I’ve been experimenting with baking for a good two years now. It began with a desire for fresh, hearty bread, and while I’m far from mastering my baking techniques, I’m definitely hooked. This blog is a way for me to share my reflections (and photos) as I attempt to maintain a weekly baking schedule full of new recipes, different types of ingredients, and a few reliable standards thrown in for good measure.

weekly fix: apple of my eye edition

Thanks to the dastardly combination of being sans car and money, I’m sad to report that I missed apple picking this year. Bummer. Nevertheless, I can still enjoy peak apple season by eating the...

boozy desserts? the best of both worlds.

Earlier this week, my roommate and I made the arduous, block-long journey to join our friend at her apartment for an evening of food, wine, and some much-needed catching up. Seeing as our friend was...

Hard to believe that it’s been over a month since my last post, but, in my defense, the past few weeks have been busy with exciting milestones and delightful visits from friends and family. Oct...

changing seasons: a peek of autumn

Tonight will mark the official beginning of fall, and I couldn’t be more excited. The change of seasons is always my favorite part of the year, and I am ready for summer to slip into autumn (I ...

year three

Three years ago last Tuesday, I moved to Chicago. I had come here from Maryland to begin an MA program at the University of Chicago Divinity School, and was eager to be in a new place and to begin th...

weekly fix

It has been a busy week of helping my guy move, chugging away at marathon training, and cover letter revamping. This week’s inspiration has been another hodgepodge of random little things. Happ...

weekly fix

I regularly come across miscellaneous tidbits online that I find really inspiring — this ranges from recipes, articles, other blog posts, and more. Instead of merely bookmarking them in my brow...

my very first solo jam endeavor: success!

In addition to knowing where the food I’m buying is coming from and being able to support local farms, one of the things I love the most about getting my produce from farmers’ markets is ...

baking as consolation: peach crisp

When I realized my sourdough starter was a flop I decided to console myself by baking something sweet. I had a few peaches left from last weekend’s trip to Green City Market and thought I’...

sourdough (non)starter

Sigh. I’ve been tending to my starter for exactly one week now and I fear that it’s done for. The starter reacted a bit when I fed it yesterday (got a little frothy and bubbly), but this ...

sourdough starter — days 4 and 5

When I went to check on my little pet last night things looked a bit off. Not only did my starter not grow like I had expected it to, but it actually seemed to have decreased in volume. The mix had s...

sourdough starter — days two and three

Yesterday was day two of growing my starter and all seemed to be going well. The mix appeared a bit frothier — hoping that means those little yeasties are growing! day two! Day two involved mix...

sourdough starter – day one

Finally, finally, finally! Last night I began the process of developing a starter for sourdough bread. I’ve wanted to try my hand at using a starter and actually began one the summer I first st...

such a cheat

I have a confession. It was not too long after dinner the other night, and the craving for sweets hit. This is nothing new. In fact, now that I’m back in training again for another marathon, my...

old line state: some open-ended musings

Back in June, I went home to Maryland to pay a little visit with my family and friends. I hadn’t been back to the east coast since the holidays, and I was in serious need of some catching up. &...

years that ask questions and years that answer

It has been quite some time. The truth is, like my last post suggests, I seemed to have slipped into a bit of a rut this winter. Winter in Chicago is a long, dreary, dreadful crucible, and for the fi...

no-bake kind of mood

I’ve been in such a rut lately. And the worst part is I don’t even feel like baking. But the season is about to soon change, people I love are coming into town to visit, and new opportuni...

Yeah, I also caved in and bought conversation hearts….

Ah, Valentine’s Day. Some love it. Some love to hate it. For this girl, it’s really just an excuse to enjoy a decadent dessert, paired with a glass or two of wine. Well, let’s be re...

buns in the oven

(that title’s for you, dm) For about as long as I can remember, Christmas morning in the Mull household involves not just gifts and pajamas, but cinnamon rolls. I LOVE CINNAMON ROLLS. Eating li...

sea salt caramels

My favorite recipes are the ones that so obviously require sharing the finished product. I came across these caramels just before Christmas, a time of year that, for me, is best celebrated by the com...

My interest in baking began with a desire for fresh and hearty bread. You know the kind I’m talking about. Beautiful rustic loaves, with perfect crusts and a generous mix of grains to balance o...
