I don’t usually serve this kind of thing as an after school snack, but it’s Friday and Fuzz has had a rough week so I decided to bake her a little cake using a recipe I found in my mom’s messy old binder o’ clippings. This one was written on a loose index card in handwriting [...]

Today’s recipe tested my patience, but I figured if Viggo Mortenson could go out of his comfort zone, I could make a more complicated than usual dessert. For some reason, I was drawn to this one. It’s from the yellow Gourmet cookbook, but it also appears on Epicurious, and thank goodness for that because the [...]

A couple of months ago on a very cold day, I bought a box of Kashi Go Lean Hot Cereal thinking I’d enjoy it on hot mornings. I ate one packet, then the weather got warmer and I just didn’t feel like hot cereal anymore. I decided to use the hot cereal packets in cookies [...]
