i’m so mad about ‘stachios…

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…

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 […]

and the seasons, they go ’round and ’round

Fall is in the air and along with the change in sea­sons comes a life change, too.

In two weeks I am mov­ing back to my home state of Min­nesota. (Hence, my lack of fail­ing at par­tic­i­pa­tion in Vegan Mofo this year.) The whole time that I’ve been blog­ging these past 5 […]

If you’re look­ing for some cook­ies to cel­e­brate with, allow me to make a cou­ple of suggestions.

If you’re look­ing for some­thing a […]

i haz cookies (and you can too!)

I have a tasty deal for the Treat of the Week this week…

Can you imag­ine any­thing more excit­ing than the aroma of cook­ies and brown­ies when you open up your mail­box? Well, sure, I guess there are things more excit­ing than that, but not mail related!

The awe­some Emma from Courser Farm […]

calling all gleeks!

On September 20, 2011 By

Tonight’s the night! The 3rd sea­son pre­mier of Glee! I am a recent con­vert and I just couldn’t help myself. The com­bi­na­tion of singing, chore­og­ra­phy and pop music wrapped in the high school pack­age is too much to resist. I was a choir kid in school and was in musi­cals so I can […]

the smell of soup season

On September 14, 2011 By

Nature giveth and she taketh away.

I think she took summer.

It took a long time for sum­mer to finally make its appear­ance in the Pacific North­west, so I couldn’t help but feel a lit­tle slighted last night, as I begrudg­ingly pulled an extra blan­ket onto the bed. But while I long to soak up […]
