condiments | fruit | lemon | moroccan | preserved foods | quick & easy | recipe
A certain lemon je ne sais quoi.
Preserved lemons are probably as old as lemons & salt themselves. The version I’m giving you is the most popular on the internet these days: Moroccan preserved lemons. But there are other versions as well; Russian and Indian to name a few. The “Moroccan” version is pretty common, and there are sources that say that […]
It’s kinda hard to believe it’s week 16 of our blog hop. Well, for me anyway. Time is seriously flying and it’s scary! I swear, it really does seem like just yesterday we started this, but it was way back in October. Insane. This week’s co-host is Analilia at http://ride-thespiral.blogspot.com! Welcome Analilia!

breakfast | gluten-free | jam | quick & easy | recipe | tea | traditional with a twist | unique | vanilla
That Earl, he really knows how to jam.
Well since Valentine’s Day is over, and we’ve got some time before the all the green starts (although if you go by Pinterest/blogs it’s already starting), that means some time to bake things that aren’t artificially colored. What fun is that, right? Well as much as I do love me some food coloring (and holy […]

Flu fighting sorbet, anyone?
Now that Valentine’s Day is over & there’s one whole month until you’ll be ingesting green beer, feel free to get sick. No seriously. After reading this post, you just might not mind it so much. Okay… that’s a lie. You will. But at least this will ease your suffering just a bit. A couple […]

All you need is love. And cupcakes.
“Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” – Julia Child Just a short & sweet post today. Nothing new. Nothing groundbreaking. Just some good old fashioned Valentine’s stuff: red velvet cupcakes, little red hearts, etc. But with a twist… a black & white twist! And of course even […]

My bloody valentine.
Listen, I know I’ve been overloading you with cutesy, Valentine-y stuff lately. I know that. I don’t really care if you like it or not, though, sorry to say. Because I love it. I actually get more pissed at the people who bitch constantly about how much they hate Valentine’s Day than I do about […]

Fill your heart with frosting.
I wish I could say I love surprises, but I really don’t. Deep down inside somewhere, I kinda do; I kinda do get excited about being surprised. But more often than not, it’s just an overwhelming sense of “What am I missing out on?!” and it drives me bananas. I hate not having control over […]
apple | cinnamon | desserts | dough | fruit | pie | recipe | tarts | traditional with a twist | treats | unique | valentine's day
This little pie is the apple of my eye.
This pie is something I made after seeing a beautiful French apple tart David Lebovitz posted on his Instagram page. The apples had been cut into roses, and placed on top of a tart dough. It looked as if there was something else underneath the apples, but I couldn’t quite tell. It was stunning. The […]
Happy February. Isn’t it crazy that Valentine’s Day is in two weeks?! I never really understood the deal with people who hate on it so much. What’s so bad about it? You shouldn’t need a special day to remind people you love them, no… …but what’s wrong with a day that celebrates love? (And there […]
