We moved. All is well. I’m baking again.

We moved. All is well. I’m baking again.

Moving. Ooph. Last week, our little family made the 1,000-mile trek from our home in Missouri to our new digs in North Carolina. That meant two days of driving our caravan of vehicles, one three-car trailer filled with all our worldly possessions and four straight mornings of pre-5 o’clock wake-up calls. Thankfully, Jared’s dad helped…

Rising against the elements: Homemade cream puffs

Oh, happy day! I’m currently floating on a cloud of baking loveliness, one that could only be born from the kind of butter-induced euphoria that springs from a modest mound of dough that rises into something perfectly light and miraculously fluffy. This week, on a 93-degree day loaded with humidity, I tackled homemade cream puffs….

Pretty desserts can be trusted: Raspberry custard cups

We’ve all heard age-old adages like “Beauty is only skin deep,” “You can’t judge a book by its cover” and “It’s what’s on the inside that counts.” Sage words, no doubt. But in the wonderful world of sweeteries (the dessert realm, for those who aren’t sure of my made-up jive), I’m not afraid to say…

Cup of Joe — à la mode, please

Cup of Joe — à la mode, please

Last Saturday, I received an email from my mother-in-law notifying me that Sunday, July 17 was National Ice Cream Day. Yep, a whole day dedicated to the consumption of my all-time favorite dessert. Sounds pretty great, right? She wanted to know what kind of ice cream I was planning to make for the occasion, but…

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Don’t tease the underdog: Fettuccine with eggplant

Eggplants are inherently funny little guys. They grow in the garden along with all the other squash-like things — think zucchinis, summer squash, cucumbers and the like — but they’re slightly stranger, quite a bit tougher and decidedly less popular because they look a bit too different. Actually they remind me of little Rudolph at…

It’s OK to be a picky eater

It’s OK to be a picky eater

Utter the phrase, “We’re trying to eat healthfully,” and you’re bound to be hit by an onslaught of advice and opinions on what your new health-conscious diet must entail. Low carbs. High protein. Raw foods. No red meat. Seriously, health crazes can be harder to keep up with than fashion trends (slap bracelet, anyone?). But…
