Mushroom and Cheese Ravioli

May 13, 2011

I’m starting to think that I need to adjust my menu planning routine to include checking the weather report.  It was a balmy 83 degrees here in Chicago last night and I was in my kitchen making mushroom and ricotta stuffed ravioli.  It was one of those nights where the last thing I wanted to [...]

Banana Tea Cake & Thoughts on Cooking Without Recipes

March 28, 2011

“How can I learn to cook without recipes?”  It’s a question that I get a lot once friends or colleagues find out that I have a food blog.  It’s clear that the recession has spurred a lot of home cooking and once people become comfortable with their repetoire of recipes they are often eager to [...]

I tell myself that now we’ve been hitting some blazing hot temperatures in Chicago that I will stop using my oven. I’ll cast pizza and cookies aside for no-bake desserts and crisp salads.  But really, who am I kidding.  I still bake, I just crank up the AC to make it tolerable.  Not good for [...]

Gougeres with Honey

May 11, 2010

I think we all have those recipes we intend to make, but never get around to.  They hide in the back of recipe boxes, or in the Internet-age, our bookmark list.  We frequently overlook them in favor of whatever is dazzling us at the moment.  And then if we’re lucky, when the time is finally [...]

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 [...]
