Let’s get clear on one thing. I am many things, but a baker ain’t one of ’em. I try. I look at all these beautiful cobblers, and tartes and galettes and i swoon over them. but when i go to put the whisk to the flour, I often fumble. I could tell you it’s because…

Bunny Pancakes
Here’s the thing. When you have a niece as sassy and awesome and cute as mine, you HAVE to make pink bunny pancakes because you will literally win the rockstar aunt away for at least a day. and hearing her peals of laughter and giddiness at the sight of them is more satisfaction than the…
Pretzel Bites with Quick Cheese Dip
Salt. Cheese. Bread. Oh hello Julie Andrews, yes, these are a few of my favorite things. I want to swan dive into this bowl. That is a rarity for me too. I don’t indulge in these types of foods all that often, but if you know me well, you know my devotion to pretzel runs…

Thanksgiving Sheaf Bread
i’m a lot of things, but today, timely isn’t one of them. let’s chat about thanksgiving – a recap of sorts. well, i ate, drank, slept a little, and then opened more wine. my mom and i cooked up a storm so my sister opened champagne because my mom and i tend to cook differently…
