It’s about time for me resurface back into the blogging world, don’t you think? Well, I do. And we are going to start off by talking about sugar cookies. Who doesn’t love a delicious sugar cookie? Who doesn’t love a delicious anything? If something is delicious, of course you want to make it over and […]
Group projects, tons of reading, and studying in my free time have taken over my life that was once filled with farmer’s markets and cooking. I’ve been back in school for 3 weeks and feel completely overwhelmed. If you remember, about a year ago I was in the same spot, 6 weeks spent in the […]
It feels great to have the oven baking a sweet delight with the four burners boiling and sautéing as I stand at my cutting board chopping vegetables or kneading homemade pasta. It feels wonderful to cook in my kitchen at our second floor New York apartment that doesn’t have air conditioning, until 3 days ago […]
uncooked amaranth seeds While in California, I willingly put myself through a food experiment. It’s not a double-blind study by a third party independent company with controls or placebos. It was just me testing my body and the food we eat. Have you heard of gluten sensitivities or Celiac Disease? I had only heard about […]
When I was a kid, we spent most holidays at my grandma’s house. She lived roughly 65 miles away from us, though it took about an hour and a half to get there. While growing up those 65 miles seemed to take forever (my how things have changed)! Once we turned down that gravel road […]
The week before I left New York, I hustled and bustled around the kitchen in our home making dinners and desserts that would freeze well. I couldn’t imagine leaving Todd with an empty freezer. In my opinion it needed to be stocked full of sauces, casseroles, his favorite cookies, and sticky buns. If he wanted […]
There is something about blueberries that gets me excited. I’m a sucker for blueberry pancakes, blueberry scones, blueberry syrup, blueberries in my smoothie, blueberry jam, blueberries by themselves, blueberry cake or pie. Blueberry muffins rank very high on my list and I’d be disappointed if the coffee shop in my hometown was sold out of […]
When the weekend hits at our house, I’m usually quick to make a list of things to do and accomplish while I’m home for 2 entire days. Fortunately for Todd (and you!), it includes cooking, baking, and/or a dinner that takes me all day to prepare and cook. Having nothing particular in mind this past […]
Yummy soup! Such sad bread that didn’t turn out…bummer! Happy New Year to you! I hope you’ve had a wonderful first 3 days of the new year. With all the buzz about new beginnings, fresh starts, resolutions and “clean slates”, while visiting home I had yet one more person comment on my decision to leave […]
Are we really winding down? Or could it be that with each passing day we are getting more and more wound up? You can feel the excitement in the students and chefs. You can see the giddy laughing as you walk down the hallway or pass a kitchen window. Travel plans have been finalized and […]
