Granola-Topped Blueberry Pie Bars
I’ve never really understood the expression, “easy as pie.” In the home of my childhood, it was more like “almost-unheard-of-plus-totally frustrating-and-usually-botched-results” as pie. Although my mom was a superlative baker, the one thing she almost never made (and when she did, it wasn’t very good) was pie. Give her a cookie dough, and she […]
I Never Met a Tim Tam I Didn’t Like
Okay, so I’ve actually never met a real Tim Tam. In fact I hadn’t ever even heard of these dreamy, ethereal treats until Johanna posted about them on her blog, almost a year ago, now. But just looking at the photos and reading the description of these cookies-in-a-chocolate-cloak made me realize that I would have […]
Halloween Whoopie Pies*
*Or, Why We No Longer Celebrate Halloween in the RH Household [Don’t be scared. It’s really tasty!] When the HH and I first lived together, our home in an older, mostly run-down neighborhood wasn’t exactly child-friendly. I vividly recall one sweltering summer’s evening as we lay sprawled in our bed, windows wide open (no A/C […]

Faux Kombucha
[Our potluck salad feast!] Last week, I alluded to the annual potluck I host for my nutrition buddies. As it turned out, 2011 was the first time in eight years that I missed it (why thank you horrible flu, awful weather, and chaotic schedule with 200 student assignments to mark within one week). Needless to […]
