    These cookies are pretty awesome if I must say so myself. I have been making them for quite some time. They are super easy—even more so if you cut a few corners. If you have the ingredients on hand and are in need of a chocolate fix, these are perfect. You’ll be taking your first…

    This morning I decided that since Em is on his fourth round of antibiotics, we’d revisit the homemade pancake. He’s not supposed to have much wheat, but we let him have a little bit from time to time. One of the best things about this pancake recipe is they’re excellent on their own. Even my…

    This recipe is nothing amazing, but it sure beats spending an arm and a leg on pre-made pizza dough from the store. Plus, you get to control what goes into it. And I love controlling what goes into my baked goods. (HFCS, I’m talking to you.) What you will need Food processor Saran wrap Pizza stone (optional)…

    I know it isn’t really apple season, but I’m from Pennsylvania. Plus, I can’t think of too many smells more awesome than baking apples. This recipe is a two-parter, but don’t let that scare you. It’s really simply and each step can be broken up. What you will need: 2 -3 Ramekins (or something similar)…

    I discovered this recipe five or so years ago and I’ve been loosely following it ever since. These biscuits probably aren’t going to win any awards, but they sure do hit the spot! Clocking in at a 10 minute preparation and clean up time, you simply can’t beat the taste-time ratio. What You Will Need: Some type…

    Toby Joe and I attended a housewarming party over the weekend and I wanted to bring some cookies. I wanted something a little different but easy enough to accomplish while entertaining my son. I chose a rosemary butter cookie. I chose them because they said spring to me.  Today’s Mom It Down! recipe is taken…

    A few years ago, Toby Joe bought me The Pie and Pastry Bible. I’ve picked it up every now and again but I never really dug in. Rose Levy Beranbaum is outstanding, and her book is unbelievably informative, but as a SAHM I simply can’t come close to the level of perfection she recommends. I was always scared…

    Our new apartment has a pretty great kitchen. Especially when one compares it to the previous kitchen. As a result, we bake and cook at home more, which includes my baking all of our bread.  Up until recently, I never quite found the right recipe. The consistency was off (especially when it came to making…

    A few of you have emailed me asking about the vegan ice cream recipe I have. Tonight I’m giving vegan coconut ice cream a try. (The batter is currently chilling in the freezer.) I have high hopes for it, but who knows how it’ll turn out. Anyway, here’s the recipe I used: 5 cups coconut…

    I’m afraid of the tubed cans you open, you know, the ones that Pillsbury uses to house their extraordinarily nutritious treats. They scare me. I know they’re going to make a popping sound when I peel away the paper wrapping but I never know when this sound is going to take place. It scares me,…
