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 [...]

Apple and Pomegranate Brussels Sprout Salad

November 2, 2011

Note: It’s past midnight… and I’ve lost my mind raiding my chocolate drawer. Second Note: I have a chocolate drawer… it’s an occupational perk and hazard. Third Note: I used to have a chocolate drawer. Just wrappers now. Fourth Note: Why does Kim Kardashian insist on making such a joke of her life? It must [...]

Buh-nana Bread(s)

September 6, 2011

Bananas should always be bread. It’s just what’s right. Like how grapes should always be wine… or jelly. I can’t handle eating a plain banana. I have to drown… completely drown it in peanut butter, or wrap it in white bread and drench it in honey. I just can’t handle it. I’ll tell you what [...]

Brown Butter Winter Citrus Pancakes

December 30, 2010

My goodness. This world has these seasons planned out just perfectly. Amidst super rain, chilly wind and grey skies, we get blood oranges, tangerines and grapefruit! Big, bright, cheek puckering citrus is perfect for winter breakfast. I know… it happened this morning. I’d also like to thank the good world for creating coffee and hot [...]

Vegan Peach Berry Crumbles

August 19, 2010

I’m not allowed to be vegan because: I sometimes carry a pound of butter around in my purse. I stir fry my tofu in bacon fat. I seriously consider grating cheese on my pillow before I go to bed at night. (ok… not really. that’s just weird.) I think heavy cream should be awarded its [...]

How To Make Apricot Crostatas

June 7, 2010

These are my Mom’s hands. They’re two parts lady lumber jack, one part awesome raiser of children, and three parts amazing gardener. That’s six parts total. Arbitrary… I know. I love Mom hands… they tend to have super knowledge. I taught my mamabear how to make Apricot Crostatas. Pie dough. Egg wash. Wait. Not so [...]

Big Berry Birthday Cake

April 3, 2010

I love birthdays. There’s cake. There’s fire. There are smiles and joy. Birthdays also allow for the possibility of fork candles. Pretty brilliant. Pretty genius. Pretty Fred and friends.

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 [...]

Cherry Bourbon Ice Cream

February 15, 2010

On the Lamb threw a Speakeasy last night… complete with Bathtub Gin and Juice, Pork and Wild Boar Sliders and Cherry Bourbon Ice Cream. There was bourbon and scoundrels as far as the eye could see. Before we get down and dirty with my new favorite ice cream flavor, here’s a peek at what setting [...]

Persimmon Pudding

October 18, 2009

Persimmon Pudding, from tree to table. Step One: Find a neighbor with a gorgeous, almost cartoon like persimmon tree. Ask your Mom to help you pick persimmons… Mom always likes to help. Step Two: Entice neighbor and Mamabear with the promise of fresh baked persimmon pudding if you’re granted access to their persimmon tree. Step [...]

Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas

July 1, 2009

Lovely friends… hi. Dear readers… hello. Let’s talk about keeping it classy. Hot dang! I try hard to keep it classy. Holy smokes… do I ever fail sometimes. Let’s discuss classy versus not classy, and what the heck chocolate dipped bananas have to do with anything. Classy: a tastefully short summer sundress. Not class: booty [...]

The One Year Rewind

June 29, 2009

Exactly one year ago I was rockin’ out with a mug of this stuff. I was also saying things like “totally tubular!” and “radical!”, wearing acid wash jeans, and hair-spraying my bangs into a tall wave across my forehead. Ooooh 2008. Banana Pudding Ice Cream. Rad, right?

Blackberry Pie Bars

June 18, 2009

I’ve been struggling for the past few hours with what to tell you in conjunction with these Blackberry Pie Bars. I thought maybe we could talk about how I’m still totally dragging my feet about going to my ten year high school reunion. No… that’s been done. Boring. Maybe we could talk about how I [...]

Mint Julep Two Ways

April 29, 2009

These bourbon laden treats were inspired by two things: those still spring, but almost summer days that give you a hint at just how blazing hot this summer is going to be, and… this weekend’s Kentucky Derby. Here’s what I know about Spring: It’s green. Once we get past the Easter Bunny stage, it’s all [...]

Low Fat Oatmeal Banana Bread

April 27, 2009

Not every morning in my life is filled with Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes and Chocolate Chocolate Chip Banana Bread… not when things like my ten year class reunion and bathing suit season loom just around the corner. For real friends, those are two scary things. At least I don’t have to go to my ten [...]

Warm Berries with Stove Top Dumplings

March 13, 2009

I’ve figured out that most things in life… well, they completely surprise me. As soon as I expect certainty, life has a way of galloping in with situations, opportunities and loves that I never could have imagined for myself. Despite all of life’s uncertainties, I’m convinced that some things are set in stone. Some things [...]

Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie

February 18, 2009

Pie takes time. Pie requires attentions. Pie demands love and care. Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art. I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could. The most delicious thing I could dream [...]

Pear Spice Cake with Walnut Praline Topping

December 29, 2008

Kid Table. Can we talk about the Kid Table? The Kid Table was something that I had to endure every holiday from the age of three to um…. present. You know what the Kid Table is, right? The integral family socialization tool. The foundation of society. The folding table and chairs circa 1943 that [...]

Glazed Lime Cake

December 17, 2008

This cake and I. Ooooh this cake and I. We had a fight, maybe I should call it a misunderstanding. I had expectations for this cake. I needed it to be a certain way to make me happy. Mistakes. I wanted this cake to be dense, but moist, perfectly golden, easy to cut and just [...]

Persimmon Bread

November 21, 2008

If my sister and I were produce instead of people, we’d be persimmons. Without a doubt… a couple of sibling persimmons- from the same tree but oooooooh so different. Let me explain. This will all make sense in a short bit. My little sister and I are two and a half years apart. That [...]
