When our daughter lay in the ICU on her second day of being alive in the world, we stood above her bed and asked her to breathe. Her small hands were strapped to the bed because she was already so st...
I made three batches of shortbread yesterday. Yes, Im a little nuts. Its the last day of posting holiday cookie recipes around here. After jam tarts, gingerbread men, coconut sugar cookies, cannolis,...
Mexican wedding cookies. Of all the requests people had for gluten-free holiday cookies, I think this was the most requested. Finely ground nuts, butter and shortening, gluten-free flours, and powder...
"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." Im tempted to write only this. After all, its the only phrase I hear in my head when someone says cannoli. Probably you too. (And if you dont know what it...
We are coming into the home stretch of holiday cookies and goodies around here. I dont want to think about how many pounds of butter, flours, and sugar have been used in this kitchen the past month. ...
This is a cake pop. Its a cake pop made by my wonderfully talented and lovely friends Jessie (also known as Cakespy) and Megan (also known as Not Martha).If you are lucky enough to know people who wa...
We cant seem to stop buying new cookbooks. I mean, after that list of our favorite 12 of 2010, we should be done for a bit. There are plenty of meals to be made in that towering stack. However, the l...
I spent about 15 minutes this morning fretting that this photograph wasnt good enough. Its messy. You cant see the ooze on the cookies. The top cracked — I ran out of AP flour before I needed 46 gram...
All of Prousts remembrances began with one bite of a madeleines. I have a confession. I still havent read all of Prousts books. Try as I might, several times, I could never make it past the first 60 ...
(Holiday candy provided by Indie Candy, which makes allergen-free, delicious candies. I still havent eaten the chocolate Santa, and Lus getting the snowflake lollipop for a special treat, in a few we...
These cookies may not look like much, but they are really quite wonderful. They are also gone. Danny and Lu nibbled them during an afternoon snack, after my photo session, as they lay on our bed toge...
When Danny and I tried to decide all the cookies we would bake for the cookie-baking extravaganza here, we pulled down all our baking books and cookbooks with baked goods. We ran our fingers down the...
Okay, Im going to call an audible here. (Is that a football term? I sort of have this vague feeling that it is, but I dont want to google it and spend any time looking at football terms. I have to ad...
we had intended to bring you a recipe for cranberry-pistachio cookies today. However, we are sitting in a hotel room in Longview, Washington as I type this. We had two wonderful days in Portland, tea...
As you have probably guessed, I have been baking cookies and more cookies for weeks. Nuts and flours spill on the counter. Lu is frequently reaching for a piece of dried fruit or a chocolate chip. We...
“Hey sweetie, do you want to read books?” Lu bounces across the room, almost skipping. Her eyes grow wide and she shouts, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” We go over to the mound of books that are always spilling fr...
I still miss Gourmet. I know that it has been gone for more than a year, and Im supposed to have moved on by now. And frankly, its not as if I had time to read every article those last couple of year...
Lets bake, shall we? Its December 2nd. Most of you have probably gathered your recipe cards around you to take notes and make substitutions, pulled out the butter to soften on the kitchen counter, an...
They say that print is dying. Great magazines have left us (I still miss Gourmet) for lack of subscriptions and monetary interest. Newspaper presses are stopping in one city after another. Yesterday,...
Well, with our trip to Colorado, a two-day power outage covering the entire island, and Thanksgiving, it took me longer to choose these winners, using Random.org, than I had hoped. But here they are!...
Yesterday afternoon, Danny and I huddled on the couch, trying to keep Lu under a blanket. Do you have any idea how much this kid loves to run and jump, dance and spin? Keeping her under that red flee...
Lately, Lu and I have been eating sweet potatoes nearly every evening. Thick slices, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, a bit of fresh thyme, roasted in the oven until they yield to the fork bu...
Thank you to everyone who contributed such delicious recipes for our gluten-free Thanksgiving challenge. My goodness, people! Not only did the original bloggers who posted about their own gluten-free...
I probably dont need to tell you just how soon Thanksgiving is, right? Every time this year I see people coming to this site through urgent questions. "how do I make gluten-free stuffing? Is the...
gluten-free potluck in San Francisco, early October In less than 48 hours, we will be on an airplane to Denver. Lu has been walking around the house saying "Airplane! Airplane!" Danny has b...
Im a little obsessed with this brussels sprouts salad. Does that make me weird? You dont have to say it. I know Im weird. Im weird enough that I just had to ask on Twitter: Brussels sprouts? brussels...
I wish that I had the time and energy to tell you all that has been happening around here lately. Some of it — so exciting! — I cant tell you yet anyway. The rest of the links, dates, and stories I w...
This week, in our kitchen, it has been Thanksgiving. In the past few days, we roasted a turkey breast, made cranberry chutney, figured out to make great mashed potatoes without any dairy, conquered a...
Driving home the other day, I wanted to pull over by the side of the road, on every curve, to take photographs. The sun shone through yellow leaves hanging down from an old tree, like a bright splash...
