My dad tells me that the only things I can think about are muffins and cookies – aka food. Of course it’s a joke and totally not true… except for those times when it is true. ;) I tend to have a one-track mind when it comes to baking, as in once I’m set on [...]

I have a thing for carbs, or more like, I have a thing for the yummy treats that carbs come in, like perfect soft dinner rolls and fluffy cinnamon rolls. And muffins – I love me some muffins. Unfortunatley (hah!), I’m pretty sure that I get my fair share of carbs with all the baking I [...]

I would call myself an organized person. Really, I would. But sometimes, I have to wonder… Because I’m also the person who leaves so many internet tabs open that I can’t see the icons on any of them anymore. And the person who works with stuff all over the table, which I won’t clean up [...]

Remember the Homemade Graham Crackers I made a while ago? Well, I stashed some in the freezer since I made so many, because I can’t stand cookies getting old. Or at least, I thought I did…. When I tried to find them later, I couldn’t, and I finally decided it must have been my imagination. Fast [...]

First post of 2013! We’re going healthy today, because I think many of us are probably in the market for healthy recipes right now. There’s all of that “New Year, new you” stuff going on, and even if eating healthier isn’t really one of your New Year’s resolutions, I think we all feel a bit [...]

So, are you one of those “go with the flow” people, or are you a planner? As much as I sometimes wish I was better at being relaxed and easy-going, it’s in my nature to need things planned out. If you remember me talking about my trip to France, that’s a perfect example of what [...]

Back when I was a little kid and my baking experience was limited to chocolate chip cookies every now and then, I think I may have eaten just as much cookie batter as I baked. (Okay, it probably wasn’t that bad, but you know you did it too). Now that I’m constantly in the kitchen [...]

With all of the pumpkin treats that pop up during the fall, overtaking our lives in their spicy pumpkin-y goodness, it only seems appropriate that we have a good pumpkin drink to go with them.

Apple Cinnamon Raisin Muffins

Did you read today’s post title? Because I know it seems a bit obvious. I write about food. I take pictures of food. I’m pretty sure if you’re reading this you know that I like love food.
