New Year.. I guess
I’ve never been one for celebrating the “New Year” holiday as it’s honestly just another day on the calendar. I don’t make resolutions. I’ve never been good at them anyway, even the ones I make during the year. I struggle to remember the things I want to do much less the things I hypothetically should…

CSAs are great… They just aren’t for us
I am a big supporter of farms. I mean.. we need them for .. food. I also like to support local farms. Community Supported Agriculture is a great thing for this. You basically prepay in the beginning of the season and then you get share of the crops every week (or on a schedule depending…

Doritos and Mountain Dew Macarons
That’s right, I said it. Doritos and Mountain Dew Macarons.. I made them.. twice. I mean, I’ve seen Doritos Macarons before but I wanted to up the nerd factor (or.. stoner factor?) and add in a Mountain Dew filling. I have a serious fondness for this combination. Always have… in fact, my going away gift…

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…
