Posted on July 15, 2012 by

Toasted Almond-Sauteed Apple-Greek Yogurt Cake

Posted on June 18, 2012 by

    I’m thinking that I have to come up with a name for this cake, because Toasted Almond- Sauteed Apple-Greek Yogurt Cake is:  a. a mouthful, and b. somehow too complicated to be appetizing.  Which isn’t accurate, because this … Continue reading →

Sauteed Apples

Posted on June 11, 2012 by

  This is really more of a recipe-lette.  I found myself looking for a substitute for raisins for a noodle pudding recipe and, after rummaging around in the fridge and pantry, my eye fell on a few Granny Smith apples. … Continue reading →

Sourdough Bread On My Schedule

Posted on May 16, 2012 by

I love sourdough bread, and sourdough bread-baking.  I’m the proud owner of a starter that I began 4 years ago using a bunch of organic grapes, some bread flour and water.  I use it often.  The problem?  Well, none really, … Continue reading →

In Which I Embrace My Crunchy-Granola-Ness

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

Posted on April 4, 2012 by

  I just can’t seem to leave that bottle of sriracha alone.  These are a take on cheese puffs – but without the cheese.  I’ve made these, baked them off, and frozen them. They reheat quite nicely and are tasty … Continue reading →

Spicy Nori Crackers

Posted on March 1, 2012 by

After baking all those chocolate orange cookies, I started thinking about the savory and the spicy. I wanted something that didn’t involve cheese (my daughter is both a hot sauce lover and a cheese boycotter) and the bottle(s) of sriracha in … Continue reading →
