The winter blues are affecting my cooking. Everything seems hard. My friend sent me a link for a pie that had at least five different parts. I told her I was tired just looking at it. And yet here I am, sharing a recipe with you that has multiple parts. The thing is, only...
Pizza is definitely one of my favorite things to make (and eat, for that matter). I make my own dough which, though pretty simple, is an extra step in the process. I love veggie pizzas so I usually have some work to do for the toppings as well (sauteeing mushrooms, roasting eggplant, etc.). Making...
I’m a little resentful of the powerful role that photography plays in today’s cooking. If I search a recipe on Pinterest, the results I’m most likely to click on are the crisp, bright, professional looking ones. Occasionally I’ll look over the recipe on the site I get sent to only to realize it’s poorly written,...
My daughter calls these “crunchy” and while they were in the house she’d ask me about every five minutes, “Mom can I please have another crunchy?”. I made a 9×13 of these for NYE and over the course of the afternoon we ate half. Half. Half of the 9×13.

These egg spirals are different from anything I’ve seen out there and I make them almost every time I have someone over for brunch/breakfast. Being a balanced eater means when I eat something sweet/baked, I’d also like something savory/full...
I loved raisin bran as a teenager; I’d graduated from the sugary stuff and felt quite healthy and mature eating a cereal that touted nutrition. While meandering the organic aisle one day at the grocery store I saw a Bob’s Red Mill bag of “wheat bran”, which is the outer shell of the wheat kernel,...
I like spaghetti squash – it sort of astounds me. It’s amazing that you cook a normal looking winter squash and you end up with golden strands of spaghetti. I bought one at my farmer’s market and for whatever reason, it sat on my countertop for weeks. There are a hundred easy ways to...
