This is the quickest and easiest (and delicious-est) coffee cake. Like this is the one you throw together in a jiff for an impromptu friend visit. Or just because you suddenly have a hankering for cinnamon coffee cake. All I’m saying is if you feel like treating yourself to a sweet treat this weekend—a warm, […]
After the news came out last month, that hefty levels of glyphosate—the weed-killing chemical in Roundup—has been detected in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and oats, I decided it was time to get serious about making our own granola bars. (Cancer bar, anyone?) Because, I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the thought of […]
I must admit, I’m a wee loathe to give this one up. But it’s sooo good, I think the world should enjoy the yumminess that is my Grandma’s Honey Cake. Before we roll along though, did you see Jen’s Lazy Peach Crisp-Cobbler? Holy moly, Mike has shot me fifty+ stinky side eyes of the make-this-now […]
Suddenly it seems I have a mountain of things I feel the need to share with you Right.Now. Soooo many things! How do I pick?! I’m all a’-tizzy, what to do?! And I apologize, there’s not much healthy about these. shrug I suspect you’ll forgive me. These are hands down, probably the most insane thing […]
We have a constant supply of bananas in the house, and despite the fact that my kids are part fruit bat, we often end up with some getting overripe. Depending on the time of year, this happens once in a great while or every week (I’m looking at you, summer). I’d swear bananas are going […]
What do I want to do when it’s ninety five degrees outside with a heat index of one hundred? Bake. I’m rolling my eyes too. It’s hot! Stupid hot. And I’m baking! Whaaaat am I thinking?! Weirdo is right. But this is a must, a must-bake, an annual requirement I cheerfully fulfill. It’s […]
There is this old, slightly tattered piece of paper that I love, and on it is written my grandmother’s recipe for rhubarb cake. It might seem silly to love a handwritten recipe, but for me that paper holds the memory of my grandmother—the sound of her voice, the smells of her kitchen, and the warm […]
I love these scones. Love love love love love. And love is probably an understatement. Is this the best scone recipe out in the world? Um. I dunno actually as I made these once and I have never made any other, that’s how much I love them. Which is funny too as I have about […]
How…. How did…. How did I get this far in life and not know such a thing existed? An outrageous gi-gundo cinnamon roll?! Holy cats and dogs, people. Ok it is a bit embarrassing, this thing. In its over the top-ness. It’s….it is a bit nuts. Ok probably a lot nuts. Ok way nuts. But […]
My kids love to bake. It’s something they’ve done with me from a very early age, something I’ve encouraged because it is an incredibly good skill to have as an adult. Be able to make your own food? Yes, please. I want my kids to be self-sufficient. This is not to say that I don’t […]
