Smashed Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Pancakes

January 10, 2012

Some things I know to be true things for me: True:  Gin martinis are best, most immediately and with olives.  True:  sometimes painful sacrifices are made for fashion… especially when it comes to wedges.  True:  In my life, Hemingway and Julia Child are devoured in equal amounts.  True:  I will always eat a doughnut.  It [...]

Lemon Raspberry Breakfast Rolls

August 25, 2011

The dream house that I hold in my head is sunny and smells like banana bread.  It has a real-life adult couch and big, fluffy, matching, totally not hand-me-down bathroom towels.  The bookshelves aren’t dusty and my desk is huge and spotless.  There’s also a lovely woman that comes over everyday to help me clean [...]

Peach and Raspberry Crumble

June 22, 2011

  The smell of peaches reminds me of: dusty, dirty sneakers.  light coming through peach tree leaves.  shade.  drinking from the hose.  wet jean shorts.  caked mud.  my yellow Sony sport walkman.  that Counting Crows cassette tape i loved.  my sister’s freckled nose.  my dad’s hands.  my mom’s laugh.  sleeping in the sun in the [...]

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 [...]

Summer Sweet Raspberry Lemonade

When it comes time for a little human to call me Mom, there are several things I hope for.  Here are a few of those hopes: I hope that I’ll no longer run screaming from the room at the sight of a spider.  Mom has to take care of the spider… that’s sort of part [...]

Milk Chocolate Pudding with Cream and Raspberry Sauce

May 4, 2009

I was notorious in my family for being the child that could only be comforted by my mother. Most playful family weekends, the scene went something like this:  I’d be in the backyard playing with my little sister, my dad and Scamper, the family dog on our creaky, rusted and awesomely fun swing set.  My [...]

Cucumber Raspberry Vodka Sparklers

August 29, 2008

I went into this post practically kicking and screaming today.  Let’s be honest-  sometimes the words flow, other times it’s a task just to get myself to sit in the chair long enough to post a few words and photos. This whiny, kicking and screaming, can’t-even-stand-myself feeling seems to be a Labor Day holiday signature [...]

Raspberry Almond Bread

July 15, 2008

I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but- enough with the chocolate chip cookies! I will admit that for one brief moment, I thought about throwing a handful of chocolate chips into this darling quick bread. I slowly released my death grip from the chip bag, and thought better of it. This quick bread [...]

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 [...]
