    blueberry crisp cookies

    It’s funny how many times I think I’ve come up with my own original recipe for something, only to do an internet search to see many other people have already done it! Oh well. It sort of makes me think of this song: So find something that you like and just do it. Even though…

    Today is Mother’s Day, After a fairly long streak of sunny days, the weather has taken a turn back to the more usual cloudy and gray day in Seattle. Which meant going back to the kitchen. Back to baking! The last few weeks have been challenging, to say the least, but I feel like I’m…

    I made it to Friday! I hope you did, too! Happy Fiesta, Folks! This week was very trying. Overall, not that much different from other weeks, except in the sleep department. As in, a lack of good quality sleep. Due mainly to the weather. It’s really a lot warmer here in Seattle, and I seem to…

    Hawaiian Bread French Toast

    This is what I had for breakfast. My sister came over and brought the french toast that she is starting to get a reputation for. She baked it off in our oven, and we had it with eggs and bacon. It was perfect. I think it’s based on this recipe, but with vanilla instead of…

  • Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake

    So glad I found this. I don’t know how many times I’ve had wilted blueberries sitting in a plastic box in my fridge. This is the perfect antidote, because you can’t tell they’ve wilted! Taken from Natalie Paramore’s amazing site here. Thanks for a great recipe, Natalie.   Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake 1 1/2 cups…
