Ah, blueberry season. What a wonderful time of the year! Today my friend Rachael and I drove out to a Georgia farm to pick 2 gallons each of sweet, juicy blueberries. 2 1/2 hours later we succeeded. It was a nice time to catch up and enjoy the beautiful weather we Tennesseans have been having […]
If you’ve been following me on instagram, you may have noticed that I recently posted a picture collage of my recent attempt making zucchini bread. Well, here is the recipe, finally, with some real DSLR pictures (I really need to stop using my phone for blog pics…) and some new dishes! :D I found a […]
The inspiration for these lemon muffins came from the fact I bought 2 1-lbs bags of lemons for $2 at Aldi — they were on SUPAH SALE. I don’t think that I’ve ever seen lemons this cheap before! (Usually lemons are 50 cents each. Makes sense, though considering they are travelling across the country…. #nonlocalfoodismoreexpensive. ) […]
I love bread. But dag-nap-it, the process takes so long! If only there was a recipe for quick bread…. But wait–there is! Never fear–Irish Soda Bread is here! This bread takes at most 20 minutes to assemble, and 1 hour to bake. Emphasis: NO KNEADING REQUIRED. :) Sound too good to be true? Try it […]

I don’t know about you all but I am pretty convinced that Christmas this year sneaked up a little more sneakily than in the past. Seems like yesterday that Cobalt and I were cruising across the country, exploring deserts and cities we’d never ventured to before. Also doesn’t seem long ago that we shared our […]
Ever since my mom taught me how to bake my own bread I’ve avoided buying it from the store. Not only does homemade bread TASTE better but it’s such a joy to make. Having the opportunity to add whatever ingredients I want to it–aside from the basic recipe–and actually to be AWARE of what ingredients are in it!…to touch the dough, to shape it, to […]
Yesterday I had a hankering for oatmeal raisin cookies. Remembering that I had a recipe stored on my food blog, I looked it up. Scanning through the ingredients to see what I had that matched up, I noticed three tiny problems: #1) I only had one stick of butter, not two. #2) I didn’t have any eggs. #3) […]
Whether you celebrated with a significant other, a best friend, or your family, I hope that everyone had a lovely Valentines Day! Cobalt and I didn’t do anything special this year like we have the past two years while we were dating and engaged (respectively). We really prefer not to brave the crowds when we don’t […]
Around Christmas, Kathy Patalsky posted a recipe for Pumpkin Cranberry Loaf on her blog. Having leftover pumpkin from a recipe, I endeavored to give hers a try. I didn’t make it vegan, and I reduced the sugar and used apple butter instead of oil…but it was pretty delicious!! Cobalt and I toasted the bread and […]
