A couple months ago, Nick brewed a Belgian Witbier. It was our first all-grain batch, and you may remember I made dog treats for Kaiser out of the spent grains. The beer has orange peel and coriander in it, so it’s a bit reminiscent of a Blue Moon (one of my favorite mainstream beers, by…
S’mores Brownies
Nick finally started class last week. Now that we’re both busy bees and out of the house a lot more, finding time to cook is becoming more challenging. I’m always up for a challenge, though! This weekend Nick had his new classmates over. We kept it simple with burgers and my Asiany coleslaw, but I…
Ginger Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Two things happened yesterday. First, Nick’s Aunt Diane emailed me, telling me she was making oatmeal raisin cookies (using whole wheat flour, under my influence, woo!). This had me thinking about oatmeal cookies all day long. Then, as I was updating my Recipes Page (you’re welcome), I noticed how few dessert recipes I have on…
Easter Krispie Treats
Happy Easter everyone! I played Easter bunny yesterday and made some cute treats to give to my little cousins today. (Oh yeah, I’m home in Massachusetts for a last minute visit!) These treats were inspired by Love From The Oven, a super cute baking blog. You’ll need a box of rice krispie treats, frosting, red…
Best. Dinner. Ever. (A post by Nick)

St. Patrick’s Day Cookies!
Another holiday is just around the corner, and you know what that means… An excuse to bake some festive sweets! It’s all about green! When I think green, I think mint. Mint Chocolate Chip just happens to be one of my favorite ice cream flavors, but I’m not sure I’m really up to making my…
Homemade Spaetzle and Dad’s Beef Stew
Sundays are good cooking days. Lots of time and not much else to do besides clean the house a little and relax. I’ve had a couple recipes in mind for a while now, but they both definitely required a Sunday. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I embarked upon this…
Mini King Cakes for Mardi Gras!
These Mini King Cake Cookies are perfect for your Mardi Gras celebration! They’re festively decorated and melt in your mouth! One of the best things about living on the Gulf coast (besides cheaper gas and white sand) has definitely got to be Mardi Gras! When people think Mardi Gras, they usually think New Orleans. But…
