After too many days of packing, moving boxes and settling into our summertime abode, I’ve come to one conclusion: Moving (even the temporary, just-for-the-summer kind) is exhausting. The exhaustive nature of all this moving business has been pretty clear in our kitchen since sometime around the end of April, when we started trying to eat…
Project NYT: Lemon sablés — everyone needs some sparkle
It’s hot. It’s humid. I’m on another lemon kick. You know that feeling when you walk into the bathroom not long after someone else in the house took a super hot shower? That’s how Missouri feels in the summertime. Hot. Steamy. Ooph. If you’re a hot-and-sticky summertime fan, then you’re probably gearing up for three…
Project NYT: Lemon bars
I’ve spent a good many years making lemon bars from the basic box mix that you find at the grocery store, the ones with the light, cookie-like crust and the sort of spongy lemony middles. I know they’re nothing to write home about; they’ve never been the kind of dessert that makes my taste buds…
Project NYT: Blueberry Pie with Lattice Top
A lot of people have buckets lists when it comes to things they want to do or accomplish in their lifetimes: skydiving, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, those sorts of must-dos. Although I haven’t put together an official life bucket list (I have no desire to go skydiving, though climbing a mountain might be…
Peach torte: It’s peachy keen.
Jared took this photo of our peach torte before we each enjoyed a slightly larger than generous piece yesterday. After seeing the photo for the first time, I told him I think it looks like it came straight off the menu at Perkins, to which he said he wasn’t sure if that was a compliment…
A belated bit of British business: Blueberry scones
The night before the Royal Wedding rolled around at the end of last month, I went to bed with good intentions of a morning mixed with dress watching and scone making. But truth be told, 4 a.m. is early, and when the alarm (a.k.a. my little sister) woke me up for the big event, it…
Somebunny loves cookies: Icing 101
There was a lot more cookie business happening at our place over Easter weekend, and even though the holiday has come and gone, I thought you might get a kick out of taking a peek at my icing escapades of late. Around Valentine’s Day this year, I watched an episode of the Martha Stewart Show…
Easter is for chicks
Last summer when my family was visiting my grandma in Wisconsin, we stopped into a little Mennonite store just a few miles from her house. It’s a pretty great place, and I can’t believe we went so many years without realizing it was even there. Stocked with everything you need to get your baking on…
Project NYT: Lemon cake
I’m attracted to recipes for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it’s a certain ingredient that I’ve been itching to use. Sometimes it’s a slew of ingredients (a.k.a. whatever foods in my refrigerator need to be eaten ASAP) that convinces me to try something new. And sometimes it’s a new method of preparation that lures…
I scream, you scream
Last week, I received a package from one of Jared’s grandmas that was filled to the brim with goodies: chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, Reese’s Pieces, Heath Bar chunks, almonds and more. Basically, it’s one giant excuse to do a whole bunch of baking. Don’t mind if I do. Well a few days later, Jared…
