Thin Crust Pizza Dough
Happy Memorial Day weekend! ‘Tis the season for grilling but with the crazy wind outside I decided to move cooking inside. The art of perfect pizza has been a labor of love – and a lot of cardboard crust. The biggest key to a good flavor? Patience. I’m not good at it, but it’s the key to the texture and taste. There’s just something...

Classic Burger Bun
Oh, heyyy đđ» Long time no see! I posted these buns on Instagram the other day and I realized I’ve been a bad friend for not sharing. Ok it’s worse than that. When I downloaded the WordPress app on my new phone it reminded me it’s been over a year since my last post. In my defense, it was a busy year. Husband. House....

Summer Asparagus Penne with Artichoke & Cashew Pesto
I have a habit lately. I get a great picture of food and post it to Instagram and say “blog post to follow!” A blog post never follows. Like, ever. Not today though. This one is too good not to share so I’m posting it while my belly is full, my mind is fresh, and my glass of rose is still cold. The recipe...

Gluten Free Soft Baked Pretzels
It’s Pride in Seattle and it turns out I live at the epicenter. In addition to the inspiring atmosphere of celebrating love (and people watching of epic proportions), there’s a street fair with all of the expected food typically reserved for closing time and cash only establishments. By the time I got home all I could think about was food on sticks and… Pretzels. I...

Coffee House Chocolate Chip Muffins
It’s 34 and raining outside.  If I have to deal with this weather, I’m going to eat my way to happy. This morning, happy came in the form of muffins. Coffee house style chocolate chip muffins, to be specific.  You know the kind… that sit temptingly behind that glass with a crisp, rustic outside, that coarse raw sugar glistening under the soft lighting, a...

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Obviously these are gluten free – they’d really ruin my Thanksgiving if they weren’t – but it doesn’t seem fair to label them in a way that could imply that they’re anything short of awesome, perfectly chewy, with a just-crunchy-enough edge cookie – a universally loved treat. Now, I had never made this recipe, and in addition to it being a first round go,...

DIY Burt’s Bees Copycat Lip Balm
It’s November and, from what I’ve been told, snowing in Boston.  I was ready for summer to be over but I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to fall.  I was lucky to wrap up October with the treat of having ShareABitOfLove out in Boston last week, but she left for home with us both having a laundry list of incomplete crafts that just simply couldn’t...

Chilled Avocado & Cucumber Soup
It’s here. Finally. The warm weather that makes me choose salad over mac & cheese and a run over hibernating with a book, blanket and glass of wine. Ok, fine. Claiming the wine is seasonal is a total lie, I just switch from pinot noir to pinot grigio. After a glorious weekend with some of my favorite, favorite people in New Orleans I came back craving...

Mushroom, Goat Cheese & Arugula Pizza with Cheesy {Gluten Free} Crust
About 9 months ago, I thought I had come close to perfecting the art of gluten free pizza. Â It was definitely a strong start, and the recipe, with minimal modification, has been my go-to since originally constructing it. Â I knew even at the time it might need some modification, and it’s still one to keep in the repertoire, but I’m here to tell you...

The Natural Ginger’s Gluten Free Flour Blend
As you venture into the world of gluten free baking, it doesn’t take long to realize that behind every delicious creation is a reliable gluten free flour blend (and boy are there suddenly a lot to choose from). I have tried (what feels like) them all. Bob’s Redmill, Pamela’s, King Arthur, Trader Joe’s… others I can’t even recall because I’ve been exploring so long. The best I’ve found (to my personal...
