I am sorry. I owe you an enormous apology. I kept something from you that I really truly meant to share. I had these great intentions and somehow the relaxing days, the new bags of coffee with flavored creamer, guests and parties made me practically lose my mind. So much so that I forgot about [...]

Most of the TWD bakers are presenting a delicious looking chocolate cake today. I promise, I bought everything for it. But see, here’s what’s going on. You remember how I packed up my life in Peru and moved it to the US just a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, that’s what’s going on…still. Things are still [...] Living some place for some time without some things causes change. Complete and total change. I was excited to make pumpkin muffins this week, partially because the flavor fits perfectly with fall and partly because I have access to cans of real pumpkin. I was looking forward to the incredible flavor that I remember when eating [...] I have a job here. Use the apples. The trees are giving an abundance of fruit at my friends’ home and she has put me in charge of baking with all the apples. I am finding myself searching for more and more recipes that use apples.

The month has been a bit busy and life will be even busier until the end [...] I think cinnamon rolls are one of the greatest inventions! Since I had just made some cinnamon rolls, I was a bit hesitant to make another whole batch, even with the slight differences. When I saw the idea in Cooking Light for a braided cinnamon roll dessert, I knew there was a way to combine [...] Breakfast is an important meal, everyone says so. Too often we are in a rush cannot truly enjoy a decent, balanced breakfast. On the weekends, I find myself taking more time to prepare something to enjoy late morning to savor, to enjoy and to not simply rush through. In my mind, I had wanted to make [...] Bananas are something I am rather familiar with. I have enjoyed many banana breads, cakes, muffins among many other things. Maybe some of you have your go-to banana bread recipe and will never stray far from it. I however make banana baked goods more than once a week and am always trying new recipes! One that [...] Patterns represent thought and planning. Patterns are not a result of haphazard actions. Beautiful things can be created by thinking ahead and planning. All throughout the mountains of Peru, you find people making woven goods to later sell personally or have others sell for them. Many work on looms they create, which are adjusted based on [...] |
