happy pumpk-o-ween!

On October 31, 2012 By

One of the best times of year is the sticky, pumpkiny, caramelly mess that is October-November. The leaves are changing, sweaters and scarves fall into heavy rotation and when you bake something- oh my. The smells of spices and the bright, vibrant hue of pumpkin are two things I can never get enough of.

So […]

the blog that time forgot…

On September 25, 2012 By

Hello!

As fall is rushing in and I’m dreaming of spices and baking and thick socks and warm drinks, I thought it was time to emerge from my summer hibernation. This summer has been tremendously productive AND relaxing, which has been lovely, but I apologize for neglecting the blog.

I went on vacation this summer, […]

tasty cake…

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 […]

So yeah.

I had planned to have the tester site up by late March.

It’s now bordering on late April. And I’m currently 3 lattes deep at a favorite local cafe while frantically typing, photo editing and distracting myself with Facebook and videos of big cats doing really cute shiz.

Challenge accepted, my friend. This was especially timely because I’ve been in a bit of a […]

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 my brothers […]

yummy stubble

On December 14, 2011 By

Inspiration struck yesterday, whilst working away at my desk. Well, I will properly attribute the inspiration to Leigh, who admitted to resisting the impulse to put potato chips on my Hell Yes! Cake Bars. Instantly I thought of chocolate-covered potato chips. Then my mind moved on to chocolate-covered potato chips on a stick […]

biscuit love

On December 9, 2011 By

I love making muffins and cookies and cakes. And brownies. And bread. Who am I kidding, if it goes in the oven, I’m in love!

But every once in awhile, an odd sort of inspiration strikes. This week was an example of it and I think I’ve invented my new favorite breakfast treat.

Typically, I’m […]
