This is a Monday morning kind of bread. This is a “I don’t want to get out of bed” kind of bread. A “I just need one more second of vacation” kind of bread. The kind of bread you make when you don’t want to grow up, when it’s your birthday and you want to [...]

As a full-time food blogger, I get asked a lot about what recipes are my favorite to make. I must admit I cringe at this question because for one, it’s like choosing a favorite child, and two, oftentimes I’m embarrassed to share my true answers. Because when it comes to dinner, the answer is bean [...]

Obviously this post is just another excuse for me to eat dessert for breakfast. Because I mean, when you think of yogurt, you think of breakfast. When you think of strawberries, you think of chocolate-covered strawberries. So when you think of strawberry yogurt, you think of dark chocolate-covered strawberry crepes. At least, that’s where my [...]

Well, it happened. I officially have a new favorite doughnut. I didn’t think this was possible, you see. For years, my heart and my taste buds were torn between the chocolate glazed cake doughnut and the strawberry-frosted yeast doughnut (with sprinkles, of course). Sometimes, even the Boston cream doughnut would wedge itself in there, as [...]

It’s coming up all Easter over here and I didn’t even know it was happening. I guess I just get excited about the reason for the season, and the prospect of spring (even though it’s trying to be all coy and hard-to-get over here in snowy Minnesota winterland. I know you’re there, spring, don’t try [...]

Sheesh, it’s been a while since I last kept you abreast of what I’ve been conjuring up for the interwebs. There’s some serious yumminess going on, so I thought I’d share it with all y’all. You know, because I think you’re great and stuff. And you deserve to treat yo’ self. First up! Jelly doughnuts. [...]

Mayhaps you don’t know this about me, but I’m a big music nerd. As in, I love music. Going to shows and getting all up in people’s personal space and then getting really tired at 10 p.m. and wanting to go home before the encore thereby annoying my husband is one of my favorite things [...]

Make way for my lovely guest poster, Natalie! I might be biased (she is my sister in law, after all) but Natalie makes some of the most amazingly delicious gluten-free baked goods I’ve ever tasted in my life. MY LIFE. Being that I’m a very far cry from her level in the gluten-free baking world, [...]

So… this is not what I intended to make. You know how they say when life gives you persimmons, make chai-spiced coconut pear bread? Oh, they don’t? Well that’s what I heard the other day. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, I bought persimmons for the first time in my life. [...]

I tried. I really did. I really tried to make January the Month of Healthy Eating. I really tried to eat more kale and drink more water. I even tried to schedule a full month of blog posts with recipes chock-full of healthy, good-for-you ingredients (carrot-flax seed muffins! green smoothies! flavored ice cubes!) but I [...]

Oh yes. Yes, I did. See, there is nothing more festive than a food baked into the shape of a wreath. NOTHING, I tell you. So go ahead and make fun of me for getting all up in the holiday spirit — but you’ll be missing out on this magic.

Say you just moved six hours away from your old roost to a new one (with so much light! off the lake! and a weird creature that swims in it that we have yet to identify!). Say you’d recently gone a few days without shaving your legs or painting your nails (this is real talk. [...]
