We are back in Beantown after spending the past few days (without my camera cord) in Maine. The majority of the time, I roasted in front of the fireplace to further illustrate my cat-like tendencies.
Fireplaces provide such a relaxing ambiance in a room. I’m drawn to them like a moth to a [...]
Literally everything I love about fall is baked into this bread pudding.
pumpkin apple cider apples gingerbread cinnamon mulled spices
I contemplated throwing a few tablespoons of cranberry sauce and some dried maple leaves in there for good measure. I’m not sure I would change a single thing about this recipe though. It [...]
Apple Pie in a Jar is an idea for the record books, but I can’t take the credit for it. I found this blog with all the little pies-in-jars your heart could ever desire.

If everything I ever tried to cook turned out right, I would be running my own bakery by now. I suffer to make the simplest things sometimes: rice, scrambled eggs, and microwave popcorn.
Of course, over time I’ve learned a few things. I have excellent knife skills, can bake a cake from scratch, [...]
Apple picking ==> surplus apples ==> Apple baked goods ==> surplus satisfaction
Last night, I threw together a quick crisp to showcase the fresh crop we just hand-picked. I have a recipe for Bangin’ Apple Crisp that I’ll inevitably share later this fall. But for now, and maybe even better, is an easy apple crisp [...]
… keep the tastebuds at bay!
We went apple picking at Belkin Lookout Farm in Natick, MA today. It is one of the closest U-Pick farms to the city. Perfectly situated amongst farms and scenic roads to make it feel like you are far away from all the noise and [...]
