winning the battle?

Chocolate chip cookies have always been my biggest baking weakness.  Remember this?  Well..maybe my luck is changing?

We were in serious need of some cookies last night, and Dave found this Martha recipe floating around.  The cookies were fantastic!!  Seriously, it’s all I could do to keep myself from sitting around eating them all day.
So, despite [...]

Squash of the Week!

Ack, a day late!  :oX  This week’s squash is the BUTTERNUT SQUASH.  I guess after my previous squashy disappointments, I figured I’d go familiar over foreign.  It was awesome!

It was a lot more orange than I thought it would be!

I had really wanted to, you know, DO something with it..but all of the recipes I [...]

knit happens

At some point in the recent past, you may have come to the conclusion that this blog is not about knitting and craftiness at all.  In fact, it’s mostly about food and my dog!  Any writing I’ve done about knitting is probably just a face to appease you, right?  Not quite.

I’m actually not in that one since [...]

Squash of the Week!

As promised..a weekly squash feature for fall! I love squash. They’re easy to cook, and you can pair them with basically anything to add fall flair to a meal. You could even (gasp) branch out and incorporate them INTO your dish. ..but I don’t.
This week’s squash is BUTTERCUP SQUASH.

Prior to cutting [...]

trading time for taste

It’s finally fall in Arizona! At least..yesterday’s high was below 90. It’s going to go back up, but I’m hopeful that it’ll remain cool for a while soon. My busy schedule should calm down a bit after this week, hopefully lending to some relaxation, knitting, and REAL baking. In the meantime? [...]
