Fear not! For I am here to answer your questions. It all started when I got back from my break in [...]

This is the second recipe from my little Childhood Recipe Series. I got it from another American Girls Cookbook, this time from Samantha Parkington‘s . In the series, Samantha is a girl living in the turn of the century. She is an orphan living with her grandmother (whom she calls Grandmary) in an upper-class household. [...]

Or, my Halloween costume. There is a story behind these muffins. It was 7pm last Friday, on the night before Halloween. I had a party to attend but no idea what to dress as. The night before I had gone to a bar/club thing with some friends dressed as a Moulin Rouge/Can Can dancer, but [...]

When I was a child, I was enamored of the kitchen. I always used to ask my mother if I could help her cook dinner, and I was always very annoyed when she told me I could make the salad. The salad? I would think. A salad is not cooking. I wanted to use the [...]

I love homemade ice cream. I also love to make ice cream, because I can do whatever I want, however I want, whenever I want. Peach ice cream? You got it! Chocolate custard? You betcha! Caramel swirl with m&ms, chocolate chips and peanuts? Why not? Dooooo iiiiiit. The only problem is that I don’t have [...]
Recipe: Clafouti Cutie!
Posted in breakfast, dessert, for veggies, recipes to impress, snackies on June 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A clafouti is a French custard/cake-y dessert baked with fresh fruit. According Wikipedia (which is my handbook for life) the traditional fruit is cherries, though I decided to use plums because my mom has a tree and I am inundated with them. Santa rosa plums are taking over my LIFE! This recipe is a bit [...]
Recipe: Ricotta Cake
Posted in breakfast, dessert, tagged easy, easy dessert, healthy, italian, ricotta, simple dessert on June 19, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Original recipe by Mario Batali (I modified ingredients slightly). I had no idea that ricotta cake existed, but apparently it does, because here it is! This was extremely easy to make. You basically just mix everything together and throw it into the oven. BAM! (Sorry, Emeril.) You’re supposed to use a cake pan, but I [...]

Today is National Doughnut Day, which is pretty awesome. Every year I find out about more semi-obscure holidays extolling the virtues of all kinds of foods. Examples: National Popcorn Day, National Pie Day, National Candied Orange Peel Day, and National Cherries Jubilee Day. You should go look around on that website. There is a celebration [...]
Recipe: Olive Oil Pound Cake with Lemon and Rosemary

A few weeks ago I started carrying a notebook on me, so I could write down ideas when they came to me. I don’t remember where I was when I thought of making a pound cake with olive oil, but the idea popped into my head fully-formed–”olive oil pound cake”! Brilliant, I thought. I think [...]
Recipe: Buttermilk Biscuits and Maple Cream

Sorry about the Friday debacle. I totally did not intend for this delay to happen, I usually just assume I will have computer access wherever I go. I should probably stop assuming things. I’m going to admit that I made these biscuits as a vehicle for the maple cream that is to come. Not that [...]
