It is such a beautiful day outside, and the weather is supposed to stay like this for a while. I love spring time. It makes me feel like we will be at the beach in no time at all- which of course is a wonderful and horrifying thought all at the same time. Everything is […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! We had a debate this morning at work whether or not you had to be Irish to participate in St. Patrick’s day. Clearly, only the people who were not wearing green thought that their non Irish lineage made them exempt which was ignored completely. And, despite the rain and cold and […]
When it is someone’s birthday at the Library Society where I work, we all sign a card and pretend that it is not their birthday until about 12:30 when we assemble for cake and then finally say happy birthday to said person. It is kind of funny since there are only about 8 of us […]
For some reason this year, I don’t feel like Valentine’s Day has been hyped or celebrated (at least in my family) at all. Maybe it is because of yet another fake snow storm that closed schools and bridges Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe it is because Corby’s birthday is this weekend, and I am focused more […]

Posted in Breads, Breakfast, Cooking, Desserts, Dinner, Fun on Feb 11th, 2014
I feel very fortunate to be able to eat wheat or flour or whatever it is that causes people Celiac disease, and I have not had much experience with eating or cooking gluten free. However, after spending some time with friends who suffer from Celiac disease, I thought I should add some gluten free recipes […]
As this is a baking blog, I am not sure if I have mentioned my preferences in alcohol. I like beer. Light beer. Ultra light beer. That’s about it. I will occasionally drink red wine and perhaps a glass of champagne, but I have never enjoyed liquor. I, of course, tried shots of liquor in […]
I think I have said this before, and it should really come as no surprise since I am in love with baking and desserts, but I have a ridiculous sweet tooth. This attribute fortunately did not get passed down to my son Walker. He likes candy, but he could really go either way on it. […]
Everyone has been talking about this Polar Vortex that is causing the ridiculous cold all over the place. It is something crazy like -15 degrees in New York- here is a picture of my adorable niece on her way to school. It is 20 degrees in Charleston today and it feels like 9. And compared […]
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I feel like I have been eating non stop this holiday season, and it has been wonderful. We spent Saturday night with a bunch of friends and one of the many yummy nibbles served were Rolo pretzel bites. Such a simple yet awesome snack- salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy- […]
I have always wondered about figgy pudding- what is it? I do very much like the line in the Christmas carol about it, demanding figgy pudding is just kind of funny to me. So, of course, I googled it, and while I don’t think it will make it into the holiday repertoire of traditions, it […]
