This morning I woke up before Charlie did, so I snuck out of bed (not an easy feat, since I sleep on the inside next to a wall) and got to the kitchen. I haven’t been able to do a lot of independent cooking and baking lately because my arthritis in my hands has been [...]

As you can see, we stole one to eat while they were still cooling.
This week brought nectarines in the farm share, and since we’re going camping, we need something for easy breakfasts. I figured muffins would be a good start, and nectarine muffins sounded delicious. A month or two ago, I’d seen a peach crumb [...]
(Tired of Pie) Peach Blueberry Filo Turnovers

It was peaches again in the farm share this week, and although I love summer fruits, it’s been so hot and humid this week that I’ve been more interested in eating the cool cucumbers and lovely tomatoes they’ve sent along instead.
So now, I have some peaches, and no desperate pie making going on. I [...]

Today’s brunch: Cereal Coated French Toast, I-Think-I-Was-Dreaming Sweet Potato Browns, Raspberry Sorbet Bellinis, Vegetarian Bacon.
As I mentioned in my last post, we had Bo and Bendi as visitors last night, and Sunday was to be a day of Epic Brunch and either movies or board games.
Charlie slept very late today, so Bo and [...]
Plebeian Peach Walnut Oatmeal

Usually our cooked oats come out in the wintertime and summers are, as might be expected, a time for cold cereals. Last week, however, we got some wonderful peaches in our farmshare and oatmeal sounded like an amazing idea. Charlie got it started while I got ready for work, and I tossed it together on [...]
Summer Pumpkin Muffins (with blueberries, coconut, and cashews)

I love baking with pumpkin, but during the summer months, dense pumpkin breads with deep, spicy tastes like cloves and nutmeg can really weigh you down. Many of my recipes originate from having something in the fridge that was about to go off, and in this case, it was blueberries. I thought about mixing pumpkin [...]

Charlie and I work odd hours, and we sometimes have the pleasure of having an extended weekend, like we did today. This was especially nice since we were away at a conference all weekend, so we didn’t get any lazy days with epic breakfasts. Today, we made up for it, and Monday morning sure felt [...]
Philadelphia Zucchini Bread

This zucchini bread is called Philadelphia Zucchini Bread not because it’s native to the area, but because we’re bringing it to Philly when we go there next weekend. A guy we know is letting us share his hotel room for the low price of one homebaked zucchini bread. Since I’d never made zucchini bread before, [...]
