All I wanted on Sunday afternoon was a berry muffin. Given my past general indifference towards pastries, it’s safe to say that this is Eric’s child (who otherwise known to others as a sweets monger). I succumbed to the craving and got to baking on Sunday; I used this recipe (but added the zest and […]
It may be cliche, but once fall rolls around, I’m all about the apples. Apple pie? Sign me up. Apple crumble? Feed me. Applesauce? Mmm, just like my mom used to make (heated up!). At brunch this week, I ate the most delicious apple cake at Lula Cafe. It wasn’t enough to satisfy my taste […]
It doesn’t happen often, but when I get a sweets craving, it needs to be satisfied it immediately. On yesterday’s cold, dreary Sunday, the need for sugar hit me and only peanut butter rice krispie treats would do–with chocolate on top (just like my mom used to make for my classroom birthday treat).

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I’m not a baker. Although I think these cookies are delicious, I generally look at baking them as a tedious task. Eric has been living at the office lately and I wanted to lift his spirits a bit; nothing makes him happier than these salted chocolate […]
Homemade granola was a household staple growing up.

As I got older, […]
It may feel freezing but the harvest isn’t quite over yet–pumpkin is still to be enjoyed! My favorite foods at Thanksgiving are almost everything BUT the turkey, but it’s mainly because I’m a ‘sides’ girl. I’ll take green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and stuffing (my mom makes an incredible sausage and onion version) over the […]
I bought a huge carton of strawberries on Sunday (on sale, hence the huge container) and subsequently panicked. Strawberries turn quickly and I knew that if I didn’t use them soon, they’d go to waste. As soon as a entered “strawberry” into Google, the genius that is autofill took over and the rest is history. […]
I’m a total carb addict and have yet to meet a bread or pasta I didn’t like. I had some zucchini in the fridge and was originally going to use it in a quick pasta but was craving bread in a big way. So instead, I whipped up some moist and delicious zucchini bread. It’s surprisingly […]
