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.

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010Daring Bakers April 2010: Steamed Pudding
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010The April 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Esther of The Lilac Kitchen. She challenged everyone to make a traditional British pudding using, if possible, a very traditional British ingredient: suet.
I wasn’t terribly excited about this challenge at first, and didn’t bother with the whole suet thing, choosing instead to substitute butter (of course). [...]
Red Varrrrrrlvet
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I postulated about a month or so ago that I wondered if one could make red velvet mochi cake. I have absolutely no idea why this popped into my head (I’m not even really a fan of red velvet) but I decided it would be worth a try. How hard could it be? A little [...]
The Law of Shortages
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Remember 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 [...]
Ps & Qs
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I am totally in love with the Union Square Green Market. Well, not every day. Some days I don’t find anything inspiring and all the tourists and snobs there (standing in my way) just make me angry. But other days…
I find exactly what I’ve been looking for. Like a gigantic crate of quince. Or a [...]
Pumpkin Cupcakes, Part 2
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009If you like these cupcakes, please vote for them in this month’s Cupcake Hero competition!
These might look a little familiar to anyone who has bothered to read ALL the way back on this blog…back to when the pictures were horrible instead of slightly-less-than-horrible…
Now in Glorious Color
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009One of the few – VERY few – things I miss about Maine is my parents’ garden. There’s nothing like veggies fresh from the garden to make dinner awesome.
Chewy Inspiration
Thursday, September 17th, 2009Like most people who are strangely addicted to making up recipes and experimenting in the kitchen, I occasionally get hit hard by inspiration. So hard that an idea doesn’t even make it into my notebook.
Changing Seasons
Monday, September 7th, 2009I know it’s only started to cool down outside, but fall is undeniably coming. For some people, this is a huge relief. Others are kicking and screaming as they cook out one last time this holiday weekend and try to catch a few final rays at the beach. Though I’m not much of a cooker-outer [...]
A la Mode
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009After I made rhubarb pie, along with what I considered to be a very disappointing attempt at a fruity ice cream (though it went very well with the pie), I got to thinking what other ice cream flavors would be nice with rhubarb pie.
Strawberry ice cream is the obvious answer, but when have I ever [...]
