OMG– a treat of the week!

My boss cel­e­brated her last day at work yes­ter­day, after 13 years with our orga­ni­za­tion. This year she has com­mit­ted to bak­ing one cake per week and blog­ging about it. Nat­u­rally, the theme of our going away cel­e­bra­tion for her was cake-related, with folks bring­ing in cakes of all […]

savoring the muffin (top)

On February 3, 2012 By

My muf­fin top is all that,
Whole grain, low-fat
You know you want a piece of that,
But I just want to dance

Ah, 30 Rock. You win some and you lose some, but dammit when you win, you win big. (Although my all-time favorite is Were­wolf Bar Mitz­vah.)

One of […]

So this is a quick Treat of the Week that I feel is a cheat because:

1.) It’s not actu­ally my recipe
2.) It’s not so much a recipe as it is food assembly

Alas, it’s in align­ment with my cleanse. Oh yes, and it’s delicious.

I used this recipe, but […]

millions of peaches…

On August 25, 2011 By

Wait, are you won­der­ing about the birth­day treat give­away? Well, I’m still tak­ing ideas, as I have 2 more weeks to go before the big day! And remem­ber, it doesn’t have to be cake. Cook­ies, brown­ies, pies… the options are end­less! So keep ‘em coming!

So, I have sad news. I am not at […]

vicarious cake-eating

On August 4, 2011 By

Oy.  It’s been too long.  I won’t make too many excuses, expect for hav­ing a busy sum­mer.  Plus, I haven’t been doing much of note with food lately, but I have some stuff com­ing up soon that will hope­fully get things jump started again.

First off, this Sat­ur­day at 1pm I will be get­ting interviewed […]

Mrs. Weasley’s Magically Easy Fudge

On July 8, 2011 By

It’s (Harry Pot­ter!) Christ­mas in July!

Well, maybe you like fudge all year round, but I usu­ally think of it as a hol­i­day treat. And who wouldn’t love a hol­i­day pack­age of good­ies from Mrs. Weasley? Seri­ously, I want to be a mom just like her when I grow up…

Any­way, you can enjoy a […]

long live the gingers!

On June 17, 2011 By

The word “gin­ger” has got­ten a bad rap.

Well, you know what? It’s time to take a stand. I love me some Weasleys and I love me some ginger, too.

Awhile ago, sad­dened that it’s hard to find gin­ger ale that isn’t sweet­ened with high fruc­tose corn syrup, I decided to make […]

even though it’s warm– let them have cake!

On June 10, 2011 By

Sorry for being MIA. I should be back to a more nor­mal post­ing schedule soon.

Until then– a cake for you to bake in your rice cooker! This cake is from the Not-Baked chap­ter in my new cook­book. It’s too darn hot to run your oven, but it’s not fair for Mother Nature to expect […]
