So the only thing that didn’t go swimmingly in our whole Maine wedding cake baking process was the math. Math? Yes the math that we did to figure out how much of each ingredient we would need to make enough cake batter to fill our pans. We thought we would need WAAAAY more batter than [...]

Since my junior year in college–after the ill-fated first year of college and the dread freshman 15 + the bonus sophmore 15–and the need to work it off, I’ve been kind of a fitness nut. Some even like to use the term gym rat, although as a person who has had actual real life encounters [...]

All spring long, i’ve been taking baby steps towards this point. The point where I make REAL jam. You know, the stuff that lives in jars and is shelf stable. The stuff you can open in the dead of winter for a bit of summer. It started with more than a few batches of rhubarb [...]

And no, despite what your eyes may spy in the food processor above, it’s not my usual stand-by straight up oatmeal! Rather it’s pancakes! But not just any pancakes. Whole grain pancakes! A recipe that allows me to [...]

I’ve wanted to make bagels for a long, long time. I love bagels, but I’m pretty particular about them, because if a piece of bread is going to be the center of my meal, I want it to be good bread. And so, I find that only small batch, made by hand bagels seem to [...]

I love the idea of brunch. A big, warm meal to start a weekend day just sounds grand! The problem is, I’m not so good at the execution of the brunch idea. For whatever metabolic reason, I typically wake up STARVING. And if I’ve been enjoying the vino the evening before, that hunger is usually [...]

One a penny, two a penny–just in time for Easter–hot cross buns! Did anyone else sing that song in grade school?? Anyone, anyone? Okay, no. Well it’s okay, because Noel looked at me a little weird when I walked around singing it the whole day I was working on the buns. Apparently my elementary school [...]
