So here, here’s what I’ve got for you to use up the rest of that buttermilk I suggested you buy last time for those reeeediculously delicious, can’t-stop-eatin’-‘em Vanilla Buttermilk Cookies. Ok, I know, now this one requires an ice cream maker.* Sigh, I know. But really though, ice cream makers are not terribly expensive. If […]
For the December holiday season last year, I made a slew of cookies. A slew, I tell ya. Eight different kinds as a matter of fact, handily a new record for me. Not sure if that’s not keeping up with the Joneses or if I went overboard but regardless, the holidays made for an excellent […]
Becky: (opens microwave [our dog-proof baked-good storage hiding place when we leave the house], removes plate, turns and holds in front of husband, light magically emanates from said plate) Mike: (loooooonnnng stare) (long stare) Mike: Uhh…. Becky: (quietly holding glowing plate) Mike: You should not be allowed to bake. (pause, stare) Mike: You should be […]
Lately these days I’m finding I have less and less and less time in a day. I mean c’mon, where the heck does it all go?! I swear, one minute I’m groggily trying to drag my night owl rear end up for the day and the next I’m back in bed for the night wondering […]
Despite the miles between, it appears Jen and I share the same baking brain. Jen with her fabulously flexible Everyday Basic Muffins and then me with Cinnamon Sugar Breakfast Puffs. Huh. Guess we’ve got breakfast goodies on the brain! Please tell me you’ve already baked Jen’s Maple Coffee Cake with Oat Streusel and are in […]
It’s my birthday! Again! Ugh! My friend Geoff (uhh, cough, just a few [several too many now]) years ago said, “Now that you’re 29, you can start subtracting every year.” At this point, that miiight be awkward. But thankfully I don’t feel my age. It’s just a number, riiiight?! That’s what folks say to […]
A deftly simple pie that’s packed with big apple flavor crowned by a sweet foil of a crunchy crumble topping.
Ah. Chewy brownies. Yes, chewy brownies! Now, no offense here, I know this is a controversial, delicate topic. “Hey babe, we’re outta dessert-like items. What can I interest you in?” From the couch I hear a loungy day-off grunt, “Brownies.” “Ok, brownies it is.” So beganeth an hour+ of recipe seeking. Did you know brownies […]
So ok, say it’s the holiday season and you’re crankin’ out the batches of cookies left and right. Cookie-splosion! But then you panic. You’re running through the list of cookie recipients in your head and you’re all like crap, do I have enough?! I probably don’t have enough. Oh my, oh dear, what am I […]
A-what now? I know, Savory Oatmeal Cookies, this sounds freaky and weird but hold that thought. Before we roll on the cookies though, be sure to read Jen’s most recent post. My heart is broken in a zillion pieces for her and her family; I’m at a loss for words. Be sure to send her some […]
