  • Mixed berry + chocolate chip cookies are in my kitchen right now

    This morning I felt a wave of need-to-create energy crash over me and because all the other DIY projects I’m pumped about starting require getting out of my house and buying materials, I decided baking something new would be part of that. My freezer is currently stocked with kilos of frozen berries so I took that…

  • Super quick Nutella cupcakes

    Inspired by Pamela’s promises of how easy it would be, we tried out these Nutella cupcakes to celebrate abba’s unbirthday. (Kids + easy cupcake recipe + abba not home = it’s abba’s birthday!) Essentially Nutella replaces a boxed brownie mix, except slightly cheaper and more Nutella-y. Super simple instructions: 10 tablespoons of flour 2 eggs…

  • The time I made muffins! Sweet Potato Banana CHOCOLATE CHIP Muffins!

    When a lazy person loves muffins, and has a motivated friend who loves muffins, amazing things happen. In the mouth.

  • Happy Australia Day!

    Nah, I’m not Australian just because I’m married to one… But the Aussie I’m married to was given Lamingtons today by an Aussie coworker in hono’u’r of Australia Day this Saturday, and he brought one home for lil ole American me. Another benefit to “mixed” marriages. The Lamington is an Australian pastry consisting of sponge…

  • Homemade kreplach, courtesy of husband.

    Never again can I declare that I never win anything. Somehow I won the biggest contest there is and life has never tasted so good. My husband is right now making kreplach, home food he’s been missing since he left Australia. He’s the type to miss a dish and then think to himself, well, why…
