Today is Octo­ber 19th. For those of you who are “in the know”, Novem­ber 19th marks the open­ing night in the US for part one of Harry Pot­ter and the Deathly Hal­lows. One month to go!

So excited!

To mark the occa­sion, I will be post­ing some HP inspired treats from the book series. I […]

fall baking fun

On October 1, 2010 By

*Kelly! You won the marsh­mal­lows! Send me an email with your address and I’ll pop them in the mail!*

While I love the lin­ger­ing days of sum­mer, as soon as the leaves begin to change my mind turns towards fall (my favorite sea­son) and then it turns to bak­ing, which is always enhanced by those […]

peanut… flour?

On September 21, 2010 By

One of the many rea­sons that I love Trader Joe’s is because aside from the every­day sta­ples (like flour and soy milk), you dis­cover these ran­dom trea­sures. They vary by region (I still miss the vegan grape juice sweet­ened cin­na­mon rolls they sell in Phoenix) and you never know how long you have before they […]

I love Thanks­giv­ing food. Cran­ber­ries and stuff­ing? Yes, please. Some more sweet pota­toes? Pile on some bread sticks or bis­cuits and gravy and call it a day. Who could miss turkey? Thanks­giv­ing is all about the side dishes anyway.

Except for dessert. Dessert is an equally impor­tant part of Thanks­giv­ing. Nat­u­rally, one’s mind wanders […]

cherry delight

If you’re from the US, you’ve prob­a­bly never heard of clafoutis, but I can assure you that you’ll be happy to be in the know.

Cherry clafoutis is a tra­di­tional French dessert that is basi­cally a baked custard/cake/crustless pie thing served warm and creamy with bursts of sweet cherry good­ness. Not only is it […]

pumpkin’s in the air…

On October 23, 2009 By

If there is some­thing I love about fall, it’s bak­ing. This sounds pretty obvi­ous, no? But really, it is the OPTIMAL time to bake. The spices are so earthy and deep and it take very lit­tle to make your house smell bet­ter than any stu­pid scented can­dle ever could– and you get to eat the […]

*side note: I’ve been selected again to par­tic­i­pate in Foodie Fights! The ingre­di­ents are excel­lent, so be sure to check back on Mon­day to see what I’ve made and to vote!

When you make a cheese­cake in a pie tin you can­not call it a cheese­cake. It must be called a cheesepie. I’m not making […]
