So I know I’ve been slow on updating lately — I promise I have good excuses! One of them is that I’m currently writing a “How to Bake” series that will hopefully be released in the next week or two. This is one of the harder posts I’ve written because I’ve been researching my heart […]
Geez, this summer flew by fast! It’s unbelievable that some schools have already begun the Fall Semester and here I am, graduated and wondering what to do with myself now that I will never walk into a university again. (I know, I know. You’re probably saying, “never say ‘never,’ Hope.” So maybe it isn’t never but […]
It seems like only yesterday that I was picking blueberries with my friend. And now, sadly, the season is over! Fortunately, there was still had a good amount of blueberries left in my freezer to make Cobalt yet another birthday pie! (aaand two years ago) I used my recipe for Easy Oil Crust from an Apple Pie […]
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 […]
If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you may have noticed my recent obsession with Jamie Oliver. Well, in actuality I’ve been fixated on his passionate vision for several years now but incidentally put it on the shelf for a couple dozen moons until a certain YouTube search for “Jamie Oliver 30-minute-meals” brought my attention to […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m super picky when it comes to cake. Especially chocolate cake. You see, the reason I’m devoted more to brownies is because they’re fudgier… if they’re made right, that is. Oddly, red velvet is the only chocolate cake I like. On second thought, perhaps its the cream cheese icing enveloping […]
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 the process requires a lot of planning. If only there was a recipe for quick bread…But wait–there is! In walks Irish Soda Bread… This bread takes at most 20 minutes to assemble, and 1 hour to bake. A perfect bread to whip up last minute when you have company over. Like […]
If you haven’t figured it out by now, I love peanut butter! I’ll stir it into oatmeal, yogurt fruit dip, pasta, granola bites and smoothies! This cookie recipe I made the other day was originally an oatmeal chocolate chip recipe but I — of course — modified it to go with the ingredients that I […]
