Why yes, I already have a chocolate chip cookie recipe on this blog. It’s good of you to remember. That recipe isn’t too bad, but it’s buried in the darkest corner of the archives, and if you were to poke around a bit, you’d see that it’s the oldest post on the site – backContinue Reading

As far as events go, nothing wins the prize for the highest concentration of cuteness in a single place at a single time quite like a baby shower. Is it possible to NOT decorate cute baby sugar cookies when you’re putting on a cute baby shower to celebrate with the cute pregnant mommy-to-be on theContinue Reading

I didn’t eat very well in college, but I’m entirely confidant that I’m surrounded by other people who also didn’t eat very well in college, so, no judgments here. Mom, if you’re reading this . . . I had lettuce and tomato on my whole grain sandwich today for lunch. A typical day in myContinue Reading

I’m either burned out, or very close to it. I love my kitchen and my mixer and flour bucket. So dearly. But I don’t think I really appreciated the full impact of what I was committing myself to.

I’m going to have to cheat. It’s my Twelve Days of Christmas, so I can cheat, just a bit. I know you’ll let me because you’re nice like that. Besides, it’s either that, or stay up ridiculously late(er than I’m already staying up) and post poorly-lit photos . . . bad idea on both counts.Continue Reading

I’ve learned something in the past couple of months. And that is that a working camera is a rather integral part of food blogging. *Ahem* If you’re reading this, you can pat yourself on the back and feel good about the fact that you are one of the few and strong who haven’t ditched myContinue Reading

If any of you happen to have an extra straitjacket lying around (anybody?), I might need to borrow it. You see, anyone who is 8 months pregnant and in her right mind . . . wait . . . that’s complete gibberish. Let me try again. Anyone who is 8 months pregnant — at allContinue Reading
