I have a short list of things that I always keep on hand for baking. This list includes the basics (flour, sugar, eggs, etc.), as well as a few useful add-ins (chocolate chips, oats, dried cranberries, nuts). And, at the bottom of that list, I have blueberries. They're a mainstay in my freezer, and they … Continue reading Ricotta Blueberry Muffins
Looking at the picture, you might be confused and think, "This looks like just another pasta with red sauce." If you did, you'd be partially right. The dish is just as simple when it comes to ingredients, and it takes about the same amount of time. But, there are a few things here that separate … Continue reading Bucatini all’Amatriciana
To me, crisps are a vacation from baking. While there are plenty of recipes out there to guide you through the process, crisps practically encourage experimentation. They are also forgiving, and I doubt you'll find many people out there that can claim to have tried a bad crisp. They are also simple.

This is the best snack food ever. We ate the first batch entirely by the handful, and it wasn't until the second batch that I had the chance to try it over yogurt. I absolutely love the sweetness of the honey and brown sugar over the tartness of the Greek yogurt, and I have a … Continue reading Homemade Granola

I used to make Saturday morning pilgrimages out to the South End branch when I lived in the city, and it … Continue reading Best Ever Banana Bread
As many teachers will attest, working with students all day is tough. Mix that with the long hours (and the early wake up call) and all the sudden there isn't much time for anything else. This was true for me my first year out of college, and unfortunately spending time in the kitchen was one … Continue reading “Healthy” Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies
For the past three years, I've experimented a lot with bread making. I started off with my friend Laura's sourdough starter (otherwise known as my "pet"), which had an awesome, complex flavor. However, the starter often disappointed me, and I could never get my dough to rise above the lip of the pan. The starter … Continue reading Oatmeal Sandwich Bread
