Treats for the Season, Part Deux
There’s something about Fall that makes Shepherd’s Pie even tastier. It’s a dish that tastes great year round, but when it’s colder out—-*chef’s kiss* A friend told me about a recipe that includes red wine. After trying that, I’ll never go back to any other recipe. Find a Shepherd’s Pie recipe that you like, orContinue reading “Treats for the Season, Part Deux”
Treats for the Season!
I was once an anti-pumpkin dessert person (save pumpkin pie, naturally). Maybe it’s a sign of getting older and crazier, but I’m pro-pumpkin dessert now. Not pumpkin lattes or pumpkin oreos. I’m no monster. But pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting? Yup. I didn’t use fresh pumpkin. I made these on a day I justContinue reading “Treats for the Season!”

Chocolate Cake
I mentioned watching FX’s The Bear in a previous post. I mention it again because that chocolate cake Marcus makes. Omg. Every time he pours the chocolate ganache on top, I die a little. And I’m not even a fan of cake. Or all-chocolate cakes. I much prefer cookies (as you well know) or aContinue reading “Chocolate Cake”
Amazingly Stupid Apps to Waste Time
“Hey, check this app out.” My husband nudged me in the side, showing me his phone. He wanted me to know about a song app called Revive. It was 9pm on a Friday night. Two hours later, and we were both still hunched over our phones, howling with laughter as we transformed picture after pictureContinue reading “Amazingly Stupid Apps to Waste Time”
Random Thoughts and “The Bear”
Apologies in advance, but this post will be a bit darker than previous posts. I’ve been thinking, as one does, and—- People are better than the worst thing they’ve done. Random thought? Yes. But, this thought resonated with me as I watched FX’s The Bear. The show features a loud cast of characters who somehowContinue reading “Random Thoughts and “The Bear””

Shake It and Bake It
You know I can’t stop making stuff. Baking is my latest stress reliever. A way to challenge myself. A way to relax after grading papers. In terms of challenging myself, I’ve made raspberry cakes that looked as adorable as they did formidable: I also tried my hand at panna cotta. My friends and kids enjoyed,Continue reading “Shake It and Bake It”
The Empty Page
I’m floored to announce another non-fiction text from McFarland, forthcoming in 2023 or 2024: The work was inspired by a co-written article from 2021 in KOME, “Tug of War: Social Media, Cancel Culture, and Diversity for Girls and The 100.” My colleague and good friend, Allison Budaj, is co-editing this anthology with me for McFarland.Continue reading “The Empty Page”
Pocketful of Rainbows
I’m not really into baking cakes. For me, it’s too many steps to take for something I could buy from someone who can do it way better. Also, I’m not a big fan of eating cake. Cookies? All day, everyday. Cakes? Meh. However, for birthdays, I acquiesce to those I love. My seven-year-old requested aContinue reading “Pocketful of Rainbows”
