It’s pretty clear that eating tons of sweets is bad for your health and figure. That’s why, when I bake, I save some for myself and give the rest AWAY. Since I can’t rely on self-control, I’ve got to get rid of the stuff. This weekend, I made up for my baking drought by cooking…
Berry Picking
I went out and picked blueberries and raspberries this afternoon at Charlotte Berry Farm down the road. Their blueberries had been pretty well picked over since it’s the end of the season, but I managed to get a few in my white bucket. My favorite part is not the picking, it’s the ping sound the…
Easy Breezy Summer Salad
I made this salad in the morning before I left for work. It took about 15 minutes from start to finish. It’s best to make it in the morning otherwise you might end up with some soggy veggies by lunchtime. icky. Ingredients: 1 Ear of sweet corn 1 Handful of green beans 1 Small…
Pack-n-Go Summer Breakfast
Summer just wouldn’t be summer without fruit like the tender, bright orange interior of a cantaloupe melon when it’s weighted down with syrupy juice. Or tiny, freshly picked raspberries that practically melt as soon as you bring them near your mouth. My breakfast this morning was a nod to summer and my last week in…
Scenes from the Burlington Farmers Market
The Burlington, VT Farmers Market is full of delicious local food, and some of it is made for you on the spot. For example, FolkFoods has developed the veggie burger that puts all the other veggie burgers to shame. And they’ll throw it in an egg sandwich (they’re frying up the eggs in the photo…
Greek Salad…Sandwich optional
I’m up in Burlington, VT now – yup, another foodie magazine internship – and have completely fallen for the place. People up here, safe to say, take their food seriously – and that means everything about where it comes from to how it’s thrown away. Every morning on my drive to work, I get to…
Empanada Mama
(picture from http://vvngirlyhead.blogspot.com) I have an editorial internship at a magazine in NYC for the summer, so I’ll be cooking in my kitchenette here, exploring the exciting world of toaster ovens and hotplates. I will also most definitely be exploring the New York food scene. Last night, my friend Anna introduced me to Empanada Mama in…
Bob’s Red Mill Scones
1 bowl. 1 spoon. 4 ingredients. Endless variations. Sign. Me. Up. Or so I thought. I’ve had a bag of Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grain Scottish Oatmeal Scone Mix (with currants) on my pantry shelf for a few months now. Since I woke up hungry for breakfast but couldn’t bring myself to eat a bowl…
Honey Spice Bread
One of my most treasured cookbooks is a collection of recipes from 15 French Patisserie that a very special friend gave me after a trip to Paris. Sometimes, I flip through the book just to look at the pictures – it’s one of those books. Even though it’s far from Fall, I love the warm…
