Hello Summer! Here on the east coast, it seems that someone turned on the blast furnace just in time for labor day weekend. And forgot to turn it off again. Not even the shore was immune, as I found out during my very hot 5 Miler! Three 95+ degree days in a row does not [...]

Sometimes life gets in the way. In the way of photographing a really great recipe or a great moment. Because you’re just too busy being in the moment to care. That’s what happened for this recipe, which I’ve made several times now, but I always end up not photographing, because I’m always making it for [...]

So where were we? Oh yeah, I had a cake to share with you! After a major furniture rearrange in our rental house and the better part of a day, we had one beautiful cake. It’s amazing what 18 sticks of butter and 7 pounds of powdered sugar can turn a humble blueberry cake into! [...]

I thought about starting this post with a picture of our alley, but then I realized some of you may read the blog early [...]

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 [...]

I hate to sound like a broken record, but it’s been H-O-T here on the east coast. Like, more days over 90 degrees than ever before in my expert meteorological memory. Right after the fourth, we had a day where the actual temperature–not the heat index–hit 105. Yikes! We were at the shore that day, [...]

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. And this isn’t my usual, self imposed, ilovepbjsomuchieatiteveryday rut. [...]
