Brown Sugar-Vanilla Bean Scones

December 17, 2009

I love having dinner with other food bloggers because you end up relating over things that may seem silly to non-bloggers.  One thing that often comes up is the fact that sometimes we just want to dig into our food and not stop to take a picture first.  Usually I show restraint and manage to [...]

Cream Wafers and Other Holiday Baking

December 14, 2009

My holiday baking has officially begun in earnest.  Last week I baked up some sweets for my holiday care package for Operation Baking Gals.  There was Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread baked in in jars and homemade plain and chocolate graham crackers that I dipped in dark and white chocolate respectively.
And this weekend I added to [...]

Mission Minis’ Cinnamon Horchata Cupcakes

November 17, 2009

One of the smartest decisions I made at the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival was to ask the Mission Minis cupcake staff if they would care to share a recipe with me and my readers. I was expecting the answer to be no. Given how delicious their cupakes were I figured that perhaps they were made from [...]

Pumpkin Goodies for Operation Baking Gals

November 4, 2009

It’s that time of the month again for another Operation Baking Gals care package. This time I am baking with Team LT Dowdy Wants Your Cookies. For those who may have missed my previous Operation Baking Gals posts, OBG is a group of volunteer bakers from all over the country who bake and ship homemade [...]

Chicken Liver Mousse & Parmesan Peppercorn Biscotti

November 2, 2009

I sometimes get asked in my everyday life if I am a vegetarian. It’s understandable because I often cook vegetarian dishes (both intentionally and unintentionally) and order them at restaurants because I happen to really like vegetables.  I’m always quick to correct people, not because there is anything wrong with being a vegetarian, but because [...]

Apple Almond Butter Muffins & Apple Sticky Bun Bread Pudding

October 18, 2009

I’m starting to feel seasonally confused.  First June came, but summer didn’t and the month was filled with rainstorms and blustery days.  Now it’s mid-October and our plans to visit a local Renissance festival were literally washed out by snow flurries and unseasonably low temperatures.  Instead the almost wintery temperatures called for a weekend of [...]

Caramel Apple Sticky Buns

October 6, 2009

This weekend I had the pleasure of going apple picking at Smolak Farms with fellow Boston-area food bloggers Elina, Shannon, Lauren, Kerstin, and Nicole.  (You can check out Elina’s recap here.)   In other words, by the time I finally (almost) finished off my apple stash I found myself with 1 1/2 crisper drawers of apples [...]

Apple Date Muffins

October 1, 2009

Among the things I have discovered about myself while working in the city is my lack of self control around a bakery case. In the early morning I find myself taunted by oversized-bagels ready to be toasted and schmeared with cream cheese, crispy croissants that promise molten interiors of chocolate or cheese, and dense scones [...]

Double Cinnamon Apple Squares

September 7, 2009

This weekend I finally came to terms with the fact that I will not get my June back and that I am a part-time college instructor. As a result I’ve finally been embracing fall. It’s a good thing too because it’s my favorite season so it’s sad to think of spending it pining [...]

Blueberry Biscones

September 5, 2009

Thanks for all the words of encouragement on my first class. It went errr…well, not up to my expectations. I know it’s narcissistic to expect to be some kind of stellar educator off the bat but I can’t help but feel dissatisfied at how it all went down.  What was funny was what I had anticipated tripping me [...]
