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 […]

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 […]

rainy day cheer

On November 18, 2010 By

I am a big fan of day­light sav­ings so when we go off of it for the win­ter, it’s hard not to get a lit­tle sad. Here in the PacNW, it’s lit­er­ally pitch black by 5 p.m. We’re in our rainy sea­son, which means that even when it’s not rain­ing we are in for primarily […]

tips for healthy baking (that still tastes good)

On November 10, 2010 By

So… I didn’t MoFo yesterday. Oops.

Today, I want to dis­cuss bak­ing and health. I get enor­mously frus­trated when peo­ple say to me, “Oh, you’re a vegan baker? Your stuff must be really healthy.”

Uh, no, actu­ally. It’s not.

And then I have to try to explain to them that while it’s not […]

pumpkin overload? never!

On November 3, 2010 By

First off, I want to plug a super cool new fea­ture that Word­Press is offer­ing: Food­Press! It’s an easy way to sift and sort through the tons of food blogs hosted by Word­Press and to see some cool fea­tures that might not oth­er­wise cross your screen. Like you need another distraction.

I would love […]

hagrid’s (not horrible) rock cakes

On November 2, 2010 By

The fol­low­ing is a les­son that Harry Pot­ter might have learned at Hog­warts. If they stud­ied bak­ing. And had bak­ing related sex ed.

When a scone and a cookie love each other, some­times they decide to have the seckts. In doing so, they cre­ate off­spring: the rock cake.

Rock cakes are not com­mon treats in the US, […]

dark magic… and chocolate

On October 22, 2010 By

Okay, HP fans! Here is another Harry Pot­ter themed treat that Pot­ter­heads and Pot­ter­haters alike will love to eat.

Before I get going, I wanted to draw some atten­tion to this awe­some vegan Harry Pot­ter blog: Dumbledore’s Vegan Army. Fun stuff!

So, first, I wanted to work with that Trader Joe’s peanut flour again, in a […]
