I hate pumpkin pie. It’s not the flavor I have problems with, it’s the texture. Custards just completely gross me out. Fortunately these bars taste like pumpkin pie, but have more of a cheesecake texture, which I love! I also like graham cracker crust about a hundred times more [...]
Yeah, another cake. I will eventually post healthy recipes again one of these days, but I’ve been making a lot of repeats lately, or just giant salads that definitely aren’t worthy of a blog post. So you get cake again! Ellie got to meet her great-grandparents this weekend. They [...]
There are a few phrases that have quickly become the most beautiful music to my ears: “I’ll take the baby, you can nap” (which was followed by a blissful, uninterrupted 90-minute nap) and “I’ll take the baby, go for a run” (which was followed by a delightful 50-minute run) [...]
Cookies are probably the last thing anyone needs the day after Thanksgiving, but I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to pumpkin, and with no pie left, I have to have something for dessert after my leftovers! Thanksgiving started with a very hilly, very COLD (okay yes I’m lame [...]

I realize there’s a lot of controversy surrounding Christopher Columbus. Should we celebrate the fact that he missed his goal by so much? Was he basically a racist piece of crap that got the ball rolling on the slave trade? Maybe…but I’m glad we have a holiday in his [...]
I had a lot of things to do to get ready for Thanksgiving…pie and tart crusts to make, bread to make and cut for stuffing, an apartment to clean and mounds of dishes to wash. But what did I decide to do before all that? Make pesto and pumpkin bread. [...]
