Eggs Chesapeake

March 18, 2012 21 Comments

You know, I really thought that being alone with the cats for four days would be kind of boring and lonely, but so far it’s been pretty great. I’ve completely caught up on sleep, been to the movies, satisfied my craving for lobster rolls, spent an entire guilt-free afternoon shopping at Crate & Barrel and…read more »

Nutty Nutella Banana Bread

February 23, 2012 Leave a Comment

So I’ve been told that today is National Banana Bread Day. This is the first time I’ve heard of this “holiday”, but I’m more than happy to celebrate. I love banana bread! It was one of the first things I learned how to bake as a kid — I still remember cutting the recipe out of my Sunday comics one…read more »

Brioche Buns

September 22, 2011 5 Comments

Guys, making bread is hard. Or maybe I’m just really bad at it. Either way, my dough just doesn’t rise the way it’s supposed to. Either my yeast is sluggish, or I’m killing them. I could swear I did everything right this time, though — I let the yeast percolate in warm sugar water…I didn’t use…read more »

Triple Chocolate Loaf Cake

September 20, 2011 2 Comments

For once, I don’t have a back story to explain my motivation for making this cake. And, I can’t think of any anecdotes associated with either chocolate or loaf cake. I just really wanted something sweet and chocolate-y to go with my turkey sandwich. (BTW, I have balcony furniture now! You like?) Luckily, I had…read more »

Apple Streusel Muffins

September 15, 2011 17 Comments

  Did you guys know that it’s September already? The middle of September? That means that summer is practically over, and fall is just around the corner. Man, where does the time go? I feel like I just barely got used to wearing skirts and shorts outside, yet my tan is already fading and I have…read more »

Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

September 1, 2011 9 Comments

My friend Mark came over for lunch yesterday. He’s a fantastic cook. During law school he was constantly whipping up delicious treats in his kitchen and bringing them to class. You’d think all that cooking would be a distraction during school, but he was also acing all his classes, teaching legal research and writing to…read more »

Blueberry Muffins

August 30, 2011 8 Comments

I woke up this morning with the most intense craving for a gigantic blueberry muffin. You know, one of those sugar-crusted monstrosities from Costco that’s packed to bursting with fat blueberries. Those things are so bad for you, but they’re so delicious! They’re really just dessert masquerading as breakfast. (Which is fine by me —…read more »

Zucchini Bread

July 18, 2011 5 Comments

This past weekend a bunch of us piled into Dan’s tiny Mazda and headed into the boonies of Virginia for some good old fashioned fruit picking. The original plan was to pick peaches and blackberries, but once we got to the farm, we realized they had a whole lot more to offer than just those…read more »

Dulce de Leche-Nutella Swirl Loaf Cake

June 26, 2011 6 Comments

There are still a few things Dan and I need to do to fully recover from our Great Beach Robbery — getting new driver’s licenses, for example — but everything is closed on Sundays, so we’ve been having a pretty lazy day so far. We slept in until the hungry meows of our kitties could…read more »

Caramel-Whiskey Banana Bread

April 29, 2011 2 Comments

I was going to make pate a choux last night, but on my way to the pantry to grab flour, I was stopped in my tracks by the scent of fermented fruit. Again? I just finished those frickin’ strawberries! Have they come back to haunt me? Further investigation led to the discovery of two very…read more »
