There is something about chocolate. Something rich and important. Something of substance. Something necessary. Chocolate can be simple, basic or chocolate can be fancy, elegant. This dessert is both. Literally both. All four things at once. Simple, basic, fancy, elegant. Chocolate, I have found is also the easiest thing to bake gluten free with. CocoaContinue reading “Flourless”

I have been tried and true making the same lemon bar recipe for years. I want everyone to brace themselves. This recipe calls for 3 1/2 cups of sugar. I know! If someday I can find a way to make lemon bars as good as these with less sugar I will be sure to letContinue reading “Lemon bars taste like summer”

It’s that time of year. When girls wear boots and scarves and sweaters and drink pumpkin spice lattes. That time after Halloween but before thanksgiving. When leaves crunch under your feet and swirl on the road when you drive by. I love this time of year, but not necessarily the pumpkin spice latte. I’m prettyContinue reading “All things pumpkin”

I have been working a lot on these… So that’s why there isn’t much on here. My old book is full. So I am transferring and trying to organize the new one. I honestly thought it would be quicker and easier. In addition to working on my recipe book I have been trying to narrowContinue reading “Recipe Roundup”

I haven’t felt inspired to write much or share much of anything lately. Especially related to food. I have held this in my drafts. I look at it. I edit it. I don’t know what I want to say or how I want to say it. I’m not looking to offend. I have not beenContinue reading “A sense of foreboding”

I’m in this place in summer where I am desperately trying to keep all the summer flavors as my access to them slowly starts to slip away. Strawberry rhubarb is one of my absolute favorite flavor combinations: pie, scones, muffins, breakfast loaf, syrup, sauce, jam, kombucha. This summer I have made them all. My friendsContinue reading “Strawberry Rhubarb everything.”

Does anyone have an absolute favorite baked good? Is there one thing you crave more than anything else? One flavor? One texture? One type of sweet treat? Is there something that takes you back, makes you feel like a kid again? Provides you comfort? You’re lucky if you answered yes. My problem is that theContinue reading “Cookies. Covid cookies.”

To me, anything rhubarb and anything lemon taste like summer. I beg rhubarb from my friends since I didn’t have a plant of my own until recently. I got a plant from a friend of mine a week ago. It is small but I think I’ll get rhubarb form it later this year. I buyContinue reading “Tastes of summer”

Have I told you that I love scones, bread, cookies, and muffins. Oh, muffins. Muffins are for mornings. Other baked goods, I can take ’em or leave ’em. These muffins though. Next level. I had them at a coffee shop in Seattle years ago and have been trying to recreate them ever since. I thinkContinue reading “My Morning Glory Muffins”
