Pear and Cranberry Crumble

November 20, 2011

Here’s the thing about a trip to the Emergency Room. In most cases, what you wear stumbling into the ER is what you wear walking out of the ER. So… what you’re able to throw on as you’re stumbling around your bedroom, trembling like a maniac, halfway doubled over in pain, just trying so so [...]

Pumpkin, Millet, and Chocolate Muffins

October 30, 2011

Apparently we’re quickly approaching November. Wait… what!? In the blink of an eye we’ll be eating turkey for Thanksgiving, wrapping holiday gifts, and kissing at midnight… that’s how fast this year is going! What are we going to do about this? Is there some sort of pause button. The only thing I can think do [...]

Cranberry Sauce and a Thanksgiving Explosion

November 23, 2010

Beauty! Look at these cranberry gems! I’m turning them into cranberry sauce. Super easy. Are you doing this too? You’ll probably be cranking food out of your kitchen all weekend. Need a few more ideas? I’ve got everything! Everything but the turkey, stuffing, and cornbread… Yea, I know. But I have everything else!

Pumpkin Pie Spice

November 19, 2010

You’re probably going to be loading up your cart at the grocery store with all kinds of Thanksgiving things this weekend. Can you do me a big favor? Don’t buy that stupid little jar labeled Pumpkin Pie Spice. It’s annoying. It’ll only get lost in the back of your spice cabinet until three years from [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

A November Reminder

November 4, 2010

Starbucks switched their paper cups to their festive holiday cups. That can only mean one thing: it’s time for Dad’s Sweet Potato Pie with Easy No-Roll Pie Crust. Two random notes: ps. Pumpkin Spice Lattes are weeeeird. pps. I like coffee that tastes like coffee, not pie.

Curried Sweet Potato Soup with Goat Cheese Biscuits

October 26, 2010

Soup is my favorite thing to make. If I could have been a professional soup maker instead of a professional baker… this blog would have been called something.. well, you know. I love making soup. I just stand in front of the stove and stir. And stir. And stir. And completely space out. Stir again. [...]

Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts with maple glaze

October 14, 2010

I didn’t know Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts existed before I thought them up and went running to my kitchen. Turns out they do exist… and they existed all over my kitchen counter before they stopped existing because I ate them all. Ok. Not true. I didn’t eat them aalllll. I shared… but I really didn’t [...]

Chewy Ginger Chocolate Cookies

October 4, 2010

Say… hypothetically speaking… you have six dollars in your wallet and very close to zero dollars in your bank account and you need to make something for lunchdinner. Also… you have a very daunting blank Word document in front of you that you’re supposed to fill with words and pictures and recipes and more words. [...]

Dad’s Perfect Sweet Potato Pie

November 20, 2009

I have a relationship with this pie. That’s normal, right? The smell of this pie takes me back to the days six year old me would run screaming through our lime green, hallway shaped kitchen in anticipation of pie and ice cream and the imminent holiday festivities such a dessert suggested. My Dad has been [...]

My Favorite Fall Recipes

November 8, 2009

Autumn is settling in. Autumn has settled in, and here I am ready to accept it. I’m also ready to accept the fact that my days in the kitchen are about to dramatically increase (if you can believe that) as my cravings for apple crisp (lovelovelovelovelovelovelove), pumpkin cookies and cranberry treats become harder to [...]

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 [...]

Spiced Apple Cake

October 12, 2009

I sometimes wish that my future self could just pop into my present world just to… you know… say hi, and let me know that everything in the future is going along just swimmingly. That never happens, but maybe I just haven’t given future me enough guidance. With this in mind… here’s a quick letter [...]

Hey Hey Holiday!

November 26, 2008

I know I promised you apple pie… apple pie so good that it will make your heart explode. It looks like we’re going to have to wait just a bit longer for that epic post. I’ve totally been swept away in Thanksgiving madness. I know I can’t be the only one. I’ve got mad baking [...]

All Purpose Holiday Cake

November 3, 2008

It’s November, and that means that we’ve undeniably entered the holiday season. In my world that means lots of family, lot of parties and eating a ridiculous, almost painful amount of food. Cocktail parties. Tacky Christmas sweater parties. Surprise guests and…. my oh my… is it too early to be this excited? Despite all of [...]
