space in mind.

Intricate geometric paper lampshades from Studio Snowpuppe are the perfect mix of modern meets old school technique. This one has my bedroom’s name (?) written all over it. (via hooray)

These bread spoons from Niels Datema are only a concept, but they have massive amounts of potential. Who doesn’t love fresh bread? I, for one, am a little too intimidated to try baking it myself. The idea behind these spoons might help with that, just fill each one with the ingredient it’s labeled after then knead. Kinda of brilliant, yes?

When I was a kid my mom used to make these “doughnuts” every so often, and they’ve always been something special to me. This batch didn’t turn out to be the prettiest things, but looks aren’t everything right? The biscuits could have been colder and the butter a little cooler and I probably could have tried harder to remember to spray the cookie sheet down to avoid stickage. The jelly “filling” is really versatile, too. I used black raspberry this time, but you could also use some sort of fruit compote. One day I’d love to venture into the world of from scratch biscuits, too.
Cinnamon Sugar Jelly Biscuit Doughnuts
• 1 can small refrigerator biscuits (or jumbo if that’s how you roll)
• 1/2 stick butter
• 3/4 C granulated sugar
• 1 rounded Tbsp cinnamon
• your favorite jam or jelly
Preheat oven according to biscuit label. Melt the butter in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon. Coat each biscuit thoroughly in melted butter then dredge in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Don’t skimp! Spray your cookie sheet down with cooking spray and place biscuits evenly. Using the back of a spoon, make a divot in the middle of each doughnut and place a small amount of jelly filling inside. (Don’t worry, it will melt and run over. No need to freak out.) Bake according to biscuit directions. Once done let doughnuts cool slightly and devour.
