Remem­ber doing that as a kid? The stu­pid things we did to try and get peo­ple to curse… so goofy. And it doesn’t even sound right.

I promise this post will be more pro­duc­tive than sad attempts at swear­ing and the effects bet­ter than that of bit­ing your tongue. Ouch.

Apple Pie Butter, baby!

I wanted […]

holiday gift ideas

On October 29, 2009 By

If you’ve been a long time reader of this blog or my pre­vi­ous one, you know how crazy excited I get about the hol­i­days. I LOVE every­thing about the hol­i­day sea­son, from Thanks­giv­ing stuff­ing to New Year’s black eyed peas. I like to plan ahead for hol­i­day gift giv­ing as well. The cusp of November […]

I’m kind of clas­sic when it comes to eat­ing fruit but­ters– slathered on a chunk of bread or warm toast is all I need to feel bliss. But that was a very large amount of pump­kin but­ter to make, regard­less of how much I love Dave’s Killer Bread.

Enter my favorite meal of the day: […]

pump up the jam

On October 27, 2009 By

After my can­ning frenzy this sum­mer I took a break, but now I’m back in the swing of it with a fall line up of fruit but­ters in tow. First up, pump­kin butter.

I got this fun list from Jess’ blog and couldn’t resist. If you’ve never been to Port­land, you could rename this “100 Rea­sons to Jump on a Train, Plane or Auto­mo­bile and Get My Butt to Portland!”

Here’s how it works:

1) Copy this list into your own blog, face­book or web­site, includ­ing these instruc­tions.

Some­what recently I was with a friend at Star­bucks. I always like to take a look at their bak­ery case because they are well loved for their sea­sonal treats. I have a knock-off of one of their baked snacks they carry around Christ­mas time in my book (a lemon and cran­berry bar with lemon icing). […]

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 […]

I know I am behind on post­ing the win­ners of the cook­books, but I will get those up ASAP. I had this HUGE project/event hap­pen at work today that I was solely respon­si­ble for preparing/executing, so now that it is over, I can relax a lit­tle more and realign.

But in honor of my 7th […]
