Were I a professional baker, I probably wouldn’t end up with flat, under-risen loaves of bread on a near-regular basis. I probably wouldn’t have nightmares in my sleep of covering my entire kitchen in flour or burning forgotten breads to a crisp in the oven. I probably wouldn’t have daily ruminations like, “Did I OVERknead [...]

Hi dear friends!
I love you. I really do. I am so grateful for and warmed by your comments, and it just makes me even more inspired to get in the kitchen and bake up something else for you (now if only I could send a slice of everything to each and every one of [...]

My friends, it is officially summer. I know for some of you that might be stating the obvious, but for me, I feel as though I went to sleep one night in the winter and woke up to a hot, summer morning. Springtime had a fleeting presence, one dotted with subzero temperatures, a few rain/hail [...]

Hello my dears!
I’ll be honest — I am really nervous to host my first-ever giveaway. It makes me feel all professional or something, which we all know is not the theme of my adventures here.
But let’s back up. I’m going to tell you a story.
My 24th birthday is in a week and a half. [...]

When I was little, I hadn’t a care in the world. I’d frolic around in sprinklers and on swing sets, and the biggest event of my day was making sure I pedaled my Tonka three-wheeler fast enough to make it home in time for dinner.
My favorite place to be was at my neighbors’ house. I [...]

Greetings, dear friends —
I apologize for a delay in recipe posting. I’ve been in a coma for a few days after eating my weight in bourbon bacon pancakes. You understand.
I also took a mini break from my daily obligations to visit my dear friend Ashley (see above) in her homeland. Which used to be [...]

Ah, the new year. A time for celebration with friends, a time of remembrance of things past and a time to look forward to what the future holds. A time to make resolutions and promises and (hopefully!) not break them.
Normally, I’m not one to follow the trend of making New Year’s resolutions. This is mostly [...]

I’m taking a (short!) break this week from baking — but don’t worry, I’ll be back in the kitchen as soon as you can say… see, I’m already back.
I’m currently obsessing over non-bread related baking items, like homemade apple chips. Yum. SO good with my new-found love, almond butter. Yes please.
But when I get the [...]

In case you’ve been pining for more recipes in my absence, you’re not alone. The fact is, I’ve missed baking, too. But it’s been the craziest of weeks, namely for one reason: A wedding.
Don’t you just love weddings? They brighten my mood no matter how I’m feeling (Case of the Mondays? Gone. Smells like cat [...]

Friends!
I forgot to tell you (OK I didn’t forget, I just haven’t gotten around to it. There, I said it. Confession.) — I’m posting recipes on Tablespoon again. So far: Blueberry Muffin Bread, Avocado Quick Bread and today, Mom’s Zucchini Bread (yes you, Ma. Love you!). And there will be more, even yummier recipes on [...]

Happy belated Fourth of July, all! I celebrated the weekend with my crazy — er, wonderful family on a camping adventure. We had a fantastic time playing bean bag toss, Bocce ball, Catch Phrase and Uno (yeah, we kind of like games) while sipping Coronas and watching the sun go down late at night. We [...]

Hello friend!
I must apologize most sincerely for my recent absence on this technological channel of conversation through which we’ve been keeping in touch. But I promise you I haven’t been sitting on my hands these past few days, oh no (except for that one day, when the husband and I watched “Ben Hur” and “Whip [...]

Friends! It’s been a while, I know. But, as I mentioned before (if you were LISTENING), I was on the lam to my new stomping grounds — the lovely Iowa City (where Elliott will be learning about bones and nerves and the purpose of the appendix at the University of Iowa’s physician assistant graduate school [...]

I promise, a new recipe is on the rise! (I really stretched for that one, I know) While you continue to salivate, I thought I’d add in another little feature to my blog. This time I’m writing about someone else’s writing, meaning I’m highlighting an article, link, post — whatever — that I found that [...]
