Blueberry Lemon Cookies with White Chocolate Chunks

I’ve been staring at a blinking cursor for a while, frustrated. A friend suggested the weather was to blame (actually what she said was I should tell you that I was going to crawl back in bed and stay there til the spring thaw) and I think maybe she is not too far off. It…

Peach and Blueberry Bundt Cake with Sparkling Wine

I mentioned the other day how much I am loving re-discovering Veronica Mars. Well apparently I am really loving it because it is 10:56 pm on August 1 and this post is due to go live at midnight August 2. Ooops. Guess I totally forgot about it while my brain was lost in Neptune, CA.

#BundtaMonth: Lemon Mint Rhubarb Breakfast Bundt Cake with Blueberries

May 8, 2013 By Laura 21 Comments

Every May I feel unprepared for the insane spring fever. My husband, as a matter of fact, does not believe spring fever is real. I told him he needed to volunteer some in the school right now. I’ve had to pull out my Mom Voice more than once reading to Alex’s class in the library….

Citrus Scented Blueberry Buckle

Citrus Scented Blueberry Crumble

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…

Blueberry Crisp Parfait

July 28, 2012 By Laura 7 Comments

I am willing to buy certain fruits and veggies year round. Maybe because they are only available from far away (citrus, anything tropical), they are not grown in abundance locally (broccoli) or they are so necessary either in the winter (onions, peppers, garlic) or for specific preparations (galangal, lemongrass).
