Baking...With a Slice of Life
I hope you guys like pie. Because you’re going to see a lot of it over the next few weeks. Why? Because it’s the Two Weeks of Pie! (#2weeksofpie) November is all about getting ready for Thanksgiving, and pie is the star of Thanksgiving. {What? You think the star is Turkey? Pfft.} So, to get [...]
Yesterday, Jordan and I went to a local pumpkin farm with her Brownie Scout Troop. We spent an exhausting (and unseasonably warm) few hours playing on the slide, riding the train, and jumping on hay. {Well. She did that. I watched.} This pumpkin patch is known for their baked goods (aren’t they all?). They sell [...]
I have decided I want to crown November “pie month”, or, more accurately, “crust month.” I mean, I’m sure that pie eating on Thanksgiving day is at an all time high. To me, “pie day” will forever be March 14…but I think the rest of the country disagrees with me. In an effort to brainstorm [...]
I looooooooove shortbread. Like, love with a capital “Obsessed With.” When we were first dating, Mel had to go to London for two weeks for work.

Okay, so I kinda lied a little. Well, more like, omitted. These aren’t just Pumpkin Streusel Muffins. They are Pumpkin Streusel BRAN muffins. I figured the “bran” part would scare you away. It doesn’t taste like a bran muffin. I promise! I tastes like pumpkin goodness. I know that many of you [...]
Happy Father’s Day! On Mother’s Day I showcased one of my mom’s recipes, so I thought my dad shouldn’t be left out on Father’s Day. Hence, I give you: You probably tried to read that and gave up. Don’t worry; I would have too. In fact, until I did research for this post, I had [...]
Countdown to Thanksgiving: T-17 days. Now that November is here, I’m thinking about Thanksgiving. A lot. I’m hosting this year (which I am very excited about) so I am paying extra attention to recipes in magazines and blogs. One of the blogs I read had a great idea that I’m totally going to do. Instead [...]
Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
