sprouted cookies = win!

On January 24, 2011 By

Okay, so tech­ni­cally quick bread was the win­ner of my sprouted wheat poll, but after con­sid­er­ing it I thought I’d take cook­ies for a spin with this first batch. I really wanted some­thing that would bake for a shorter amount of time to really show­case the fla­vor of the flour. The fresh flour has […]

hello, 2011!

On January 13, 2011 By

Wow, I’m finally get­ting to my first post of the new year. I can’t believe it’s 2011!

Every year I eager antic­i­pate the hol­i­days, to a bit of an extreme. I just love every­thing about the hol­i­day time! The lights, the music, the food, fam­ily, wrap­ping presents… it’s just the best. Unfor­tu­nately, once the new […]

cookie, cookie, cookies!

Alright, as promised here is the Choco­late Chip Pecan Cookie recipe, along with another cookie recipe that seems like it will pair per­fectly with a cup of tea and some time with loved ones. Fatty sugar alert: these recipes are super not healthy. You have been warned.

Choco­late Chip Pecan […]

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 […]

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 […]

cupcake win(s)!

On June 6, 2010 By

What hap­pens when you are a pro­cras­ti­na­tor of epic pro­por­tions (I have two “impor­tant” things I am sup­posed to be work­ing on but don’t feel par­tic­u­larly invested in) and you are child­less and asked to make cup­cakes for a 3-year-old’s birth­day party? You go a little crazy.

Straw­berry cream-filled vanilla cup­cakes with straw­berry buttercream […]
