Are you ready to make your sweet and salty dreams come to life? All in one pie? With peanut butter and chips? The answer is a resounding YES, I can hear you yelling from here! We’re making a barely-baked, chilled refrigerator pie that’s the fluffiest sweetened peanut butter topped with lightly whipped cream and an…
Hello dear friend! This week’s Sunday post comes to you from Mexico City where I’ve consumed my weight in tacos, tequila, city beauty, and wedding love. I’m here for Ellen (our favorite apron lady) and Casey’s wedding and WOW, naturally it’s epic. This week has been a jumble of deadlines and travel prep and consciously…
It’s the best time of the year! Are you ready for it!? Time to cozy up in the kitchen, relish in the heat from our pre-heating oven, cream fats and sugars, peel apples, stir sugar into caramel, and have the good sense to layer it all together! We’re making the most decadent cheesecake today! You’ve…
Hi there! I’m just here to change your plans. I figured your dinner plans consisted of your kiddo’s Halloween candy, or the Halloween candy that’s leftover from tricker-or-treaters, or the Halloween candy that you bought on sale at the drug store this morning (HI THAT’S ME!), but I’m here to suggest an alternative. It’s pie. …
Hello dear friends! This week I’ve been thinking a lot about time and attention and just how precious those things are. I try to make the most of every day in work and tasks, sure… but the rest of my attention is so valuable and I’m always reevaluating where that resource goes. This week my…
Hello dear friends! It would be entirely reasonable for you to be thinking about Halloween, costumes, candy… the whole deal… but I’ve got my eyes on the prize (prize = homemade holiday gifts). I’m also not ashamed (ok, just lightly embarrassed) to admit that I’ve already got my Christmas decorations down from the attic (the…
I can feel bath season coming on. I can expect for my shower curtain to be untucked from my bathtub, I can expect to make a new batch of mustard bath soak every week, I can expect to likely drop my phone into the water before bath season is done. Bath season is also vegetable season…
Hello dear friends! Welcome to another fine day. Can we talk about astrology for a two to five sentences? Do the words ‘Venus in retrograde” mean anything to you? Are you trying to steady yourself? Here’s what this years Venus in retorgrade means for your sign. Just blaze on through – we’ve got this. This…
I know I’m not supposed to mess with a good thing… and one of the simpliciest definitions of a ‘good thing’ is fried dough with mountains of powdered sugar. So, it takes some true nerve, true gall, true grit to stand before you with an alteration to the already perfect powdered sugar covered beignet. I…
Hello dear friends! Welcome to this fine day – I hope you’re well! This week I had a sweet visit from my friend Ashley Rodriguez from Not Without Salt. She came to New Orleans to promote her latest book Let’s Stay In, and really just cook a bunch of food at The Bakehouse. Sometimes…
We’re changing the tone of things in the kitchen. Can you feel it? It feels like we need a different kind of nourishment. Warming and routine. Roasted and rooted. I find myself gravitating towards Golden Milk every autumn and winter. It’s the drink I stir together when I’ve dimmed the lights in my kitchen to…
Hello Sunday friends! I’m glad you’re here. I hope you’re setting into the day with ease. Take some time to just…. not, today. You know? This week has been remarkably rainy and steamy and I’ll tell you what… it’s not friendly weather for a girl with curly bangs. Nevertheless, life goes on – someway somehow. …
Steady as we go. That’s the mantra that’s been running through my head the last few days. Steady and go. Steady and keep on. I mean… I’ve definitely also stress-cleaned my closet. I’ve definitely also reached for that third cup of coffee when I CERTAINLY know better. I’ve also lost my patience and…
Hello my friends. We’ve made it to Sunday. That in itself this week feels… like a bit of deliverance. Just a bit. I hope this finds you with a moment to unwind yourself. I’ve felt pretty wound and bound this week. The Senate hearings, the content, the tone, the spectacle, the opinions, it’s been…
I bought my dad a milkshake yesterday. Strawberry – a solid choice though I remember him ordering Pineapple Malts when I was a kid which tipped me off early to his playful food genius. It’s pretty sweet sharing a milkshake with Dad, any flavor, any age. The offering today is a milkshake – roasty,…
