Cinnamon Buns from Scratch

Cinnamon Buns from Scratch

It all started with a Facebook post from a friend sharing the Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Buns recipe. (Yes, Laurie, it’s all your fault!) I’ve wanted to make cinnamon buns for ages, but now I was downright obsessed. I studied the Pioneer Woman’s recipe and it looked yummy, but it made seven pans of buns and […]

Banana-Peanut-Chocolate-Coconut Super Cookie!

Banana-Peanut-Chocolate-Coconut Super Cookie!

So I saw this recipe on Facebook for a superhealthy cookie with mashed bananas as the base and I made them (substituting the raisins—blech!—with dried sour cherries—yum!). But they were…not that great. However, I really liked the concept, and I was determined to make them to the whole family’s liking.

Poached Eggs on Buttered Toast

Poached Eggs on Buttered Toast

Did you ever have a memory of food from your childhood that you simply had to re-create? Well, I have. And it took me years of experimenting (were the eggs fried?

The Joy of Buttered Eggs

The Joy of Buttered Eggs

I had never really thought or heard of buttered eggs until one day when I was reading a romance novel. It was Duchess by Night, by one of my favorite authors, Eloisa James. I think it started out as a suggestion to help someone sober up. Then it became a means to comfort a child. […]

Real Men, Women, and Kids Eat My Quiche

Real Men, Women, and Kids Eat My Quiche

It’s hard to remember what all the fuss was back then when real men wouldn’t eat quiche… Was it the name? The fact that there might be vegetables in it? Anyway, around that time, I made my first quiche, from the original Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook. Since then, I’ve made quite a few quiches, […]
