bake me a cake– giveaway!

On August 19, 2011 By

Okay, so I’m doing a give­away but there is a catch. This will not be ran­dom, the win­ner will be picked solely at the dis­cre­tion of my taste buds.

In less than a month, I will turn the big 3–0. I’m totally okay with it, I’m excited to have my twen­ties behind me, actually. […]

it’s so hard, to say goodbye, with treacle tart

On July 14, 2011 By

*sniff*

The time is here. Tonight at mid­night I will enter the the­ater, don­ning my shiny new HP-inspired shirt and a grip of tis­sues to mop of my eyes.

I couldn’t think of a bet­ter way to send off Harry than with his very favorite dessert (pud­ding, if you will), trea­cle tart. Trea­cle tart is […]

This week’s win­ner is: Heather! Con­grats Heather!

Things that make me happy:

The Pear Cin­na­mon Cider from Trader Joe’s is off-the-hook amaz­ing. I’m afraid it will dis­ap­pear right after the hol­i­days, as many of the good­ies they have this time of year do, so I’ve stock­piled sev­eral con­tain­ers of it. SO FREAKING GOOD.

What makes it bet­ter? Drink­ing it with […]

I have dis­cov­ered a new-to-me bak­ing blog, and I’m hav­ing a bit of a love affair with it. Joy the Baker is charm­ing and funny, very cre­ative and dab­bles in vegan bak­ing from time to time.

As a whole, I rarely use other people’s recipes for bak­ing, but while cruis­ing on her site last weekend, […]

*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 […]

dear pie, you’re the best. love, kris

On May 4, 2009 By

I always thought I was a pie-hater.

Seri­ously.

Despite my rag­ing sweet tooth, I would have rather gone dessert­less than have eaten pie. On the chance that I did have to eat, so as not to offend, I would eat the fill­ing and maybe the top crust, if there was one. I just couldn’t get […]
