You have been desperately awaiting word on the status of my broken finger and splinted hand. I know this to be true. It took me five minutes to type everything up to this point. Due to this fact, this may be the shortest post in this blog’s history. Like, crazy short. You know your girl…

White Chocolate-Pumpkin Scones with Cinnamon-Maple Cream Cheese Glaze
Um…you guys? I have something to tell you. Don’t get mad ‘kay? I started another DIY project. Well, we started another DIY project. I conned bribed Hector into helping me put wainscoting on our formal dining room walls. He has taken a few days of R&R after getting back from his latest deployment. So, I figured, “HEY!…
Cranberry-Orange Muffins with Streusel Topping
Have you ever done that thing where you open your eyes really wide in an attempt to keep from crying? Like if the air can hit the tears before they’re shed, it’ll dry them up and you’ll be good? Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of that. And the whole, waving your hand in front…

In my cookbook, I mention(in great detail I might add) how much I thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of authentic French brioche on a visit to Paris. Sitting at…

It took some deep, personal reflection, some crocodile tears and backspins and a few slices of this rye bread to be sure; but, sure, I am. I’m delusional, I’m not ready to be an adult, and I’m giving up on maturity. I was commenting the other…
Blueberry-Lemon Scones
I wrote about scones in my cookbook- taste&see cooks: recipes to inspire, equip & enjoy. shockingly enough, it’s on sale now. Mainly, I wrote about my love for scones and the occasional habit I have of pretending to be a resident of Downton Abbey (Cora) while eating them daintily, pinkie finger protruding and everything. It’s kind…
