Super Herb Butter

December 27, 2011

Yesterday was a day like any other day. I woke up thinking about doughnuts and chili fries. Ok… not really. I did, however, make my way to the kitchen, found an open box of cereal, and ate a giant handful of dry cereal with my eyes closed. Then I drank milk. I can’t tell you [...]

Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake

October 12, 2011

Now is not the time to be thinking about New Year’s Resolutions. Ignore the plastic Christmas trees at Costco… we still have time. We have months. The year is not over yet. We can totally take it easy. I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions. They’re totally unrealistic, right? I feel like my best intentions of [...]

Almost Vegan Zucchini Bread

October 2, 2011

If I could have made a U-turn on the freeway, I would have… that’s how much I didn’t want to go to this party. The sheer fact that I was forced to drive in a straight line at high speeds is why I made it to this party. Now… nothing was wrong with the party. [...]

Vegan Mango Banana Bread

July 13, 2011

Was it you who spent last Friday night with a bottle of white wine and a truly GIANT bowl of salty, sweet popcorn. Did you find yourself 4 hours into a Say Yes to the Dress marathon? Wait… did you cry a little bit? Was it you who glanced at the random pair of scissors [...]

Strawberry Balsamic Flatbread

June 8, 2011

Am I the only jerk that still orders a medium coffee at Starbucks? What am I supposed to say?… grande. When it comes down to order time, I always choke. I feel like I’ll sound like a complete tool ordering a grande… but now I realize that I sound more like a tool ordering a [...]

Brown Butter Banana Strawberry Bread

June 2, 2011

Can I tell you something about me? This has exactly nothing to do with bananas or butter or bread. Feel free to roll your eyes and skip ahead, if necessary. I used to be a worrier. Like… a professional worrier. I would worry like it was my job to worry, like I was getting paid [...]

Whole Wheat Garlic Knots

June 1, 2011

I turned lip liner into a pencil I use to write silly notes on my bathroom mirror. I turned an outdoor fire pit into an herb garden. I turned a toothbrush into a bike cleaner. I sometimes turn my desk into my bed… by simply falling asleep at it. I can turn my bathroom sink [...]

Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

March 7, 2011

I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair. I know that now [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Bread

February 11, 2011

Listen up dearhearts. I made banana bread with peanut butter in it. It’s a good idea and you should totally jump on this bandwagon. I like the word bandwagon. It makes me want to wear bellbottoms.

Whole Wheat Molasses Bread

January 7, 2011

I had some pictures taken this week…. the kind of pictures where I had to pretend to be an actress with glossy lips and curled hair. The kind of pictures where you have to look surprised and pleased and over the shoulder and don’t do that weird thing with your lips and open your eyes [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Pecan Everything Bread

November 12, 2010

I decided to make apple muffins…. then I thought cranberry bread would be a better idea. I wanted pumpkin pecan pancakes…. then I thought that plain old cinnamon toast would be the best idea ever. Instead… I just combined every possible holiday flavor into this vegan quick bread. I did that, and I’m glad I [...]

Ginger Persimmon Bread

November 2, 2010

Persimmons are like cartoon fruit. They’re so bulbous, sweet and juicy that… I dunno… I have a hard time believing that they’re a real life fruit. Every year around this time, my mom shoves giant bag of super ripe oozing persimmons in my hands and I’m left to figure out what to do with them. [...]

Whole Wheat Sunflower Seed Bread

October 20, 2010

I realize that I haven’t been the most reasonable person lately. I’ve been tempting you with Doughnut Muffins topped with glossy chocolate glaze. Those Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts were pretty absurd, right? And Buttermilk Onion Rings? Come on… it’s just too much. Maybe I’m trying to make up for something. Maybe what I don’t want [...]

How to Make Soft Pretzels

August 10, 2010

Dear Wednesday, I’m feelin’ the stress. I have a zit on my face I’m trying to pass off as a Cindy Crawford mole. I’m packing up my apartment again. Who stole all my spoons? All I’ve eaten is two burritos and a jar of pickles in the past three days. I’d like for someone to [...]

What to do with all that Buttermilk

April 7, 2010

If you’ve been around these parts long enough, you’ve probably noticed that I’m pretty fond of buttermilk. Buttermilk brings the tang, brings a tender texture… and is all around awesome in baking. But once you buy the carton for one recipe, what the heck are you supposed to do with the rest [...]

Parker House Rolls

February 24, 2010

Ok. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I have housewife tendencies. It’s true. Don’t judge me… that would be rude. I’ve tried to ignore these urges. I’ve tried to pass it off as a phase… but really? This can’t go on. I’m going to have to own my housewife tendencies. Now seems like [...]

Bread and Butter

February 3, 2010

Sometimes life feels like layers of complications. Like taxes and traffic and cavities and getting laid off are all piled high into one smelly sandwich that you’re supposed to eat for lunch. Really…? Worst sandwich ever. Do not want. Complicated. Yea. It happens to you. It happens to me. Luckily there’s… bread. And thank the [...]

My Top 10 Quick Bread Recipes

January 13, 2010

It would seem that you can throw just about anything into an 8×4-inch loaf pan and have some sweet smellin’ magic come out of your kitchen after an hour or so. What’s more, pulling a beautifully risen quick bread out of the oven is sure to make you feel like your a prime-time, super [...]

Honey Cranberry Cornmeal Quick Bread

December 21, 2009

I just stepped into my kitchen, turned on the light and was greeted by a massive amount of dirty dishes… not to mention a random stick of butter I left out this morning. I walked across the way to the dining room table to find all of the half addressed holiday cards I have yet [...]

Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Bread

November 6, 2009

I’ve got a guilty conscience. Here’s a little peek inside: Dear Coworker David, Tonight when you were detailing the twenty one shots you had for your twenty first birthday, I stopped listening at about shot number four… the Raging Bull I think you said. How do you remember all twenty one shots after twenty one [...]
