It’s been several weeks since I participated in Baked Sunday Mornings, but I couldn’t pass this one up. I’ve baked thousands of Christmas cookies and experimented with various candies of a December, but have but have never attempted buckeyes despite how much I like them. I have some friends who make buckeyes every Christmas, and [...]

Reading roundup
I am slowly but surely scraping deadlines off my plate, which makes me so, so happy. I hope to resume proper blogging soon, but in the meantime, I would like to point you to some other writing I’ve been doing: A guest entry on elitistacademic about Breaking Dawn, part 1. Recaps of Top Chef for [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Grasshopper Bars (and a Slow Food Quiz Bowl wrapup)
I don’t think I’ve ever had a grasshopper bar before, nor have I had the drink. I think I might have had a bite or a slice of grasshopper pie at one point in the distant past, but not in any recent memory I can access in my mind grapes. That’s probably because all things [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Mom’s Olive Oil Orange Bundt Cake
I decided, on the spur of the moment yesterday, to dip my toe back into the Baked Sunday Mornings project. I had made an executive decision, after three months of full-time work (a tough adjustment after more than 10 years of a part-time schedule!) and weekends that saw us run ragged with To Dos, to [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Cowboy Cookies
It’s been a while since I participated in the Baked Sunday Mornings project. I fully intended to make the tomato soup cupcakes two weeks ago, but Mother’s Day intervened. I didn’t do the crumb cake because that was Easter weekend and we were so busy hosting our annual Easter egg hunt and doing Easter activities [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Carrot Coconut Scones with Citrus Glaze
Okay, this one was a total dark horse. I would never in a million years have chosen these from the cookbook to work with, but Ho-Lee Wow. These are Uh. Maz. Ing. Hats off to the fearless organizer of Baked Sunday Mornings for picking a winner! (Please forgive the crappy photos. I shot these at [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Malted Crisp Tart
Has it really been two weeks since I posted here? Blimey. It’s been pretty busy around these parts, what with SXSW and the home stretch of my dissertation. But things are slowly getting back to normal, which is nice. This week’s Baked Sunday Mornings project is the Malted Crisp Tart. This is another one of [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Salt and Pepper Sandwich Cookies
I love Oreos. LOVE. THEM. I almost never eat them because they are part of the horrific industrial food system, not to mention being fattening and devoid of nutrients. (But! They are [possibly] vegan!) That said, these cookies did not capture my interest the first time I flipped through Baked Explorations, and I was ambivalent [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Devil’s Food Cake with Angel Icing
I decided to adapt this week’s entry into cupcakes because tonight is my (very small and intimate) Oscars party and I reckoned cupcakes would be easier to eat than cake. I made the cupcakes this morning while my husband slept in. I knew where this project was headed the minute I took them out of [...]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Red Velvet Whoopie Pies
It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and we’re looking forward to a week of springlike weather. We’re headed to Harry’s class friend’s birthday party in a bit and have a fairly lazy Sunday ahead of us. I have lots of projects from which to choose (some tedious, like folding laundry, some creative, like [...]
