The problem with strawberries is that (1) my grocery store never has the the really fresh-looking ones, and (2) they go bad so quickly. I bought a big carton of promising-looking berries last weekend, and three days later they were dark in patches, simultaneously shriveled and mushy, and giving off faintly alcoholic fumes. Mmm, over-ripe…read more »
Apple Cinnamon Baked Doughnuts
This past weekend, in order to celebrate the fact that we now officially own our condo, Dan and I invited some friends over for a housewarming brunch. Dan was in charge of the eggs and bacon, and I tried my hand at doughnuts. Doughnuts are usually fried, right? That’s a problem, because not only do…read more »
Cherry Peach Bread
A new day, a new Hannah Swensen recipe to reproduce in my kitchen. Today’s book was “Key Lime Pie Murder,” and it contained a delightful-sounding recipe for Peach Bread. My parents used to love eating my Cranberry Walnut Bread for breakfast, so I figured they might like to try another fruit-flavored loaf. In typical Tina-in-the-kitchen…read more »
Crepes with Nutella and Strawberries
Crepes and I have kind of a tense relationship. Back in junior year of high school, when I was young and inexperienced, I started “dating” a guy named Mike. I use quotes because I was 15, painfully awkward, and completely out of touch with my girly feelings — I had no idea how to deal…read more »
Eggs-in-a-Hole
Dan (on the phone): “What are you up to?” Me: “I’m making eggs in a hole.” Dan: “…why are you in a hole?” Me: “No, I’m making eggs in a hole. Like…cooking eggs inside a piece of bread.” Dan: “Weird.” Actually, eggs-in-a-hole aren’t weird at all! Super delicious, maybe, but not weird. And it’s really easy…read more »
Eggs Florentine with Avocado
I woke up this morning with the worst craving for eggs. Probably because it’s the weekend, and I’ve got brunch on the brain. Alas, going out for brunch was out of the question — I just got back from a spring break cruise and can’t afford to be spending any more $$$. Fortunately, eggs and…read more »
Banana Nutella-Swirl Muffins
Day fifty trillion of the Snowpocalypse. No work, no school, no where to go but the kitchen. Which is where I discovered that I had a bunch of bananas ripening far too quickly on top of the fridge. Mmm, mushy bananas. Time to smash them up and bake something nice! This post from Meet Me in the…read more »
Ooey Gooey Monkey Bread
With the Snowpocalypse shutting down the city (and law school!) for the third day running, I was stuck in my apartment with nothing to do. The snow-covered trees and buildings outside reminded me of frosting, and I just happened to have sugar, flour, butter and cream cheese, so . . . obviously I had to…read more »
