When it comes to scones, I’m of the camp that believes they should be slightly dry. A bite of a crumby scone should inspire a sip of coffee or tea. I loathe scones that are really just mislabeled muffin tops. But this scone I had from Chris’ Marketplace at the Dupont Farmers Market, is unlike any other … Continue reading »
I love eggs. Oeufs. If beans are the magical fruit, eggs are the magical dairy. They go with every meal, in any form or method of cooking. They can be savory, they can be sweet. They can add creaminess, body or density to a dish. They are probably the most versatile and fulfilling ingredient or … Continue reading »
I really love breakfast foods. And I adore coffee cake. But the stuff that’s usually sold at Starbucks and coffee shops just doesn’t do it for me. Too sweet…too much like…cake? When I got this Williams-Sonoma dessert cookbook I was bored and rummaging my way through the Virginia outlet stores. If you’re not already aware of the … Continue reading »

Lori has a way of choosing recipes I’d just never even think of making. I’m not sure why…it’s not like she’s making odd dishes from completely foreign ingredients! Anyway, I … Continue reading »
I liked it better with cranberries. See, I made this cake for co-workers over the Christmas holiday. A gift of sorts. People went nuts for it. Over fudge and magic dream bars even. I was kind of surprised. It was good…but, over fudge?! Anyway. I decided to make it again and since cranberries aren’t in … Continue reading »
Do your scones look more like the top of a muffin than a scone? Do they have the texture of a muffin or cake instead of being dry and flaky? I’ve seen too many scones like this lately. I’ve bought them at coffee shops, my friends have made them…hell, I’ve made them! It’s wrong! It’s … Continue reading »
Do you like breakfast? I love breakfast. I love breakfast like I love my dogs (they live in Phoenix with my parents)…I experience pure bliss when I’m with them, but miss them ’cause I don’t get to see them often. And so goes the same with breakfast…I don’t see breakfast much at all. Early rising, busy … Continue reading »
