It is my day off. What does that mean? I’m watching food network on Hulu on my laptop (and maybe the latest episode of the Bachelorette???). I know I should get some cleaning done, but I’m going to take it easy until just before my husband gets home and then I am going to clean…

Mixed Berry Fraisier
Jana of Cherry Tea Cakes was our July Daring Bakers’ host and she challenged us to make Fresh Fraisiers inspired by recipes written by Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson in the beautiful cookbook Tartine. Can you believe that I have never made a layered cake? Ever. Until this month. When I saw the Daring…
Kiwifruit Ice Cream
I recently learned that it isn’t good to refer to that brown fuzzy fruit with a green inside as a Kiwi, because a Kiwi is a person from New Zealand. It is also a flightless bird that inhabits the island of New Zealand. So today I give you Kiwifruit ice cream, not Kiwi ice cream….
Spaetzle
Have you ever heard of spaetzle? I was shocked when I first saw a recipe for it. First of all, because I had no idea what it was. Second, because it looked really easy and yummy. I was determined to make it. Then only a few days later, I got the new Daring Cook’s challenge….

Pumpkin Pasties
“Anything from the trolley? Anything from the trolley?” “Two pumpkin pasties, please.” Do you remember that part in Harry Potter? When Cho orders pumpkin pasties? I have always wanted to try these, and after making them I can see why Cho didn’t just get one! My husband, who lived in England for two years, says…
Acid Pop’s
As you know, I am featuring Harry Potter themed recipes up until the release of the last movie in the series on July 15th. My previous post was of the infamous Hogsmeade drink, Butter Beer. Today I am going to show you how to make Acid Pop’s. This is a fun, easy, quick idea that…
Harry Potter Countdown: Butter Beer
Maybe you are like me. If you are you will love the next couple of posts. Maybe you aren’t like me. If your not, you will probably think I am obsessive and crazy. That’s ok. Your loss. If you are like me, you are counting down the days until the next Harry Potter movie comes…
