I haven’t felt this sick since my second daughter was born. And I think it might be the cure that is killing me—the doctor put me on some meds that have me dizzy, light headed, faint, nauseous and generally very unhappy. (Edited later to add that after going med free for a bit I am…

We’re Back! …and we’re all sick.
Sorry about another delay between posts, but while we were out of town we picked up some major bugs. Before mine hit full on, though, I did make these cookies from my newly arrived Martha Stewart’s Cookies. They are solidly good–maybe not amazing, but nice for a change of pace. So hopefully they will tide…
Leaving You On A Sweet Note: Glazed Lemon Bundt Cake & Nutty For Oats Cookies
Well the recipes continue to stockpile in my head, and unfortunately we leave tomorrow for another week or so. So, before I forget I have 2 recipes to share with you, both of which I have made in the last few days. The first is a tried and true cookie recipe that is (relatively speaking)…
Baked Chicken Curry with Carrot Raisin Chutney with Baby Potatoes with Panch Phoron on the Side
As I mentioned in my last post, we were just out of town and are about to go out of town again. These can be very frustrating days, cooking-wise, because I am not home long enough to want to go to the grocery store, and because we eat leftovers I am frequently off a day….
BBD #08: Babka for Dad
Whew! Sorry to have gone so long between posts. We have been out of town—and we are about to go out of town again, so I apologize in advance if my posts are a little far and few between. Things will calm down after next weekend. The really frustrating thing is I have at least…
Winter Squash and Tomatillo Soup
I went back and forth about whether to share this next soup with you guys. I served it with the Buttermilk Cornmeal Bread with Chiles and Cheddar, and that right there was probably half the problem—the bread just blew everything else at the meal out of the water. However the second problem was that same…
Buttermilk Cornmeal Bread with Fresh Chiles and Cheddar in Honor of International Women’s Day
As soon as I saw the International Women’s Day Food Blogging Event, hosted by 1x umruehren bitte aka kochtopf and fiordisale, I knew I wanted to participate. The requirement was to cook or bake something yellow in honor of the sprigs of bright yellow mimosa flowers which are given to women in some countries to…
Dorie Greenspan’s Allspice Crumb Muffins
We had a playdate this morning and so I made muffins. Of course I forgot to warn the other mom, so they had just eaten a snack, but oh well. I think baking for playdates was one of my favorite parts of having a regular playdate when we lived in PA. I will have to…
Animal Shelter Update: Big Temptations Removed (thank goodness!)
I finally got to go to the animal shelter today–first time I have gone alone in 2 weeks. I didn’t stay as long as I had originally planned–perhaps it is shallow of me, but I was determined to get to try my bread while it was still warm, and thanks to yesterday’s power outage John…
