Spiced Almond Steamer

January 21, 2012

Not everything requires a bowl, a mixer, whisk, and measuring spoons. Sometimes the most delicious comforts come out of milk, spice, and heat. I’ve been keeping it pretty simple in the kitchen lately.  You know… trying to treat my body right, and such.  I’m also trying to stay far far away from the Winter cold [...]

Lemon Almond Meringues

August 8, 2011

Dear The French Laundry, How did a humble baker girl like me end up at a fine establishment such as yours?  Seriously.  Breathtaking.  How did this happen? Ok… truth be told, my friend Tracy extended a last minute invite, I basically ran to my car in my slippers, a dress on a hanger flying behind [...]

January 14, 2011

I’ve been workin my way back to you, babe. With a burning love inside. Hey I’m workin my way back to you, babe. And the happiness that died. I have that song in my head. Maybe that means I’ll want brownies and cookies again sometime soon. Maybe I’m working my way back to my sweet tooth. [...]

Homemade Almond Joy

October 25, 2010

I tried on about thirty different pairs of skinny jeans last week.  It wasn’t cute.  This trend is not ok with me. I have thighs.  They rub together a little. These candies might be why.

March 30, 2009

Please allow me this bright and promising Monday morning to keep it one hundred percent real with you.  While this gluten free cake was buttery, nutty, bright with the flavor of lemon and perfectly sweet, the truth is, it ended up all over my floor.  Well… ok, bits on the floor, chunks on the counter, [...]

Down to my last Egg

July 6, 2008

What do you do when you’re down to your last egg?  Either cry about it or make Chocolate Pudding with Almond Whipped Cream.  In my case, I did both. I know this is only a food blog, but I’m sure you all won’t mind if I get something off my chest.  I’m sad.  I’m puffy [...]

Raspberry Almond Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache

May 19, 2008

Kids between the ages of 3 and 7 are pretty amazing.  They’re little screaming, snotting, jumping, and crashing balls of honesty.  If they don’t like you, you know it.  If they recognize you for the poopoo head that you are, they’re not afraid to tell you- to your face, in ear piercing tones.  They haven’t [...]

Lemon Scented Olive Oil Cookies with Almond Glaze

May 15, 2008

I’ll admit, I think olive oil is sexy.  Extra Virgin Olive Oil especially, sends me over the moon.  The rich, full and nutty smell, the beautiful translucent green color, and the way the taste coats my mouth.  It’s just gorgeous.  I’ve been known to buy a fresh baguette on the way home from work and [...]

Cranberry Orange Almond Oatmeal

April 16, 2008

I’m a huge breakfast fanatic.  I usually go for something hearty, healthy and full of surprise goodies.  That’s not to say that I don’t sometimes reach for a donut and some coffee, but this go around I opted for old-fashioned oatmeal with the gorgeous flavors of cranberry, orange and almond.  I threw in a bit [...]
