Every year during apple season, I get a little overzealous in my apple buying and usually end up with a bunch of apples that have lost their crunch. Personally, I don’t like eating soft apples. The flavor may still be great, but it doesn’t matter—if the texture is off, I don’t want to eat them. […]
I’m one a’ those folks who never wants summer to end. Yeah, one a’ those. “Babe, but doesn’t everyone love fall?” Mike asked of me as I was lamenting impending cold weather. “Sure, lots of folks love fall and that’s great but I’m not one of them.” Getting all fatalistic I continued, “that means winter […]

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 […]
A deftly simple pie that’s packed with big apple flavor crowned by a sweet foil of a crunchy crumble topping.
Holy toledo, you’ve been invited to a group thing or a party or a whatever last minute during the holiday season. What can you bring?! Or oh boy, you’ve got a crowd for a holiday shindig, one pie won’t cut it. And with the plates and the utensils and the stuff and the junk …..yikes. […]
Ah. Ah ha. The obligatory Pumpkin Pie. But in this case, this pie, this pie is anything but obligatory. Aaaand I know. Alllllll the other folks out there claiming to have the best recipe, so many….this is the one you should be making though. I am, ahem, not a pumpkin fan. “So wait,” you […]
