What's Cookin'?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Food on Friday, December 16, 2011
Are you baking this weekend?
I think we’re going to add these (which I found on Pinterest and traced to this blog) to our rotation.
Because they’re cute.
And because that’s exactly how much frosting I can tolerate.
How about you? Trying anything new for Christmas this year?
Apple Time Is Here!
Posted by DariaSockey in Food on Wednesday, September 21, 2011
You can tell you’re in the Sockey home in September through November by sense of smell alone.
Apples are bound to be on the menu in some form or another several days a week. My top three are apple pie, apple crisp, and apple sauce. Apples will also appear in salads, and now and again I serve Fried Apples ‘n’ Onions as a side dish, in homage to Laura Ingalls Wilders’ very hungry Almanzo in Farmer... READ MORE
A Grand Old Flag
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, June 28, 2011
As is my yearly Fourth of July custom, I am sharing with you my favorite patriotic cake—one I have made myself and can vouch for its deliciousness.
The decorating is a little labor intensive (by my standards), but your loved ones will appreciate your efforts. They will show their gratitude by devouring your hard work.

My Latest Appliance Crush
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Friday, June 10, 2011
My parents bought me this pretty little thing
I am thrilled! And excited! And confirmed in my theory that true happiness comes in the form of kitchen appliances.
Just kidding.
Sort of.
Well, I am happy, and it has a little bit to do with the sweet machine kneading a 2-pound loaf of country white on my counter top right now.
I have been enthusiastically checking out the tips... READ MORE

Craving Cookies?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, February 11, 2011
As previous discussions on this site have proven, Girl Scout cookies are a controversial issue.
But I think there are a couple things we can all agree on: Girl Scout cookies, however delicious, are pretty expensive on a per-cookie basis. They’re also not available year-round.
A couple years ago, poking around food blogs on the Internet (as you do) I discovered a wonderful solution to this problem:... READ MORE
How the Piggy Cookie Crumbles
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Wednesday, January 19, 2011
(Updated: Here’s the recipe!)
Two days ago, 4-year-old Daniel spent the better part of an hour browsing the pages of one of the girls’ cookie cookbooks. Frequently, he called me over to show me hat he thought was a particularly yummy-looking photo.
I found his interest in baked goods endearing and I was in a capable mood, so I told him to pick any recipe he wanted and I would buy the ingredients and... READ MORE

If gingerbread houses seem passé (or beyond you),
the folks at King Arthur Flour have some other nifty ideas.
How about a ginger votive? Ginger placecard? Ginger giftbox?

Got Cookies?
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Food on Friday, December 10, 2010
As Kate Wicker noted last week, the sweet scent of seasonal cookie swaps is in the air!
I’m actually participating in one with some friends this evening, and we’ll be teaming it with a simple supper and some mid-December relaxation. Ahhh.
I thought I’d share my recipe for the Raspberry Squares I’ll be bringing (recipe adapted from an old Southern Living Christmas cookies book). They are coconut-chewy... READ MORE
