I’m taking part in #BreakingBread with this month’s bread, focaccia (thus the slightly earlier post)! Take a gander over at Cake Duchess’s blog for all the yummy focaccias baked thi...
In case you haven’t had enough pancakes in your life lately, I’m here with another yummy recipe for ‘em. When the husband and I have no plans for dinner, or we’re just plain l...
Time for another tale of “How Things Didn’t Go As Planned.” Gather ’round! Truth: This toasted coconut monkey bread totally didn’t turn out how I intended. I was imagini...
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s nearly summertime. Memorial Day weekend is NEXT weekend, people! And you know what that means — the potluck/party/cookout season is upon us. For a ...
Some people would like to be paid in money (duh). Some, in candy, or fancy cars. Me? I’d like to be paid in pancakes. Specifically, these pancakes. And then, after a while, I’d want to be...
Ever get that feeling when dinner is slowly creeping up on you and you have no idea what to make and you’re about to just serve your arm for dinner and BAM! inspiration slaps you (gently and ni...
Greetings, ladies and gentlefolk, and a very happy midweek to you all! There’s so much to be excited about! It’s two days until Friday, spring has sprung, times are a-changin’ up in...
Hello, my fellow Meatless Monday-ers! Sorry for the belated post (last week got a little ca-razy), but I’m back again with another post for you! Actually, I lied. I’m not back here with a...
I’ve been feeling a little… uninspired lately. I hate to admit this because I’ve always been one who wants to put forth her very best, in all circumstances — whether at my job...
I’ve got wanderlust. And I’ve got it bad. I want to go to a place where the sun shines every single day. I want to go to a place with ancient ruins and mile-long farmers markets. I want t...
There’s no need to get fancy on Meatless Monday (unless you want to, of course). Sometimes, all it takes are a few meat-free ingredients to toss together a tasty meal. I happened upon the winni...
YOU GUYS. I did it. I really did it. For the past few weeks I’d been devising a secret plan to figure out how to stuff a sandwich into a pretzel, or how to make a pretzel-covered corn dog, or h...
Black beans. Sweet potatoes. Chili. These are a few of my favorite things. Truth be told, we haven’t eaten this dish in a long time (the photo above was taken by the husband a few months ago) t...
I’ve been doing a lotta lookin’ lately. Looking outward at the beautiful things around me and not taking for granted this blessed life I lead, even when I can’t do math or things do...
My family came to visit this past weekend for the Easter holiday, and I knew just what to make for dinner Friday night that was easy, filling and above all, meat-free: Enchiladas. This recipe for bla...
Let’s make some lists. I love lists. You probably do, too. So let’s list it up. Things I’m good at doing: 1. Making brownies while watching “Mad Men” and not missing a m...
Homemade pizza = Simple. Easy. Delicious. It’s nothing fancy, but a homemade pizza topped with fresh, meat-free ingredients is all you need for a tasty Meatless Monday dinner — and that...
Let’s have a heart-to-heart. When the going gets tough, I eat a lot of chocolate. Specifically, brownies. Specifically, frozen brownies with peanut butter on top. Maybe with some ice cream on t...
I’m coming at you with a new series, friends! It’s called “Meatless Monday” (original, I know). Every week, I plan to post a quick and easy, real-life meatless recipe Elliott ...
When it comes to pizza crust, this gal doesn’t mess around. I’ve been around the block, if you will, when it comes to homemade pizza crusts. So when I find a new pizza crust recipe, it be...
My bestie Ashley (yes, I say “bestie” in real life. These are things I do. Don’t judge.) tweeted a link to a post today about calling out all the awesomeness in life. At first, I th...
Happy SPRRRRRRRRING, everyone! OK, I know I’m jumping the gun by a couple of weeks, but these last two days of warmer (albeit blustery) weather have me all giddy and looking even more forward t...
I recognize that it is a gift. For someone who has her own plethora of food allergies — including bananas, ironically — I know what it’s like to be restricted in what is edible to m...
It’s official. My case of cabin fever has moved beyond the stage of being curable — at least, that is, by anything other than time. No amount of willpower, movie watching, exercising, mus...
I have a running theory that if I was a superhero (or, more aptly, a superheroine), my Kryptonite would be homemade granola. I’d be able to climb tall buildings effortlessly, travel for miles i...
I’m looking outside my window at the dense fog and winter chill clinging to bony tree branches and wishing I could see sunshine and palm trees instead. I’m sitting here surrounded by a pi...
Were I a professional baker, I probably wouldn’t end up with flat, under-risen loaves of bread on a near-regular basis. I probably wouldn’t have nightmares in my sleep of covering my enti...
This has been one horrible, no good, very bad week so far. I know this isn’t why you came here. You came here for doughnuts, not to hear about how my car’s windshield wipers stopped worki...
There are a few things I can’t get enough of: Mini pigs, paintings by Van Gogh, brownies with ice cream, intriguing and nail-bitingly dramatic episodes of “Mad Men” (and perhaps mor...
Let it be said that this time of year, the most wonderful time of the year, is meant for caroling and baking cookies and decorating trees and putting up lights and skating on lakes and wrapping our h...
