This is what happens when you’re craving carrot cake and banana bread with equal intensity and can’t bring yourself to choose. …
Strawberries Romanoff (and some memories)
I once read that our family stories are lost in just three generations.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately; earlier generations of mothers and fathers – those who birthed us and those who nurtured us in other ways. Those who came from distant shores and changed the course of their lives, and ours, forever; most of whom we’ll never know. Not just because we won’t get to meet them during our lifetime, but because they’re not generally part of our conversations. Bit by bit, their stories are forgotten. …
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Squares
I’m thinking we skip the intros today and head straight to these yum bites. Sound good? …
Homemade Dill Pickles
Making all your salt & vinegar dreams come true.
As far back as I can remember, I was sneaking olives and pickles out of my parents’ fridge and drinking the juice (the grand prize), with hands barely big enough to manage the jar. …
Nuts & Seeds Raspberry Bars
By the time February rolls around, my hunch is that most of us could use a little extra tlc.
Not that there’s anything wrong with the soul crushing depths of winter, plenty of notable Pisces have emerged from the doldrums: Chopin, Renoir, Michelangelo, Ginsburg, Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, and Justin Bieber (nuff said)….
Winter Citrus Banana Bread
A little something to enjoy with your beetroot latte, then?
Coming up on six years in California and I still have to pinch myself every time I get to walk out into my backyard to pick fruit for a recipe. …
Flourless Pumpkin Muffins with Chocolate Chunks
Oh nothing to see here.
Just some warm, melty and scandalously moist muffins that will have you falling in love with the cold weather again.
(versatile too so if chocolate’s not your thing, you can easily swap that out — it just means we can’t be friends, that’s all). …
Spring Carrot Cake
A short list of things that will forever remind me of spring….
finding toy trucks, random socks and maybe a coin or two under the melting snow (it’s a bit like lifting the sofa cushion, it’s anyone’s guess what’s lurking under there);
spring skiing and the smell of bain de soleil;
running streams breaking the long, deep silence of winter;
daffodils and tulips;
flowering peach trees (that’s a new addition);
frittata & carrot cake! …
My Favorite Alternative to Microwave Popcorn Bags!
Any popcorn lovers out there?
It’s one of our favorites! Whether we’re binging on the latest season of Shark Tank or falling asleep to the theme song from Twin Peaks, the peppy kernel makes a regular appearance in our home.
Microwave popcorn bags are convenient but, as many of you probably know, come with safety concerns. Stovetop popcorn is a great alternative but not always the most convenient nor portable (say, for the office) not to mention the nasty smell and messy clean-up it can leave behind when a gaggle of teenagers rip through your home.
The method we’ve been using lately takes into consideration both health and convenience – plus, it makes amazing tasting popcorn! …
Crispy Almond Butter Fig Bars
in the infinite vastness of the universe, our lives are mere instants even on a geological time scale, let alone a cosmic one; we will all be dead any minute — thomas nagel
I may be a total weirdo but Nagel’s words have brought me comfort more times than I can count. It’s the kind of wisdom a girl can use when she’s revisiting her to-do list for the fourth time at 3am. …
