Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies
These brownies are often my go-to recipe for a last minute dessert. Really, what kind of logical person doesn’t constantly have butter, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, eggs, and flour on hand for times that require something sweet? Kidding. I often have … Continue reading

Ginger Vanilla Applesauce
What do you do when you’ve got a handful of apples too soft to enjoy eating on their own? You make applesauce, because it’s easy. And delicious. I’ve eaten homemade applesauce, though I hadn’t made it myself before today. There … Continue reading

Banana Cranberry Ginger Oatmeal
For the first time in nearly five years, I’ve had our home to myself for the week. Its been strange in various facets. There is no one yelling “JULIE!” every two minutes, meaning trouble, help, or hunger. I can go … Continue reading
Panko Breaded Baked Tofu
I watched a rerun of America’s Worst Cooks the other night. Don’t hold a grudge. We don’t have TV so I’m limited to Hulu cooking shows and Netflix movies. AWC seemed like an okay decision at 11:30, post wine-consumption. The … Continue reading

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies
I don’t remember where I first discovered whoopie pies. I still don’t understand why they are called pies, rather than cake, which really is what these are. Two moist, semi-fluffy, cakes sandwiched together by a lovely cream filling. If you … Continue reading

Strawberries and “Cream” Oatmeal
I love oatmeal. For breakfast, lunch, dinner sometimes. Quick oats, old fashioned rolled oats, steel cut. Sometimes mushy, sometimes drier. Usually hot, sometimes cold. You can cook it in water, milk, both. Even a bit of fruit juice if you … Continue reading

Fluffy Vanilla Pancakes
I remember lacking all excitement about pancakes as a kid, especially in the morning. Sometimes I’d watch Japanese horror movies with my mom at night and we’d get hit with the 10 o’clock munchies. I remember we’d make two giant … Continue reading
