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 […]

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, […]

it’s the great pumpkin… harry potter!

On October 26, 2010 By

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, […]

cold weather = hearty food

On October 21, 2010 By

My life, as of late, has con­sisted of work and bak­ing. LOTS of bak­ing. Not to com­plain, but woman can­not live on cake alone. (You think I lie. For realz, though, if any­one could it would […]

a taste for fall…

On October 5, 2010 By

As the cooler weather sets in, I start to crave com­fort foods. While not nec­es­sar­ily look­ing for overly hearty fare, chilly nights and layer-weather beck­ons for some­thing that sticks to your ribs. Let’s take a stroll down mem­ory lane for some recipes that fit the bill.

Some Cur­ried Car­rot Soup is sim­ple to […]

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 […]
