Last year for Christmas, or was it the year before? yikes, I made an apple pie by a um, quite famous blogger and I was so disappointed in it.  I think everyone else was too.  Ugh, just ugh, super embarrassing.  Kinda wish I could go back in time and make this Buttermilk Crusted Apple Pie […]

Pot Pie


Dairy Free, Dinner, Gluten Free, Pie, Recipes, Savory, Vegan

When the weather starts to change at the end of summer, I start hankering for soul-satisfying, hearty, warm, fill-all-your-corners meals like thick soups, stews, and pot pie (which, let’s be honest here, is essentially soup inside a pie shell and to whoever the genius was who created pot pies…THANK YOU).

Last week a dear neighbor gifted me a wedging table he’d built for my new home pottery studio. When I’d asked him if he would be willing to build one for me, I’d offered to pay him. “Just pay for the wood,” he’d said. But when he brought the finished table over to the studio […]

Easy Quiche


Breakfast, Dinner, Gluten Free, Pastry, Pie, Recipes, Savory

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, […]
