I’m snowed in today. I’ve always loved snow days. The world slows down a bit, gets quiet. Snow days always mean baking for me. A few days ago, I mentioned on twitter I wasn’t sure what to bake ...
You’re probably sick and tired of sugar, aren’t you? The last thing you want to think about is something sweet. All those christmas cookies, puddings, pumpkin pies. But I’m going to ask you to give t...
Back in October, I took a trip to a pumpkin patch. It was such a beautiful day, the leaves were still gorgeously vibrant, some of them even still green. I wanted to tell you all about it right away, ...
I’ve found myself in the middle of my favorite season, with very little baking to show for it. Instead of spending time in the kitchen, I’ve been out, living this fall to it’s fullest and spending lo...
It seems I’m a wee bit smitten with tomatoes. For years, I couldn’t stand them. I’d pick them out of salads, pull them off pizzas, avoid them at all costs. Then one day I gave them another try and I ...
A couple of days ago, I was driving down the road and I screeched. Loudly. I scared everyone riding with me, but I couldn’t help myself. There, right off the road was a tree, bright orange. It was su...
About a month ago, I was sent the cookbook Home Made by Yvette Van Boven and I’m kinda in love with it. It’s a tome dedicated to all things homemade, and when I say tome, I’m not kidding - it’s...
I can’t believe autumn is almost here. I’ve spent most of the summer busy as a bee, a little travel, a few exciting photo jobs, a new puppy, (who is currently snoozing at my feet as I type this) with...
As you’ve probably noticed, Terrain is one of my very favorite places on the web. For a long time now, I’ve dreamed about visiting their store in Glen Mills, PA, and earlier this week, that dream cam...

Down the winding gravel road that leads to my home there’s a large spray of wild blackberry bushes. They are brambly things, completely overgrown, not taken care of by anyone in particular, free for ...
Today is a fantastic day. Do you know why? It’s a Pie Party! A few food bloggers were chatting on twitter and somehow this happened. Pretty awesome, right?I love pie, but I only make it a couple of t...
While I was in Atlanta for Blogher Food, Elissa, Lauren, Tessa, Kamran and I ate at the restaurant Yeah! Burger. Twice. Needless to say, it’s pretty dang good. They have hands down, the best turkey b...
Every year, around this time, I’m reminded of how much I adore cherries. I forget about them during the long winter, those days when fresh fruit is scarce. Then, as soon as I see them in the grocery ...
This past weekend I attended (and spoke at) the Blogher food conference. I wish I had a great, in depth rundown for you, but I find myself still processing it. It was fantastic to finally meet my fri...

He is risen!
Pudding is becoming one of my very favorite things to make. I like that it’s a slow process, if you’re doing right. It’s mindful cooking, not a 5 minute meal on your way out the door. It requires att...
I’ve been using the internet for a long time now. Probably since I was around 10 years old, when my dad helped me sign up for my first email account. That day, my parents warned me of the dangers of ...
A couple of months ago, Kim from Rustic Garden Bistro offered to send me some meyer lemons, freshly picked from her backyard tree. Having never tasted the revered fruit, I quickly accepted her gracio...
The situation in Japan has been absolutely breaking my heart. Each day I see new photos showing the devastation there, and I just want to sit down and cry, it makes you feel so helpless and small. I ...
Last Christmas, I was given the Gourmet Cookie Book as a gift, but I hadn’t made anything out of it until now.This book is awesome, filled with recipes from 1941 up to when the magazine shut down in ...
I still remember the first time I smelled brown butter. It was 2 years ago, when I made these brown butter toffee blondies. I just couldn’t believe butter could smell like that. So nutty, so differen...
I’ve been craving doughnuts lately. Not the glazed kind, I’m not the biggest fan of those, but rather ones covered in cinnamon sugar. Those are my favorite.This recipe is from Lara Ferroni’s cookbook...
I don’t really have anything against Valentines Day. I like red & pinks hearts, I like chocolate, I like flowers (but not roses. I think they’re ugly). But none of those things mean love to me.Yo...
