Dear procrastination, I don’t know why everyone seems to think you’re such a bad thing. You keep us relaxed, give us a never-ending litany of excuses, tell us “it’s okay to be you and not work right now. You can do it tomorrow. You can do it tomorrow. You can do it tomorrow. You can … Continue reading Nonsequitor Orange Fennel Salad
First, I’d like to point out what an AWESOME word “salmagundi” is. Second, it means “assortment”. This salad is just that: a bunch of ingredients that I usually have on hand that happen to work really well together when mixed with dressing. It’s sweet, savory, juicy, crispy, crunchy, chewy, tart, creamy, tangy and possibly everything … Continue reading Salmagundi Salad
Water sucks. It really, really sucks. And I’m not a big fan of Gatorade either. Water’s like that awful green-death-flavored NyQuil you have to choke down in order to get shut-eye when your brain cells are exploding, except it’s worse. Because it doesn’t taste like green death. Ugh. Being a retired personal trainer and having … Continue reading Blueberry Peach Joo-ee (that’s “juice + tea”…only way more fun)
Pancakes. I love them. And respect them, in all of their forms. So, sometimes in order to fully appreciate those other forms, you have to make pancakes that are shaped like eggs. That are filled with apple pie. (Or jam. I love jam.) How did you come up with that one, you might ask? Was … Continue reading Damn Scandinavians and their Pancake Eggs!
Selfish? ME? Because I didn’t want to use the blueberries I bought and use in my salad everyday for the muffins I promised to make for classmates? Nah. Not selfish. Just lazy. Hey! I’m already making these things, and I’m expected to drive to the store to pick up more ingredients? Hurumpf. Besides, I had … Continue reading Kamikaze Strawberries Tell me to Bake them into Muffins.
It’s when we are pushed to the limit, that we are the epitome of what distinguishes us as human. Whether it’s a mother lifting a car off of her trapped baby, a runner who falls during a race from a torn hamstring and finishes with the help of his father, a dog that pulls his … Continue reading Epitome of Human Ingenuity: Bread Pie
Wait! Beforeyouthrowstones! Low fat baking is not heresy. No matter what certain haughty French pastry chefs tell you…if you’re in the practice of speaking to haughty French pastry chefs. Yes. Fat does a whole host of spiffy things to baked goods, it’s easy to come by (in any mode that tickles your fancy) and always … Continue reading Faddy Issues: Lowfat Banana Bread
I’m smart. I’m smart because I don’t pay exorbitant prices for pre-sugared nuts. I sugar my own damn nuts. I’ve always been the self-sufficient type-make my own food, wash my own car, milk my own goats…I totally would if I had goats-and that trait mixed with disdain for laziness (hypocritical? Absolutely) and occasional frugal mood swing … Continue reading Dawn’s Early Sugared Nuts
Hey. If it’s socially acceptable to put “Warning! Contains nuts.” on the back of a bag of peanuts, a recipe for oatmeal should seem perfectly normal. Especially given the fact that concocting the “perfect” bowl of oatmeal can actually be quite tricky. Yes, I know: people have differing opinions as to what a perfect bowl … Continue reading This is NOT a Calf Implant.
