How to… Do things.
I like to show you how to do things… like how to make buttermilk if you’re fresh out.
I also like to give you things.
This post will combine these two wonders.
At the top of the page you’ll notice a new page header called November Giveaway. That’s the page you should be glued to every single day this month. That’s the page that will change every day with all sorts of prizes and such. Visit. Often.
Now! Let me show you how I show you how to make things.
Ps. I’m glad you’re here.
Buying cake flour just seems so silly. I think you should totally just make your own.
I’m in love with my cast iron skillet. Food maker meets murder weapon. Do you have one of these? Here’s how to season it!
How to make the good stuff: brown sugar.
How to make warm dough with mustard and put it in your face. How to make soft pretzels.
How to frost a freakin’ cake. You should add this talent to the list of awesome things that you can do.
Speaking of cake. I want this Honey Whole Wheat Pound Cake, right now.

Thanks for posting the giveaway page! You’re the best.
I’m glad i’m here too :)
I need all the cake-frosting help I can get!
I heart my cast iron skillet!!
I also heart your recaps :)
You make everything seem EASY to accomplish—-love your photos too!
Your blog is an inspiration!!! Thank YOU!
I love all of the things that you’ve showed us how to do, because every time I make something that you’ve posted here, I’m declared “the world’s best cooker” by my children and a “horrible, evil, most amazing baker ever for bringing that awesomeness into the office” by my coworkers. I can’t wait to hear what epithets are hurled at me for delivering little jars of vanilla extract goodness to my family and friends for Christmas – so thanks for being fabulous! :)
Your ideas are totally helpful, how to make buttermilk saved my day!

Wow, is that a cranberry harvest in your banner? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one outside of Ocean Spray commercials, so it’s like they only exist in TVs…and now your banner.
Thanks for the handy post!
Thanks to you I frosted my very first cake nearly a year ago now :) Indeed one of the skills anyone should have, especially if the cake has a delicious butterscotch filling… haha
