*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 [...]

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 [...]
Sneaky Apple Pancakes

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 [...]
Mommy™’s Peach Pie

When I was growing up, my mother would take us peach picking most summers. We went to a place down the shore by my grandmother’s ridiculously large house, and then we’d all go back to the house to make pie. There was a large island in the middle of the kitchen, and many counters surrounding [...]

We don’t often cook with kale, but both Charlie and I have been fond of it ever since our vegan buddy Milo came to stay for a few months last fall and introduced us to kale chips. This week, it turned up in our farm share. We get an email early Monday morning saying what [...]
Beer Beet Risotto

I knew that today was the day I would finally use the beets from our farmshare, and I would make beet risotto! My friends Anne and Neil have made me beet risotto before, and it’s delicious, even though I’m normally fairly intimidated about beets.
Don’t be intimidated about beets, by the way. Sure, they gooze [...]
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 [...]
Snow Day Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Oh, my.
So, I’ve had my first adventures in baking a yeast based bread recently. A month or two ago, I tried to make some rolls, and they came out ok. Last week, I tried to make Grandma VanDoren’s White Bread, though of course I used white whole wheat flour instead.
Today, I used that [...]
