My first tomato, originally uploaded by lclea.
Isn’t this the cutest little bean? I really wanted to have my very first garden this year. I come from a family of farmers on both sides, and I really should be able to do this right? I mean how hard is it to grow things? [...]

I’m a little late getting this up as I spent the day traveling back from Colorado. I looove Colorado and one day may just not return from a vacation out there (I actually did this before, so don’t doubt…)
I had a fun time making this cake, and [...]

Daring Baker’s Challenge, Pizza
I watched an old episode of Seinfeld last night, the one where Kramer wants to open a “make your own pizza” restaurant, like the cook your own steak ones. I think it was Jerry who said, “Who wants to make their own pizza?” Well, I [...]

I’m sort of known for my chocolate chip cookies. I’ve made them for friends, family, even made them and sold them for a fund raiser. They are tasty and soft and they don’t spread as thin as the traditional Toll House cookies do (at least for me). When I’m asked for my [...]

Hazelnut genoise, or how I made Swiss praline buttercream bend to my will
This month in the middle of going back to school, moving and basically making almost every major life change someone can make that involves only one person, I decided to become a Daring Baker. This is an online challenge [...]

I’ve thought about this dychotomy a lot lately. It seems like we live in a world where fast and easy is better for many people. We’ve lost touch with quality. Really good locally owned restaurants used to be commonplace in my hometown growing up. Slowly, most of them have gone away [...]

So, a show of hands, who bakes their own birthday cakes? Well, I do. Not only do I enjoy cooking, but I also think I can make a scratch cake better than most of our local bakeries. That’s not bragging, that’s living in an area [...]

radish, originally uploaded by lclea.
This is why I love the farmer’s market. Our local supermarkets just don’t carry things like this; long, beautiful two-toned radishes. They were crunchy and not too bitey. I don’t like a really bitey radish. Have you ever sautéed a radish? Try slicing them into round [...]

I do. Love it. If you haven’t ever been, try it. Not only do you get the freshest produce, and the great farm raised meat and poultry, but you meet the best people. I come from farmers great grandparents, and beyond farmed, so I guess it’s in my blood. I [...]
