I used to work at a bakery that made scones. Berry, chocolate chip, cranberry, and my favorite: Cinnamon chip. Because there’s not much better than butter and cinnamon, in my opinion. We made batch after batch all day everyday, but I still enjoyed my early morning (4am!) cinnamon scone with fresh coffee. I miss working [...]
I drink a cup of coffee every morning. Just one, but I could never give it up. Throughout the rest of the day, I drink tea, usually just boring herbal tea. Occasionally, though, I’ll make something fancy, like this earl grey lavender latte. I don’t use tea bags very often and haven’t since I’ve discovered [...]
Garlic bread is something a lot of people don’t need a recipe for. Either because they just buy the frozen kind, or sprinkle some garlic salt on toast. I’m not judging — I’ve never had garlic bread that I didn’t like. But, there’s garlic flavored bread, and then there’s the kind made with actual garlic. It [...]
Two of my favorite foods are bread and nuts. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that this recipe is a fave of mine. It’s bread in that it’s baked in a loaf pan and sliced, but it’s not the kind you’re most familiar with. It has no wheat flour or yeast, and [...]
I love oatmeal, and try to eat it as often as I can, but it can get boring fast (side note: why does pizza never get boring?!?) I’m always adding new things to my oats, and have eaten them every way you can imagine: steel cut, rolled, combination, with chocolate, nuts, yogurt. But still, I’ll [...]
If you’re regularly scheduled brunches have been cut short, first due to a global pandemic, and then because you’re snowed in, then you might need to improvise. I mean, sure. You can just eat whatever you might normally eat for breakfast and skip brunch altogether. But is that ever fun? Nah. Since one of my [...]
Homemade ravioli sounds complicated, but this is actually something you can make on a weeknight without many problems. You don’t need a pasta maker; instead, just pick up a package of wonton wrappers — you won’t be able to tell the difference. This version is filled with creamy goat cheese and lemon, and then served with [...]
I drink one cup of coffee in the morning. It’s the same — strong coffee with lots of cream. Occasionally, I will have a second cup, but that’s rare. Usually I drink tea. I like all kinds of tea, but I have like a good chai. You can get tea bags, of course, but a [...]
Sometimes a meal isn’t so much a recipe, but an idea. You make it often, but change it up now and then, yet somehow it’s always just as delicious. That’s this tuna sandwich. The idea is the same every time — take a few super flavorful ingredients and pulse them in a food processor, then mix [...]
I love a good salad, and in an ideal world, I would eat at least one salad everyday. Try as I might, I don’t, but it’s always a goal of mine. This salad, is especially nutritious, as it’s loaded with several types of greens, a few other veggies and herbs, and some peanuts for crunch. [...]
Here's all the social media sites people tell me I need to be on. You can (kinda) find me on these. The only one guaranteed to get you a quick response is email, so try that first.
