Meyer Lemon Poppy Seed Macarons
I told you, I’m super into making macarons lately. These I made a month or so ago. I took the basic recipe from Laduree that was posted by Not So Humble Pie but I scaled it back because that is way too many macarons… way too many. I added the zest of a Meyer lemon…

Macarons are my new obsession
Hi there! Yeah, I disappeared again.. I guess I didn’t have much to talk about… I mean Twitter and Facebook and Instagram have all but killed my blogging buzz… I’m on there much more than I should be but eh.. whatever. A few months ago, I decided to finally take a class from Albany Cooking…

Fully entrenched in the Googles
Hi Friends! Been a while, eh? Here is a fun fact. I hated writing this blog…. but not because I didn’t have things to say… I did.. but I couldn’t say them…kind of. My laptop was the problem. I bought it new in 2015 and it was slow then.. and since 2015, there have been…

The simplicity of vegetables for breakfast
Thanksgiving 2018 is in the books and I feel like I’ve eaten nothing but starch and meat… probably because that is basically what I’ve been eating… ok, I threw in a few green beans but I’m stuffed with stuffing and overflowing with gravy (my two favorite things about Thanksgiving).

The Lingering Bean
Hi! It’s been a while, eh? I do this, I think you know by now.. I write for a while and then vanish.. and then write again. It’s just who I am and I’ve learned to accept it. Trying to force a blog schedule just doesn’t work. So I don’t. So! What’s new… I played…

Let your kidneys hang from your earlobes
I tried a new yoga studio tonight. Bad things happened. I’m sitting here trying not to have a full on panic attack, eyes leaking, hands shaking… can barely see what I’m typing but I need to get this out. I don’t like strangers touching me. I don’t like hugging people that I don’t know. I’m…
