My name is a derivative of Mary, did you know that? It’s an old English form of the name. Fancier than Mary, but still the same name & the meaning (of the original Hebrew root name, Miryam, that is) ranges from bitter/bitterness, salty to rebellion, obstinacy. I’d like to think I’m not bitter, but salty… […]

Snackle Mouth part 2: frozen yogurt parfaits.
… Remember my Snackle Mouth post from a few days ago? I was so excited to use it to bake something, and I did (coffee cake), and it was glorious. But if I’m being 100% honest- that wasn’t my first idea. … See my first idea was to make some homemade frozen yogurt and top […]

My new favorite thing: Snackle Mouth!
A few weeks ago, my friend & fellow blogger Xenia told me about Snackle Mouth. I had seen the pictures of it on her blog, and read her reviews of it, and I was intrigued. First off, I loved the packaging. Coolest granola packaging ever, for sure. And anytime you have bacon in anything, you […]

Tutti frutti clafouti (or really, Earl Grey nectarine jam clafouti).
Last summer when my Nana died, I went crazy with the canning. I felt as if it was the most constructive way I could keep my sanity. And it kept me sane, it did. It also kept my cupboard completely stacked. So stacked that I have to use up a ton of stuff before the […]

“Shake it like a Polaroid picture”: Cupcake Rehab got a new look.
In case you haven’t noticed the obvious; things look different around here. I revamped the entire website, from soup to nuts (haha, pun intended). If you’re lost, here’s the rundown: on the main page each polaroid is a blog post. You can access them just by clicking the polaroid or blog title underneath it, and […]

That’s one hard-boiled idea.
To be 100% honest, I’m gonna start this off saying: I don’t like egg salad. I never have, I never will. I don’t like anything about it, actually, as a whole. Individually, as single items, all of the ingredients are just fine with me. I like hard-boiled eggs, love mayo, have no problem with salt, […]

Blackberries are not just smart phones.
… Nowadays, it seems everyone has a “smartphone.” I came late to that party, finally caving in last July when Jay insisted on replacing my busted up old 2002-looking cell phone with an iPhone for my birthday. Honestly it has proved to be almost indispensable; especially when I broke my camera soon after and came […]

It’s the time of the season for rhubarb.
“You will escape into domesticity & stifle yourself by falling headfirst into a bowl of cookie batter.” -Sylvia Plath wrote in her journal in 1957, after a day spent baking a pie. … Rhubarb always seemed to me like an old-fashioned thing. Until the year before last, I was sort of immune to it’s charms, […]
