When it’s freezing outside, there’s only one thing on my mind: getting and staying warm. I have this issue with cold toes. When my toes are cold, it doesn’t matter how warm the rest of me is, I feel cold. During the week, this is a rare occurrence because my school building is quite warm. [...]
This was going to be a post about bread. More specifically, this bread: It’s a super-fluffy, high-fiber, slightly sourdough whole wheat bread I made because, to be honest, we were out of bread, and I was bored and cold on this weekend morning. Don’t worry, I’ll still share the recipe. While the bread was rising [...]

In our house growing up, we spent many many many Saturday mornings watching episodes of cooking shows on PBS interspersed with bouts of cleaning. Sometimes, we’d forgo an episode here and there (a repeat of The Frugal Gourmet, for example) for something more interesting, but there was one chef that would never be turned off. [...]
After the wonderful girls’ weekend I had this past couple of days, I was fairly excited to go home and crash… but my friend Amanda had another idea before I could go home. In between where we were staying and her house (where my car was parked) is a fantastic dairy farm and creamery which [...]

I’m going to do my best here… Parker House Rolls
This is the fourth and final post from my truly amazing trip to San Francisco for the FoodBuzz Festival this past weekend. I really could do significantly more posts than four, but I’m thinking you are all kind of sick of reading about the same events all over the food blogosphere! **Please let me know [...]
I very rarely make gluten-free treats. Ok, that’s not completely true. I make gluten-free food all the time, just not for the sole reason of it being gluten-free. I don’t have any sort of gluten intolerance, nor do I toy with cutting out gluten for the sole reason that it’s “trendy.” However, as many of [...]
I was a bit of a tease yesterday, huh? I left you with this and nothing else And I had a lot of guesses as to what I made. Some were close. Some were really far off! But your wait is over… I guess I didn’t make you wait long! I’ve always had a bit [...]
