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 [...]

Wendi–you guessed right! All those peaches were procured as part of a jam making mission. A massive jam making mission. We’re about to enter a particularly busy stretch in our lives where we spend a good chunk of our lives on the road. It should be fun, and hopefully not to exhausting (I’m not a [...]

On this past cloudy Saturday, Noel and I had a little adventure. We headed west out of the city into the green Howard County farmlands. Our destination–Larriland Farms, my favorite pick your own spot. Although Larriland is just 22 miles outside of Baltimore, it feels like a different world out there. I had only ever [...]

Are you tired of summer squash yet? Maybe I’m just some kind of super squash loving freak, but I’m not even close to being tired of summer squash yet. When I sent Noel off to the Sunday Farmer’s Market, it was with the instruction to “buy more squash!” He made the face though, so I [...]

Ah, cobbler. One of my first, and favorite, summertime food memories. First and favorite, because you see, my mom’s family is from the South. And there are few things southerners enjoy like fresh fruit covered with tasty biscuit dough–aka cobbler. Okay, maybe they enjoy stuff fried in bacon grease more, but trust me, cobbler is [...]

In honor of Maryland’s Buy Local Challenge Week, I’d like to talk a little bit about why I buy local. Buying local. It’s something that’s very near and very dear to my heart. If you’ve ever talked to me in real life, we’ve probably reached the point in the conversation where I start waxing romantically [...]

I have arrived in the ultimate food rut. It has nothing to do with pizza. In fact, the rut is probably the opposite of this amazing, fantastic, amazing (so much in fact, I can say it twice) grilled pizza. Me in a food rut? Well yes.
