It’s Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., and I’ve been baking cookies for hours now – beginning last night, and resuming my baking agenda at 7 this morning.
Know what I’m baking? Christmas cookies.
Sound random? It is.
Why am I doing it? Because my company is going to be doing a cookie photo shoot for a client.
What does [...]
I’m a runner and a baker. Both of these hobbies help me relieve stress.
My running, I pound my frustrations into the pavement, have long talks with myself and wear myself out so much that there’s not enough energy left to use on worry.
Baking is my creative therapy – it allows me to create new things, [...]
Baking my third-ever pie was just as much fun as baking the first two. This time I waited until I got to the supermarket to decide what kind of pie to bake. I based my decision on the fruit that looked the freshest at the best price, and strawberries won out.
Once I decided on strawberries, [...]
One of my favorite foods is a simple one – the blueberry. You can eat blueberries so many different ways; baked into muffins, mixed into pancakes, chilled with yogurt and granola, or my top choice – in blueberry pie.
Although I love to bake, I only started baking pies recently, and my attempt at a homemade [...]

Upon unpacking the gingerbread house-making supplies, I promptly got to work mixing dough and preparing cookie sheets. I tripled the recipe, which claimed to make 2.5 dozen cookies, and still only made enough dough for a simple, small gingerbread cottage. So much for my grand plans of the Frank Lloyd Wright “Falling [...]
I’ve always wanted to build a gingerbread house, and this year I finally did it.
Buying a gingerbread house kit would be the small town equivalent of saying “I want to build my own home” and then heading down the highway to buy your own prefab modular estate. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but it [...]
After the March Race to the Rocker 4-mile run, my mom and I enjoyed lunch at the Back in the Day Cafe with a Cuba native named Jane. Jane had offered to give us a tour of Cuba’s fantastic murals, but first, we needed lunch. Back the Day Cafe sits in one of the Cuba [...]
Let it be state for the record that I am NOT vegan, and that I love cookies. These cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar blew every pre-conceived notion of what a vegan cookie should taste like out of the water.
For those of you who don’t already know this, vegans don’t eat any products [...]
Christmas is four days away, and I’m curled up in my pajamas with several inches of show outside. My best friend and I are spending this snowy December day experimenting with vegan cookie recipes at her parent’s home in the Chicago suburbs.
Our cookbook of choice today is “Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar,” and the [...]
MilliGCornilicious is at it again, this time bringing the corny to the kitchen via spice cupcakes with traditional white icing and pumpkin spice candy corn.
I don’t even like candy corn, but I liked this candy corn. I took these cupcakes to work with me, and they were gone almost immediately.
Behold, the tastiest corny creation this [...]
