Fresh Strawberry Pie

May 25, 2017 10 Comments

One of my favorite childhood memories is of my parents taking me strawberry picking in Texas. No idea where…Corpus Christi? Houston? Unclear. All I know is that it was one of those places where the strawberry plants were grown stacked on top of each other, so the rows of plants (each plant loaded with ripe berries) towered…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 »

Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Cake

Dan is a picky eater.  Do you know how hard it is to cook for a picky eater? Really hard!  So when I find something that he likes, I tend to latch onto it and go nuts.  For example, he really likes lemon and blueberry flavored sweets — so far I’ve made him lemon tarts,…read more »

Reine De Saba (Chocolate and Almond Cake)

Another day, another Julia Child recipe. I’ve wanted to make this particular cake since I saw it on Julie & Julia.  In the movie, Julie Powell makes it for her husband and it’s so good that he just eats it by the handful, rubbing it all over his face in ecstasy — that’s gotta be…read more »

First Ever Dinner Party

Happy early Valentine’s Day/Chinese New Year, everyone! In honor of these two special holidays, the boyfriend and I decided to host our first official, true blue, not-just-booze-and-snacks, dinner party. “Firsts” are always an exciting event, and we were eager to start out strong.  Unfortunately, by the time we got around to cooking, we were running…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 »

Easy Veggie Pizza

Ah, Superbowl Sunday. A day of feasting on fat things — chips, dips, fried things, sweets, and every possible permutation of breaded chicken.  Great for the taste buds, not so amazing for the waist line. Who was it that said “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips”? So I decided to whip…read more »
