I was secretly happy that this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project didn’t actually involve any baking. My life right now consists primarily of commuting to San Francisco for my culinary school externship, spending the bulk of the day at said externship (at the fabulous Bar Tartine), and recovering from time spent on my feet moving, [...]

My first thought when this recipe came up on the Baked Sunday Mornings schedule was “meh, another banana bread”. Always full of promise, but it rarely delivers. This recipe had one thing going for it – honey. I’m crazy about honey, and I especially like to bake with it. After careful consideration, I decided to [...]
I barely squeaked by for this week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project. I originally planned to make these for dessert on Valentine’s Day, but schedules intervened and Lacy Panty Cakes had to wait. They were calling to me when I woke up yesterday morning. I convinced Larry to run out for graham crackers and had the [...]
I first had this bacon at a brunch at Cheryl‘s house. Mmm, bacon, I thought. I like bacon. Then I took a bite. And another, and another, and then several slices later, I finally asked her what sort of addictive drug she had added to it. Cayenne pepper and brown sugar. That’s it. Practically the [...]
I can’t decide if these muffins qualify as sweet or savory. Sweet muffins are the type that you want for breakfast. Savory are more dinner fare. These are good anytime of the day, if you ask me. There’s a bit of chopped pistachios on top of the muffin, but there are also pulverized nuts added [...]
My Best of 2012 list was long and difficult to narrow down. Larry and I had a spirited discussion about what made the cut and what didn’t. At the end, we were left with eleven items that needed to be on our final favorites list. There was a lot of good food last year, though. [...]
Thanksgiving is as much about the turkey and all the traditional side dishes as it is about the leftovers. My preference is for a classic turkey sandwich – good bread, lots of mayo. Larry will eat some variation of Thanksgiving for days, but this year he spotted a recipe for a strata that he thought [...]
These grits are supposedly breakfast food, but I made them right around dinnertime on a night I didn’t have any other dinner planned. Both Larry and I had other places to go, so I ate some straight out of the pan, standing up, then got some manners and put some in a bowl. I don’t [...]
I like these scones. For something peanut butter, that is. They’re kind of craggy and rustic, and very hearty. And different – I’ve never seen a scone recipe like this. It’s one of the reasons I love the Baked books. The recipe calls for chunky peanut butter, and there’s even a recipe for chunky peanut [...]
There are waffles, and then there are Pam Anderson’s Light & Crispy Waffles. Pam made up a whopping batch of her waffles for the crowd at Big Summer Potluck in July. They were amazing. Light as air on the inside, perfectly crispy on the outside. And flavorful. I wanted to eat a lot of them. [...]
