Roasted Winter Citrus

January 29, 2012

I’m 87% sure there’s nothing you can do to ruin these perfect creations. Winter citrus is sparkling! If I could wear these citrus segments as earrings… I would. Let’s roast these beauties! I know. Weird. Weird… but totally incredible. Warm and salty sweet citrus bites.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Browned Butter Cranberry Lime Muffins

November 9, 2010

How to make and photograph Browned Butter Cranberry Lime Muffins: 1. Walk to the coffee shop around the corner for a small cup of coffee. Drink it. 2. Plug in your camera battery. 3. Look for your camera’s memory card. You can’t find it. Ok… no problem. Keep looking. Still can’t find it. Ooooookkk. [...]

Brunch Date

August 27, 2010

You know that feeling…. When you’re on a brunch date, you arrive at a restaurant, and the hostess tells you that the wait is going to be 20 minutes… And you think aloud to your date…’ok, great… let’s take a quick stroll around the block’… and you two take a quick stroll around the block. [...]

Potato Frittata

May 14, 2010

I went ahead and made you breakfast for this weekend. Except I ate it. All. It was delicious. So actually… if you could just go ahead and make your own breakfast… that would probably be best. Potatoes. I strongly suggest you get 4 big russet potatoes. Peel them clean. Rinse them off. Marvel at how [...]

Mama’s Day Brunch Menu

May 6, 2010

I love my Mama. The older I get… the more I love my mama. The farther away I get from being a bratty, insufferable and ungrateful teenager… the more I appreciate my mama. Phew… I didn’t make it easy on her. Can I make up for those obnoxious years with brunch? I’m [...]

Broiled Grapefruit with brown sugar and ginger

March 22, 2010

I’ve learned a handful of things the twenty eight years I’ve been in the world. Really just a handful of things… the rest I’m just making up as I go along. One of the things I’ve learned: serving someone a segmented grapefruit for breakfast has got to be one of the most loving things you [...]

Cheddar Black Pepper Biscuits

January 22, 2010

It’s Friday. I know you weren’t expecting this, but it’s time for a Pop Quiz. Don’t worry. If you’ve done the reading this should be easy… (I hated when teachers would say that to me). Pop Quiz 1) True or False: The joining of chocolate and coffee is like a cosmic combination of all that [...]

Eggnog (without Eggnog) Pancakes

December 16, 2009

Eggnog Pancakes with a slight hitch. Eggnog Pancakes without the Eggnog. You should know that I’m going to capitalize Eggnog in this here post. If that bothers you…. apologies. My Grandfather is the first person to pull a carton of grocery store branded Eggnog out of the refrigerator every year about this time. When I [...]

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

November 23, 2009

In the event of some sort of big fat natural disaster in California, I may be up a creek without a paddle. Sure, I’ve got the canned tuna, the emergency gallons of water and a few flashlights with dying batteries. I’ve got the walking shoes, a space blanket and pepper spray… you need those things, [...]

Browned Butter Blueberry Muffins

July 22, 2009

There are three things I want you to take away from this post. No foolin’ around… I’ll get straight to the point. One. You’ll want to stop by tomorrow if you think you might like to be one of those people that attends my (holy heck yes!) summer party. It’s in August. It’s for real. [...]

Strawberry Coffee Cake

May 31, 2009

Strawberries make me restless. It’s a fact. Yes, a strange fact, but no less true. See, in my part of the world, strawberries come along every year right around May. This is around the time when I’ve loooooong ago let slide any New Year’s resolutions I might have made for myself, when it’s possible that [...]

Raspberry and Jam Muffins

May 13, 2009

I woke up to an utterly dreamy California morning on Tuesday. The soft morning sun was just streaming through my bedroom window, the birds were singing good morning, and I knew that I had a whole basket of clean laundry for the week ahead. Pretty sweet morning, right? Sure… the only problem was that my [...]

Crustless Quiche with Spinach and Mushrooms

May 11, 2009

I’m not sure exactly how to say this, so I’m just going to go ahead and put it out there. For the first time in…. ever… I had fun at a baby shower. Real time, legitimate good times at a baby shower. I wasn’t even faking it, not even a little bit. I’m going [...]

Milk Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes

December 12, 2008

These are the four pictures that are going to make you seriously consider why you aren’t in your kitchen right this second making these pancakes. These are the four pictures that might just have you prioritizing the next few hours, the next few days, heck(!) your entire weekend around these pancakes. Yea… that just happened. [...]
