Double Dipped Apple Doughnuts

November 13, 2011

Given the choice between being home and not being home… I’m the girl that always chooses home. Brooklyn is amazing.  San Francisco is delicious.  Baltimore is bonkers.  Home is my heart.  Home is where I keep my jar of Sharpie markers, my clean white sheets with the familiar smell, and my giant mankitten. Home is [...]

Super Simple Roasted Apples

October 27, 2011

Under no circumstances do I want you to come to this blog, read it, and leave with the sense that I have my act together.  I don’t have my act together.  If it looks for a moment like I have my act together… I’m just barely holding on.  Hear these words. I was reading a [...]

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 [...]

Homemade Churros with warm dark chocolate sauce

June 10, 2011

Once upon a time, as a young youth with frizzy hair and giant teeth, I went to Disneyland with my family. We went on rides.  I saw Michael Jackson as Captain EO, and tried to replicate his dance moves for the rest of the day.  We got popcorn, I secretly made faces at other children [...]

Cashew Oat Milk with cinnamon and agave

March 5, 2011

Milk from nuts! Milk from oats!  Milk with cinnamon.  Milk with sugar.   Homemade Cashew Oat Milk is my new favorite… oh-my-goodness-I’m-totally-obsessed… thing. Raw cashews are soaked, rinsed and blended with ground oats, fresh ground cinnamon, agave, and filtered water.  The result is a surprisingly creamy, slightly sweet, dairy-free drink. It’s delicious is coffee.  I [...]

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies

December 20, 2010

I know everything is supposed to be  red and green and blue and white this time of year. I know… But look for brown and delicious I made everything? Ok… I’m being weird.  Mostly because I, for some reason, can’t bring myself to make Christmas tree sugar cookies.  I just don’t want to do it. [...]

Cinnamon: The Greatest Hits

October 8, 2010

Cinnamon.  It’s a constant in my cupboard. Cinnamon is that spice that instantly makes baked goods feel extra warm and extra comforting. The smell from the oven?  Pretty much perfect. It feels like Autumn is trying to sneak up on us.  Cinnamon just makes sense these days.  Let me show you some things I’ve shown [...]

Apple Walnut Flax Seed Bread

March 25, 2010

I made y’all some bread. Some big, fat, in your face, whole wheat apple bread.  It’s the kind of bread that will kick your morning coffee in the face… with love and respect. I like to do things with love and respect… even if it’s yelling at the Los Angeles traffic gods… or channeling my [...]

Cinnamon Sugar Biscotti

January 10, 2010

So….. what do you do when you forget to call your grandmother on her 80th birthday? Well… obviously you yell at your little sister who remembered to call your grandmother on her 80th birthday, and didn’t remind you to call your grandmother on her 80th birthday.  Some nerve. See… forgetting to call your grandmother on [...]

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

April 17, 2009

Dear Future Husband and Future Children, While it’s clear that the universe hasn’t yet pressed us together into a family mold, I think it prudent to get a few things about our life out in the open.  You know, for the sake of transparency. Future Husband!  In all likelihood, I think you’re the coolest guy [...]

Vanilla Brown Sugar Breakfast Polenta

February 23, 2009

I don’t do dishes in the morning.  Dishes are no way to start the day. While I am all about a big, fat, kitchen wrecking breakfast- morning clean up is absolutely nowhere in my early day itinerary. The reality is, I may not get to have that perfect, sunny morning weekend wake up experience everday. [...]
