Cakes. When I was young I wanted to decorate cakes. I dreamed of owning an eensy shop with the most exquisite flavors. Colors. Details. For years I attempted to decorate cakes that with their un…
Let me tell you a little something about a particular Christmas tradition. It’s one that started way, way back in Ancient History. But for now, we’ll just say the modern Christmas Cake…
In only the few months since I’ve completed school, I’m finding how I miss the routine challenge of reaching beyond my grasp at something new–something I would never have tried. …
It was my birthday, so I made myself a cake. Always an adventurer, I finessed a blackberry buttermilk concoction. We had friends over, my close friends, and despite the joy that it brought me to …
While I’ve spied a few crocuses and daffodils making their way from the wintry soil in my regular jaunts around the neighborhood lately, winter seems to have settled deep within my bones. I …
I grew up not far from a spectacular place. My mom used to take me to visit the nursery as far back as I could remember. In my memory, the sun was always shining, the flowers were always in bloom, …
I have two confessions. One, I’ve been eating these Beet Burgers for at least one meal a day for the last five days. Mostly because I’m too stubborn to downsize a recipe and/or freeze l…
Last week, I celebrated a birthday. It was a very ordinary sort of day with no particular fanfare, leftovers for dinner, and Will at a school event for the evening. So I enjoyed the evening after …
I sat at a stop light the other day and observed the car in front of me: Class of 2014 and the OSU beaver bumper stickers plastered amidst a bunch of others, graduation tassel hangi…
As it turns out, I am a giant nerd. I’ll gladly take an evening in with a good book just about any day. I take books to all family gatherings and long road trips. I have no problem sit…
Last week, I had a pleasant surprise. When teaching my young garden recruits, I had them taste parsnips at the end of the lesson. We try to taste a seasonal vegetable each time we meet. Since sp…
I look down at my black work pants. They’re starting to fade in the fold lines, and I have to use a lint roller to make them black again. My favorite blue sweater is comfy, but people are sta…
I turned 30 this last weekend. It was a birthday that both crept up and one I had been thinking about for a while. When I was a teenager, I imagined I’d have my career and life 100 per…
Dropping in super quick on this mid-summer day. The weather around here is finally reaching its appropriate (hot and summery) temperature and The Recipe Redux is celebrating a birthday. I t…
I loaded up on Italian plums at the farmers market last weekend. Their sign said “last of the season” and I sighed because we’ve moved so quickly into the autumn mon…
Closer to ‘Walden Pond’ than the ‘Joy of Cooking’, I read off the back of the book to Will as we drove from the library. You do know ‘Walden’, yes? I aske…
For my birthday this year, I decided to go the way of non-tradition and make a big pancake cake complete with chia berry jam, nut butter, coconut cream, and a pile of fresh berries. It was absolute…
I’ve noticed the last few months have brought little breakthroughs in my baking experiments, perhaps because I have not been practicing. I finally made a truly good gluten-free soda bread on …
I stepped out the door, determined to not let the weather hamper plans. The forecast was for two to three inches of fluffy, wintery, white. I decided by looking at the multiple inches outside that …
I cozied up with the first of the year baking dense loaves of rustic pumpkin + rosemary bread and drinking a good, strong pot of tea. I had a plan to identify main themes from the old year and mo…
