Eat This While You Read That: George Phillies
The last time I had a recipe from George, it was a fun hot mess, not because of his snickerdoodles, but because I was baking under unusual circumstances. This recipe was a bit more pulled-together, but not by much, because… But first! You should check out George Phillies’ books. Minutegirls is my favorite, not only…

Eat This While You Read That: G Scott Huggins
So the conversation went something like this… Scott: I don’t know. Something with sausage? Maybe wurst? Me: I’ll do my wurst for you. And on that note! You should really read Scott’s book Doctor to Dragons if you appreciate humor. Especially low humor, because the book is about a veterinarian, and if you thought James Herriot…

Eat This While You Read That: Amie Gibbons
Welcome back, gentlereaders! Amie asked me nicely if I would be willing to revive the popular series pairing food and books, since she had a book, and a recipe…. and it’s been a long time. I have badly missed this series. It lasted over a year, and I loved doing it. Since her request came…

Kilo Cake
So I mentioned at work that I was thinking about baking this weekend. After two weeks of working straight through, I was in the mood to bake, it’s how I relax. Everyone’s tired and stressed. So they perked up, and somehow pound cake was mentioned. I can make that! I said, thinking that it was…

Eat This While You Read That: Dave Freer
This is a repost of the First Reader’s favorite thing I made during the year of authors and food I blogged a while back. I miss that, I wish I had the time again… but today, it’s the First Reader’s birthday, so I’m sharing this recipe and plan to make it for him this evening. …

Sunday Morning Frittata
It’s been a while since I made Sunday morning breakfast special. It’s also been a while since I blogged about food. This morning, with no plans in sight for the day (yay!) I decided I was going to do this thing. Since the kitchen also needed cleaning, I did that and kept the breakfast spread…

Vintage Kitchen: Scalloped Potatoes
When I picked this recipe, it was because I wanted a side dish to have with dinner, I had potatoes on hand, and I have fond memories of my Dad’s versions of Potatoes au Gratin (which he has won prizes with. But that’s another post, if he’ll let me use his recipe). This… is not…

Parsnip Walnut Date Muffins
So the other day I bought parsnips. I love parsnips. Like carrots, they can be used in many ways, and for a root vegetable, are very versatile. I got enough to make parsnips three ways: I used some in beef stew, I’ll roast some, and I put one big one into this quick-and-easy recipe. Muffins…

Gingerbread Dragon Mayhem
So a while back I was shopping for a bundt cake pan. It seems like such an innocent thing to do, yes? Well, it turns out there are a LOT of bundt pan designs, including some adorable bundlette pans that are, well, let’s just say I could easily blow all my kitchen budget and then…

Decadent Pumpkin Bread
It took me a while to name this recipe. Pumpkin bread doesn’t adequately cover what I’ve done here. I didn’t think that ultimate supreme tasty rich or the First Reader’s contribution of WalCranPumpkin Cheesecake Bread! was quite right, either. I took a fairly basic quickbread recipe and made it into something much more… no, refined isn’t…

Vintage Kitchen: Lemon Pie
My grandmother posted a photo of a lemon pie she’d made, and I saw it and thought ‘that looks good! I should get the recipe.’ And then this morning while I was standing in the kitchen talking about the menu planning with the First Reader, I picked up one of the antique cookbooks and looked…

Vintage Kitchen: Gingerbread Banana Shortcake
This recipe was submitted by a reader, Peter Budd, or rather he sent me a pdf booklet of his great-grandmother’s family recipes. I scrolled through it, seeing several options, and then decided that given the season, this one was a good choice. That, and it’s not a flavor combination I would have chosen on my…
