Ombre seems to be everywhere — from hair and nails to jeans and tops. But you don’t have to wear graduated color or dip-dye your own lampshades to get your ombre fix. I made these cookies a while back for a bridal shower. They were a lot easier than most of the decorated cookies I’ve […]
Remember that time I made scones with coconut oil instead of butter, but gave you no good explanation for it? Sorry about that. I had forgotten that I hadn’t already shared these cookies. And I’m REALLY sorry about that. These cookies are my new favorites. They’re super coconutty and chocolatey and magical. And just as […]
As I mentioned the other day, we went a little overboard when we were buying rhubarb for that pie. So I needed another vehicle for the fabulous red vegetable. And since we LOVED the pie, I thought we should try the strawberry-rhubarb combination, too. I’m kind of obsessed with rhubarb now, if you can’t tell. […]
It’s Shark Week! You could celebrate with a new shower cap or bathing suit… Oven mitt or bottle opener… Or bake up some blue Hawaii shark cupcakes… But whatever you do, make sure you keep an eye out for dorsal fins.
If you read a lot of food blogs, you may have noticed that there are certain items and ingredients that are super trendy. Kale chips, for instance. Quinoa. Bacon in everything, including cupcakes.

I was really, really hoping I would have the time to make something strawberries-and-cream-y this year in honor of Wimbledon, because I love everything about Wimbledon and you can’t go wrong with strawberries and cream. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. It got ridiculously hot here, which I think probably was bad […]
I can’t even tell you how excited I was when we saw (and smelled!) fresh, ripe, local strawberries the other day. It was like surprise Kate Spade sale-level excitement. And then I found a bag of White Lily self-rising flour. O.M.G. It was like God wanted me to make strawberry shortcakes and share them with […]
What are you doing for your mom for Mother’s Day? Sending flowers? Taking her out to tea? Serving her breakfast in bed? Our mothers have already received the flowers we sent, and we’re getting them some presents. But we can’t exactly take them breakfast in bed, since they both live hundreds of miles away. Of […]
Did you know the blue crab population in the Chesapeake Bay is at its highest level since 1993? Did you know blue crabs are blue when they’re alive but turn reddish when you cook them? Did you know that even though my astrological sign is Cancer and I live in Maryland, I will die if […]
