When your kid has impromptu gum surgery on the kitchen counter, and that kid is Sammy and the next day is the first day of school, chances are she is going to school, surgery-be-damned. And chances are you are going to leave a lot of instructions with both her teacher and the nurse for all…
Tongass Forest Cookies
One week ago I was mourning the end of summer, dreading my kids going back to school. Everything felt tight and panicky, like I had not appreciated my kids enough and needed to spend every waking moment with them. Oh the difference a week can make.
Streuseled Carrot Bread (The Leftovers Club)
I have noticed a common theme to the second half of summer since my kids started school. Baking. Lots of baking. At the start of the summer, everyone is just excited to be out of school (well not Sammy, but that is a different matter), and excited to be doing summery things, like swimming, camp,…
Flourless, No Butter Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Chips, Reese’s Pieces and Oats
Guys! I have been married 10 years! Turning 30 did not phase me. 40 is coming soon and I feel pretty unbothered. But for some reason, realizing that I have been married for 10 years really makes me feel way too grown up! The funny part about it is, I did not even realize. John…
Coconut Lime Cookies
Guys I am so excited! I have the BEST new toy! The perfect set up for any technologically savvy cook/baker who is obsessed with working in the kitchen to her favorite tunes. HUGE thanks to my wonderful hubby and parents, who also chipped in as an early birthday present.
Salted Vanilla Oatmeal Cookies/Review of Pure Vanilla
I think by now regular readers of this blog know that I prefer thick, crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside cookies. So it should come as no surprise that these cookies were a huge hit by virtue of their texture alone. That their flavor is absolutely amazing just makes them that much…
Citrus Scented Blueberry Buckle
I mentioned earlier that while I was on Flagyl I was unable to consume any alcohol, not even vanilla extract. But as I felt better, I was desperate to bake something. Have you ever tried baking without vanilla (I did not have any alternatives, like beans or paste, available)? It is really hard! I finally…
Salted Browned Butter Honey and Oat Cookies
When I was growing up, my grandparents lived within easy driving distance of my home. My maternal grandpa and grandma, whom I have written about here before, lived 45 minutes away in the country. My dad’s parents lived around the outer belt in a different suburb of Columbus. I was very close to both of my grandmothers,…
Sweet Chocolate Flecked Muffins and Savory Tomato and Olive Muffins: Baking with Kids
This post is a little bittersweet. These muffins were baked back in mid-August (yes I am that behind); both kids helped a bit with the savory muffins, but much to Sammy’s frustration, Alex made the sweet muffins on her own (with my supervision). I explained to Sammy that she and I would have all year…
