Timers? Sweets? Huzzah! Sour cherry maple muffins

Timers? Sweets? Huzzah! Sour cherry maple muffins

Although I do from time to time dream of the day when I’ll set a grand table and serve a Norman Rockwell-inspired meal amidst oohs and ahs from family and friends, most of the dishes and desserts that come from our kitchen are served to a gracious though not unusually enthusiastic audience — until last…

A tale of time and taste: Sour cherry cream cheese coffee cake

A tale of time and taste: Sour cherry cream cheese coffee cake

Some recipes are wonderfully simple and can be whipped up in a flash. You don’t really have to plan for them (aside from having the ingredients), they’re easy enough to make while your mind juggles other matters, and you can mix them up in the time it takes for your toddler to pull out everything…

Like living in a pancake: Maple yogurt pound cake

Like living in a pancake: Maple yogurt pound cake

Imagine waking up to the smell of maple permeating from all corners of the room. It’s faint enough to not overwhelm you but strong enough to conceal the slow-cooked curry next door. As you roll out of bed and greet the morning (a bit bouncier than usual, of course, as maple is a wonderful incentive…

Pretty in pictures, lovely in words: Orange and cranberry fairy buns

Pretty in pictures, lovely in words: Orange and cranberry fairy buns

When I’m cruising Pinterest or flipping through cookbooks or magazines, it’s usually the photos that pull me toward a recipe. I consider myself a writer much more so than a photographer or baker, so I do feel a bit shameful in admitting that I’m so easily influenced by visuals first and words second, but when…

Are we pastry, or are we baked good? Strawberry banana muffins

Are we pastry, or are we baked good? Strawberry banana muffins

I think the world would be a better place if everyone ate more muffins. Have you ever been upset while eating a muffin? Or if you were upset when you started, were you upset by the time you finished? Probably not. And if you were, you probably just got a bad one. Muffins could be…

Rise of the Monday: Asparagus and egg bake

Rise of the Monday: Asparagus and egg bake

Oh, Monday, you poor little thing. You’re always so punctual, always predictable. Never once have you forgotten an appointment or stood us up simply because you were too tired, cranky or preoccupied. And how do we repay you? Too often, it’s with grumbling and complaining I’m afraid. The truth is, you deserve better. And better…

We will be morning people: Cinnamon pumpkin oatmeal

We will be morning people: Cinnamon pumpkin oatmeal

Years from now, when we’re 30-something grownups with real(er) jobs, our own house and a hopping household, I envision our mornings going something like this: 6 a.m.: The alarm clock rings. Jared and I awaken, alert and well rested after eight (yes, eight!) consecutive hours of sleep. 6-7 a.m.: I go for a run, Jared…

Voice for the misunderstood: Prune coffee cake

Voice for the misunderstood: Prune coffee cake

Consider the following correspondence, unearthed from an archive of never-been-printed-but-could-have-changed-the-culinary-world-as-we-know-it advice columns:  Dear Abby, Lately we’ve been feeling quite misunderstood. Every time we try to make new friends, we’re met with crinkled noses and rejection. Is it us? Are we not sweet enough? Not pretty enough? People love our smaller cousins; they’re always invited to…

Recipes for naptime: Lemon vanilla bean muffins

Recipes for naptime: Lemon vanilla bean muffins

Nearly any parent will tell you this: Naptime is the golden hour. Actually, if you’re lucky, it’s the golden couple of hours. Before becoming a mom myself, I thought the parents who pointed this out were a little too snarky for their own good. That’s probably because before becoming a parent, I felt much more…

Lessons from a do-over: Banana tea muffins

Lessons from a do-over: Banana tea muffins

I’ve learned a lot of lessons in the kitchen over the past few years. No. 1: Wait until the immersion blender is in the soup before turning it on. No. 2: Serrated knives are great for cutting chocolate. No. 3: Never underestimate the power of parchment paper. And No. 4: Don’t freak out when it…
