crafty goodness

On December 17, 2011 By

And now for some­thing a lit­tle different.

My mother is super­hip and crafty. So crafty, in fact, that she has had pat­terns in the very pop­u­lar One-Yard-Wonders books. Their lat­est offer­ing was just released upon the world Fabric-by-Fabric One-Yard-Wonders book. You are all so cre­ative, I know that many of you dab­ble in […]

yummy stubble

On December 14, 2011 By

Inspi­ra­tion struck yes­ter­day, whilst work­ing away at my desk. Well, I will prop­erly attribute the inspi­ra­tion to Leigh, who admit­ted to resist­ing the impulse to put potato chips on my Hell Yes! Cake Bars. Instantly I thought of chocolate-covered potato chips. Then my mind moved on to chocolate-covered potato chips on a stick […]

biscuit love

On December 9, 2011 By

I love mak­ing muffins and cook­ies and cakes. And brown­ies. And bread. Who am I kid­ding, if it goes in the oven, I’m in love!

But every once in awhile, an odd sort of inspi­ra­tion strikes. This week was an exam­ple of it and I think I’ve invented my new favorite breakfast treat.

Typ­i­cally, I’m much more […]

bars + cake= nom!

On December 6, 2011 By

In the mag­i­cal inbe­tween world, less sweet and but­tery than a bar but not as fluffy as a cake, lies a dense but moist cre­ation, speck­led with deli­cious­ness. I’ve been mak­ing all sorts of cre­ations that are some weird cake/bar hybrid… hand­held, deli­cious and full of goodness!

You see, I love stuff in my baked […]

oaty oats

On November 23, 2011 By

It’s not news that I love oat­meal. Once the tem­per­a­tures drop below 50, it’s my break­fast of choice. And like other blank palettes (muffins, pan­cakes), what I really love about it is that it’s so ver­sa­tile. You never have to have the same oat­meal twice. It’s also break­fast super-fuel; full of fiber and pro­tein to […]

i’m so mad about ‘stachios…

On November 21, 2011 By

Cook­ies. They giveth (love) and they taketh away (skinny jeans). Alas, it is the sea­son and cook­ies are my rea­son for hol­i­day cheer, so I’ll just be adding an extra weekly work­out to the mix and call­ing it good.

I love pis­ta­chios and I love choco­late and I love chewy, nummy oat­meal cook­ies. Isn’t […]

spice is nice…

On November 14, 2011 By

I’m not above bribery to try and excuse my long blog absence.

I’m really not.

So, I come bear­ing cake. Not just any cake, but a fes­tive, spicy, tastes-so-jolly-you’ll-be-spiking-the-soy-nog-and-belting-out-carols-while-you-bake-it Bundt cake. It doesn’t get any bet­ter than that.

I usu­ally revel in the pump­kin run up to Thanks­giv­ing, cram­ming it into every nook and […]

where did the time go?

On October 24, 2011 By

Wowie. This month has just barreled along!

I am in Min­nesota. Boxes are (mostly) unpacked. Kit­ties are no longer ter­ri­fied of being stuffed in a cat car­rier and are fat and play­ful. Flour has been flung. Baked goods have been made. The air is chilly and warm lattes and hot cocoa are being con­sumed in copious […]
