I know I am behind on post­ing the win­ners of the cook­books, but I will get those up ASAP. I had this HUGE project/event hap­pen at work today that I was solely respon­si­ble for preparing/executing, so now that it is over, I can relax a lit­tle more and realign.

But in honor of my 7th […]

kitchen confessions

On October 9, 2009 By

We all have things in our lives that we do a lit­tle, well, half-baked. We are an inge­nu­itive species, so when things don’t work for us we either cre­ate some­thing that does or mod­ify what already exists. And from that spirit, we also find new uses for old or bro­ken things.

I have pur­chased a […]

Women do not have to sac­ri­fice per­son­hood if they are moth­ers. They do not have to sac­ri­fice moth­er­hood in order to be per­sons. Lib­er­a­tion was meant to expand women’s oppor­tu­ni­ties, not to limit them.

No, Martha is not vegan. Nor are her cook­books or show ter­ri­bly vegan-inclined (although search­ing “vegan” on […]

mixin’ it up muffins

On October 5, 2009 By

I love muffins.

No, that is an under­state­ment. I LURVE muffins!

Muffins and cook­ies share a com­mon char­ac­ter­is­tic that I hold dear, which is why they are both such pop­u­lar items in our house. They are like a blank can­vas, beg­ging to be tin­kered with. So tasty and so ver­sa­tile, these treats have a […]
