As promised, I have prepared, for your viewing and baking pleasure, a mid-winter pick-me-up of one of my favorite summertime flavor combinations: Lemon and blueberry. Now, as I told my mom while making these, I could eat lemon blueberry anything for days. It’s the perfect balance of tart and sweet, just like cranberry orange bread (which I

Hello, hello! Thank you, dear readers, for being so patient. It’s been a busy season with work and stomach bugs and grandparents moving from one living space to another. Thanks for bearing with the delay.  By now, I’m sure you’ve heard of my terrible history with apple desserts. Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to

Ahh, fall. The season of apples, brilliant foliage, corn mazes, and hayrides. My favorite season. It’s the time of year when the air grows crisp and cool, the days grow shorter, and the nights are chilly enough for warm blankets. It’s also the time of year, at least where I’m from, when everybody and their

Sometimes, you just need cookies. Well, sometimes, I just need cookies. So, I make them! Don’t have eggs? That’s okay! This recipe doesn’t require any! Just butter, flour, sugar, and some of your favorite jam. The best thing about these cookies is that, like many simple treats, they tend to bring back memories of the “good ol’

Here’s a slightly more challenging recipe for the adventurous and aspiring culinary artist! Most of the recipe is pretty simple, but a new trick for this one is going to be browning butter… which, I can say, speaking as someone who hadn’t done it before today, is something that comes with a bit of a

I know I’ve been posting a lot of ice cream and frozen treat recipes lately, but they’re easy to make, great for summertime, and pretty inexpensive.Unless you, ya know, break your blender.(**Important Update: Blender wasn’t dead, it just needed a nap**)Worry not, I’ve altered the recipe from how I prepared it so that your blender

It’s that time of the year for me where disorientation has become a normal part of my daily routine. It’s the kind of delirium that leads you to put a washcloth in the dishwasher or asked your child to water the dog. Fortunately, even in an academically-induced haze, life is never too chaotic to make

“Ooh, heaven is a place on Earth!”That’s right. Belinda Carlisle was totally talking about these muffins when she wrote her 1987 hit. Okay, maybe not, but that didn’t stop me from jamming out to my 80s tunes while baking these little delights. It turns out that baking and music are a great way to fill

Sorry about the late post, all! After Tuesday’s snow day (which was spent digging out the ultimate quinzee with friends), I spent Wednesday barely able to move because I had moved so much snow. Today, at least, I can sit up, which is a great improvement over yesterday. Now that I’m about 60% functional, I’m
