*Note: I don’t usually consume much of the sweets I’ve made. Mostly, I bake for other people. This crisp, however, is so delicious… well… let’s just say that I won’t have to worry about distributing any at work in order for it all to get eaten. This is another recipe with the sugar cut back, [...]

Last weekend, we went up to Massachusetts to visit a whole mess of our friends, and of course, wherever there is a whole mess of our friends, I try to make baked goods appear. First, we drove up to Vermont to buy some maple sugar, since it’s an ingredient that I’ve been dying for since [...]

Yesterday, I finally got a chance to search through my Moosewood Cookbook that I’ve had for ages. I tried not to get too distracted on the desserts, since we were looking for easy entrees that we would both enjoy. We found lots, and we were inspired to make calzones last night. I also wrote [...]

Charlie’s been making this pie for a while, and he always gets extremely rave reviews with it. (This photo is from when he and Ben made the pie for me once!)
You may have noticed when I posted the recipes from All Over Your Face, I omitted the apple pie recipe. That’s because when we [...]
I prefer a wooden spoon. (Or, how it all began.)

I wrote this about a year ago when someone asked me where I learned to bake, so here’s a brief history of what’s behind all the recipes I post.
It just sort of happened, really. Anne taught me pie crust, of course, and my brother’s friend’s mom taught me that brownies are meant to have a [...]
Nectarine Crumb Mini-Muffins

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 [...]
Stovetop-Free Strawberry Pie

This was one of the flavors that we offered for the pie-eating contest, and as I mentioned in the Blueberry Crumb entry, I had a lot of trouble finding a recipe that didn’t pre-cook the blueberries into glop.For the strawberry recipes I perused, [I'd never made blueberry or strawberry pie before] I found that the [...]

This pie was by far my favorite out of any at the pie-eating contest, and I’m definitely going to try to squeeze in another one before all the blueberries disappear from the supermarket shelves (or the prices rise dramatically as they are shipped in from lands far far away). People were clamoring to get [...]
(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 [...]
