T minus 24 hours until I travel to the Massachusetts to visit one of my most favorite people on the planet! I can’t wait to spend time with her, see where she lives now and (almost as importantly) indulge in east coast grub. I am so excited to eat FRESH seafood, something I haven’t tasted [...]
Unemployed life is surprisingly busy. I feel like I have less time now than I had while I was employed. Dealing with insurance issues, the unemployment department, running errands, applying for jobs, fixing my car, interviewing, faxing, mailing, printing, copying… I am exhausted. Maybe this would be a good time to take a vacation. Any [...]
I was never any good at chemistry (usually distracted by the funny boys who sat next to me in my class) and few of my baking recipes worked after I moved to a higher altitude, but I couldn’t resist an attempt at making homemade banana bread. There is something completely magical about banana bread. Banana [...]
This is one of my favorite snacks/light breakfasts. The ricotta is very light and fluffy but leaves the canvas open for your own interpretation. When I put this together, I crave fresh strawberries and a bit of agave nectar for added sweetness. It’s a play on healthier strawberry cream cheese. The idea originally spawned from an article I [...]
Pandowdies, cobblers, slumps, and grunts are all variations on biscuit dough cooked with fruit. These down-home desserts from early New England are enjoying a welcome revival. I picked up these apples at the Longmont Farmer’s Market (10 for $1!) and promised the farmer that I would give them a good home. I remembered seeing a recipe for [...]
My friends, I have a confession to make. *Takes a deep breath…* I have never baked bread before. *Looks away in shame* That’s right. I, Miss Foodie McBooty, was so intimidated by the IDEA of baking bread that I’ve steered clear of any recipe and given every bread-maker the stink eye. Now, I’ve successfully made [...]
There is this addicting restaurant in Boulder, Colorado called Rueben’s Burger Bistro where they specialize in, well, burgers. Their decor is old world French with themes of the Tour de France galore. Rueben’s serves your average burger a million different ways. Every burger, no matter what combination I try, has always been tasty but what keeps us [...]
April 25th is National Zucchini Bread Day. I have made Aimée’s recipe in the past and turn to it again and again. She really did her homework with this one. Especially since baking comes as naturally to me as flying does to a fish, believe me when I say that this recipe is a winner. You [...]
Do you ever dream about food? I do. Sometimes I dream about slow roasting meats sizzling over a fire or savoring a perfectly baked pastry. Other times I dream about chocolate pudding and slathering it all over my body. Let’s not get into that right now. More recently I dreamt about cornbread. Cornbread with a [...]
I have recently developed an addicted to making homemade pizza. I love working and tossing the dough and having complete control of all elements of in the pie. The hardest part about making a good pizza to me is perfecting the crust. The dough is key in a lot of what makes a pizza amazing. [...]
