A while back, I came across a post on Simply Recipes for a Carrot Cake that looked delicious, and when I received carrots in my FFTY this week, I decided to give it a try. Which is just as well, since Miss Thing was threatening to revolt if I made Glazed Carrots again. It’s also [...]

Last night, Mr. Man and I were having a discussion about snacks – and how ever since I went on this whole homemade kick there haven’t been very many in the house besides sweets. In my defense, I really like baking sweets, and everyone seems to enjoy eating them, but Mr. Man was craving something [...]

When I was young, my mom would sometimes make “homemade” (cough) pizza made from one of those box mixes (chef boyardee? I think?) I always liked it because unlike when we ordered pizza (on the cheap – single mom, donchyaknow – money was tight) we could always put as much topping on it as we [...]

So Mr. Man had been bugging me to make him some bread, since it’d been a couple of days… (my failed attempt at sourdough does not count…) Although I have my tried and true bread recipe that I posted a few weeks ago, I was in the mood to try something different. When I came [...]

Last time I was at Costco, they had a big batch of beautiful Meyer Lemons, which was wonderful, because Meyer lemons are my absolute favorite citrus (evar) and so, despite the fact that I had a crisper drawer full of regular lemons (and limes!) I picked them up and brought them home. Unfortunately, there they [...]

As you may have noticed, we’ve been doing some work redesigning the website a little bit today. Mr. Man has busily been working on getting advertising up and running, as well as new widgets and tools that will enable me to customize things myself a little bit, given how his time is so limited right [...]

These Scones came out really incredible – I might have to make a batch for the Meet on Friday – that is if I’m not inspired to make something else before then. I usually don’t have quick-cooking oats on hand, but last time I ran out of Rolled Oats and bought some more, I accidently [...]

The rain came back again today, which made me sad, but fortunately I had a lot of things to keep me busy today that helped distract me from the doom and gloom. (I like my rain in very small doses – the last several weeks have been way overdose). Anyhow, the reason I was so [...]

I’ve been making a lot of dishes lately that just called for egg yolks, and so I’ve ended up with quite the bounty of egg whites. I looked around for different things I could do with egg whites, and eventually decided to try out making Pavlova. I’ve never had it before, so I’m not sure [...]

Yesterday, the sun finally came out after many days of rain and I finally felt like I could dry off for a little while. In celebration, I ran some errands I’d been putting off during the rain – including a trip to Costco. While I was there, I was sorely tempted by their bakery’s whole [...]
