You may think that pumpkin is only for the fall, but I could eat pumpkin all year long. I made lots of my own pumpkin puree with the fresh pumpkins from our CSA this fall, and stocked up on a few extra cans, too… Just in case!
I’ve been on a bit of a quest to [...]

Healthy (Vegan) Chai Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
Thanks a Bunch (Vanilla Bean Sugar Cookies)
Who would have known that giving away decorated cookies would turn into a minor baking crisis? It’s not like I’ve never made cookies before… Far from it!
If you read my blog (or follow me on Twitter), you have probably figured out that I’m not a chef. I haven’t had any formal culinary training, and most [...]
Cinnamon Stuffed Scones
I have been craving scones for a while now. Honestly, I’m not sure why I didn’t make them sooner.
Yesterday, I got up early with great intentions of making doughnuts for Fasnacht Day. The more I thought about deep frying doughnuts and the inevitable mess that would result, the less inspired I felt. So, I pulled [...]
Friday Favorites – Kelly’s Cake Off for a Cause!
As many of you already know, I spent most of this week in New York City attending Kelly’s Cake Off for a Cause – a great event sponsored by Electrolux to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. So, instead of my usual Friday Favorites post, I thought I’d use this post to tell [...]

I’m definitely not the master bread baker that my mom is, but I have been getting better about making my own bread instead of buying it. I find that it’s difficult to find good quality breads at my local grocery store (most [...]
Gingerbread House (Daring Bakers December)
The December 2009 Daring Bakers’ challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi. They chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book as the challenge recipes.
I was beyond [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 29
Warning – If you are on a diet or watching your carbs, you may want to skip over this post!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way, let’s talk about this week’s Friday Favorites. The blogosphere was full of amazing cookie recipes this week. It would be just plain wrong for me [...]
Friday Favorites – Episode 28
The cooler weather (dare I even say cold weather?) this week has me in the mood to do some fall baking. For some reason, in my mind, I associate fall with baking. I suppose that’s because the fall leads into Thanksgiving and then the Christmas season, and I always step up my baking for the [...]
