For Your Health!

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

This is going to be a rather unusual post, one of those rare, non-sugary things that I come up with every once in a great while. Not only that, but it’s flat-out healthy, and came together out of a particularly successful spring trip to the Greenmarket.

Gray and Yellow

Hi! Remember me?
No?
…Reeeeally?
Maybe this will jog your memory.

The Spoils of Food Blogging

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

As much as I enjoy participating in the Daring Bakers, I do run into the same problem fairly frequently – I make some component for the challenge dessert and end up with much too much of whatever it is. This time, it was grapefruit marmalade.
Luckily, I only had to wonder what I was going to [...]

Humble Beginnings

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

This is the first post in what will be an occasional little project I’m starting on this blog. You see, as much as I love cupcakes and coming up with ways to make them weird and wonderful, I think I bake them too much. Certainly for someone who has been working at a REAL restaurant [...]

The Problem with Leftovers

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Well, not so much leftovers as bits of ingredients. A few egg whites here, a handful of walnuts there…
A bit of honey and a dash of cardamom later and I had some delicious, slightly exotic cookies. So what’s the problem?

The Law of Shortages

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Remember back in October when everyone was freaking out over the supposed pumpkin shortages? That was a little scary. I remember thinking to myself, “hm, better go get some pumpkin so I can make my annual pumpkin cupcakes, plus a little extra.” So I bought two cans. Because I am poor and have very little [...]

What Resolutions?

Friday, January 1st, 2010

You know what happens when you set out to make all kinds of ambitious, delicious, adorable little Christmas treats to send out to everyone, and all but one of them completely fails?
You remake them.
What do you do if you’re REALLY busy with school and life in general and don’t have the time to remake them [...]

Mull the Cold Away

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Recently I got an email from the radtastic people at POM Wonderful. Gee, I wonder why they chose NOW to email me? Could it be…*looks up at header* Hehe!
They wanted to send me some juice. And who am I to refuse sweet, tangy pomegranate juice?

Daring Bakers December 2009: Home for the Holidays

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

So! I still haven’t found the time or energy to really get a coherent blog post together (and the majority of my holiday goodies have been failing MISERABLY) and things aren’t looking good for January either (can you say nearly a month of exams and multi-day projects?) but the other bakers are a-posting. Since I’m [...]

In Which I Excitedly Throw Fruit at the Reader

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Well hello there. As you can see, I’m still a little…casual about updating the blog. Part of this is due to the ridiculously early darkness that prevents me from getting pictures on weekdays. Part is also due to the general feeling of “blaaahhhh I’m going back to bed” that the early darkness brings on in [...]
