Ok so Mike, he’s a lucky guy. Super lucky guy. Not only does he have me in his life but he also chows down on all these tasty treats I present to you plus heaps of stuff in between. And even better for him, I bake especially for him on occasion. Always the Peach Pie towards […]
Ooooooooh glorious apple season. The joyous gift that keeps on giving! Such as this Apple Mosaic Tart! Oh but did you see Jen’s Crock Pot Applesauce?! What’s better than homemade applesauce, amiright?! Ok, don’t be intimidated by this apple tart though. It does look uber fancy and may give an air of unachievable but in […]
One of my personal goals with this blog (and no doubt Jen will agree) is to share all sorts tasty goodies that are simple and/or quick and/or effortless yet downright fabulous, definite tried-and-true winners that will give you great results, confidence, and encouragement to bake. It’s not a scary thing, baking, I promise. Oh, hey […]
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….

Quiche is one of my absolute FAVORITE things, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s the perfect food—chock full of protein, fully customizable to your particular tastes, and ridiculously easy. Like why-don’t-I-just-make-this-every-week easy. I mean, you make a pie crust (or buy one, that’s totally okay), prebake it, mix together eggs, milk, cheese, and what-have-you, […]
It’s funny, starting this blog, rarities like buttermilk and heavy cream and various flours and heaps of chocolate and etcetera and etcetera are now on permanent standby, at the ready for drop-of-the-hat baking. Which is generally my M.O. Life is hard, yup, and poor Mike suffers so. However, things like cream cheese are not, oddly […]
Hey, here’s a hot baking tip for ya (is that a pun?): just because a recipe is maybe miswritten or isn’t written to your liking or is incomplete or ingredients or instructions lead you awry, doesn’t mean you can’t bake. I hear you scoffing. And I mean no offense there, recipe writers. Don’t give […]
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 […]
The first time I made my own pie crust I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. Fresh out of college, I looked up a recipe in my trusty Pillsbury Cookbook and made it. The following day at work, I mentioned that I’d made a pie with a homemade crust, and one of the […]
