introductions are in order

Meet Eva, the best thing I ever made.

blitz bliss

Blueberry almond blitz küchen. While I will sometimes embark on ambitious baking endeavors, I suspect I'll always prefer the quick fix that delivers a tasty treat.

charred, i'm sure

Grilled pork kebabs. Pork has always been runner-up to chicken on my list of preferred proteins...until now.

grains on the brain

Blueberry and wheat berry salad. If you had told me a few years ago that I'd become smitten with grain salads, I would've laughed in your face (as politely as possible).

match made in heaven

Chicken cheesesteak sloppy joes. It seems like an obvious hybrid (like the zorse), but until I saw it, I had never thought about it before (like the zorse!)!

same song, different tune

Blueberry delight. When you find a delicious recipe that also happens to be versatile, it's a baker's responsibility to try different variations of it.

totally transcendent

Lazy daisy cake. Bold statement: This is the most delicious cake I've had in quite some time. Our wedding cake* is probably the most recent cake that can even come close!

*Our fresh wedding cake, I should make clear. To say that tasting it out of the freezer on our first anniversary was disappointing would be a drastic understatement.
