a holiday baking explosion

On December 20, 2010 By

Happy Hol­i­days!

I have been doing a lot of bak­ing, which I have been promptly pass­ing along to friends and neigh­bors, lest I sit around eat­ing it all day while hunt­ing for a job. Seri­ously, dozens of cook­ies, muffins and bread… it could get bad. But, I love to bake, so bake I shall. How […]

a cake of a different feather…

On December 17, 2010 By

Look at this beau­ti­ful cake. So pretty. So ele­gant. What a per­fect dinner.

Now, before you think I’m on a path straight to Type 2 dia­betes, let me assure you that we have not digressed to eat­ing cake for din­ner (as tempt­ing as it may often be). Sev­eral weeks ago, I was intrigued […]

vegan fruitcake delight!

On December 15, 2010 By

I couldn’t resist post­ing this fruit­cake recipe. We never had fruit­cake in my fam­ily when I was grow­ing up, so I don’t have bad mem­o­ries of it, but you can’t exist this time of year and not be famil­iar with the jokes that go along with fruitcake.

This fruit­cake, how­ever, is dense, moist and delicious […]

cookie, cookie, cookies!

Alright, as promised here is the Choco­late Chip Pecan Cookie recipe, along with another cookie recipe that seems like it will pair per­fectly with a cup of tea and some time with loved ones. Fatty sugar alert: these recipes are super not healthy. You have been warned.

Choco­late Chip Pecan […]

kittehs and cookies!

On December 8, 2010 By

Ani­mals are sup­posed to be able to rec­og­nize things that are harm­ful to them and with­draw from the edge of dan­ger. When we see fire, we retreat. When we come across an unknown berry in the woods, we don’t eat it.

Bindhi is appar­ently not that bright. She is ter­ri­bly attracted to two […]

mission: delicious

On December 3, 2010 By

*Update* Tiffany, you’re the win­ner! Thanks, every­one, for all of your deli­cious hol­i­day treat ideas!

This is your mis­sion, should you choose to accept it.

What are your favorite hol­i­day treats? Christ­mas, Hanukkah, it’s-cold-outside, what­ever you do or don’t cel­e­brate, what do you antic­i­pate eat­ing that is spe­cial to this time of year? Of course, […]

how do you cocoa?

On December 2, 2010 By

Well, slowly but surely we’re get­ting set­tled into our new space (hence my absence from the end of MoFo. FAIL). My new kitchen is HUGE, with tons of counter space and nat­ural light, two things I have been sorely lack­ing for years, so I’m very excited to start churn­ing out hol­i­day good­ies in this lovely […]

black friday fuel

On November 25, 2010 By

Or lay-on-the-couch-and-watch-TV-all-day fuel. Or Tofurky-coma-hangover-need-energy-to-tolerate-family-I-only-see-this-time-of-year fuel. What­evs. It works in any scenario.

While you worry about the food for today, let me worry about the food for tomor­row. Use some of the left­over ele­ments of Thanks­giv­ing that will be lurk­ing in your fridge, des­tined to mold (ah, we all have such good inten­tions, don’t we?), […]
