I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals – especially on crazy weeknights when I’ve only got 30 minutes to get dinner on the table, and I don’t want to do a ton of washing up after. And since Tex-Mex is a favorite in our house, this skillet dinner is constantly […]
The very first Starbucks treat I ever fell in love with was their lemon currant scone. I went through a very heated, short-lived passionate affair with them in my college days before burning out. When I decided one day, years later, to rekindle that affair, they had already been discontinued. […]
I’m always looking for quick and easy lunch or dinner ideas – especially ones that use ingredients I already have on hand. I spend a lot of time cooking for the camera (and for my family), but when it comes to myself, I often reach for something simple and satisfying. […]

Weekends are for slow cooking. Especially rainy weekends like we’re having today. Since Mother Nature isn’t interested in outdoor BBQs right now, I’m bringing the outside indoors with this vegan take on a Smoky BBQ Brisket.

Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit by calling these “muffins”. The crumb is so light and soft and chocolatey, that it’s really hard to tell it apart from a chocolate cupcake. But in the absence of frosting (and the appearance of streusel, which is definitely a “muffin thing”), we’ll go […]
I’m a history buff and I have a love for all things vintage – especially when it comes to the kitchen. I’ve been collecting vintage cookbooks and retro kitchenware for years, so it’s no surprise that when I decided to write a dessert cookbook, I packed it full of modernized, […]
We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning – not enough to really stick (it’s all gone now), but enough to remind me that winter is on its way.Of course, as I’m typing this, I’m seeing the weather forecast will hit 60F again by Friday, but it’s […]
It’s been quite a week trying to get started with online school.Our school district had a huge spike in students switching from in-person to online classes, and not enough teachers to cover them, so we’ve been in a holding pattern with one child and a delayed start with the other […]
