• Double coconut, double chocolate chip cookies

    Remember that time I made scones with coconut oil instead of butter, but gave you no good explanation for it? Sorry about that. I had forgotten that I hadn’t already shared these cookies. And I’m REALLY sorry about that. These cookies are my new favorites. They’re super coconutty and chocolatey and magical. And just as […]

  • Strawberry rhubarb crumble

    As I mentioned the other day, we went a little overboard when we were buying rhubarb for that pie. So I needed another vehicle for the fabulous red vegetable. And since we LOVED the pie, I thought we should try the strawberry-rhubarb combination, too. I’m kind of obsessed with rhubarb now, if you can’t tell. […]

  • Happy Shark Week!

    It’s Shark Week! You could celebrate with a new shower cap or bathing suit… Oven mitt or bottle opener…   Or bake up some blue Hawaii shark cupcakes… But whatever you do, make sure you keep an eye out for dorsal fins.

  • I heart the Olympics

    “Because while we might not all be cheering for the same country, we can all appreciate hot dudes.” So sad it’s over.

  • Rhubarb pie

    If you read a lot of food blogs, you may have noticed that there are certain items and ingredients that are super trendy. Kale chips, for instance. Quinoa. Bacon in everything, including cupcakes. And back in the spring, it was all rhubarb, all the time. Except here. It’s not that I had anything against rhubarb. […]

  • Crazy busy

    I’m really sorry. I know I’ve been gone for entirely too long. And it’s not for lack of things to post. It’s just that a lot has been going on. First there was this: Then there was this… and, of course, now there’s this: But there has also been pie, pretzel dogs and… more pie. […]

  • How to make pie crust

    I was really, really hoping I would have the time to make something strawberries-and-cream-y this year in  honor of Wimbledon, because I love everything about Wimbledon and you can’t go wrong with strawberries and cream. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. It got ridiculously hot here, which I think probably was bad […]

  • Eating (and swimming and shopping) my way around the world

    Hey y’all. I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long. I was traveling for work and didn’t have time to write a bunch of posts to go live while I was gone. Anyway, before I get back to recipe posts about frosting and cookies (yay!), I wanted to do a brief photo recap of the non-work […]

  • Four-ingredient scratch strawberry shortcakes

    I can’t even tell you how excited I was when we saw (and smelled!) fresh, ripe, local strawberries the other day. It was like surprise Kate Spade sale-level excitement. And then I found a bag of White Lily self-rising flour. O.M.G. It was like God wanted me to make strawberry shortcakes and share them with […]
