  • Recipe – How to Use Leftover Puff Pastry

    Posted on November 26, 2018November 26, 2018

    Sometimes there are recipes that create leftovers.  I don’t mean leftovers of the finished result, but bits of the ingredients that you wouldn’t necessarily use again because they would go bad before you could use them.  When I made the spinach artichoke pull-apart bread, there was a ridiculous amount of leftover puff pastry.  Because while the […]

  • DIY/Recipe – How to Make a Galaxy Cake

    Posted on September 26, 2018September 26, 2018

    Back in the summer when we were planning H’s birthday party, I offered to make her cake like I have done in the past.  She said yes, and we talked about what kind she wanted, and the first thing she said was “Galaxy”.  Sure, I could do that.  So we sat down and watched some […]

  • Recipe – Hummus

    Posted on August 17, 2018August 17, 2018

    I mostly grew up in the DC area, and so have strong memories of doing a lot of the traditional “summer in DC” things.  If you live on the Virginia side of the river, one of the most iconic and fun activities during the summer (at least in my mind) is a trip to Wolf […]

  • Recipe – Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Loaves

    Posted on July 20, 2018July 19, 2018

    I’m going to be honest here when I say that I have no idea where this recipe comes from.  Sort of.  I got it from my mom, who sent me a scanned recipe page about 12 years ago.  The bottom of the page is cut off, and while there is an author name attached, searching […]

  • Recipe – Poultry Stock + Noodle Soup

    Posted on February 5, 2018February 2, 2018

    I don’t remember the first time I made stock, but I do remember feeling immensely proud of myself afterwards.  Making stock always feels to me like the kind of thing that was done in the 40s or 50s by scrimping housewives who wanted to use all their scraps.  And as the kind of person who […]

  • Recipe – Spinach Lasagna

    Posted on January 18, 2018January 11, 2018

    This feels like a recipe wherein I am cheating.  It’s the kind of meal you can make for dinner guests and feel fancy, or that makes a lot of lunches and dinners to go in the freezer or fridge.  The recipe is not one I came up with myself (despite the tagging system), but from […]

  • Recipes – Thanksgiving Foods

    Posted on November 20, 2017November 20, 2017

    This year for the first time ever, I hosted Thanksgiving.  “But wait,” you say, “Thanksgiving isn’t until Thursday!”  Ah, my friend, but you know about how the growing trend of Friendsgivings, right?  Well, my young adults group at church has been having a Friendsgiving dinner for the past three years, and this year I volunteered […]

  • Recipe – Bran Muffins

    Posted on August 2, 2017August 2, 2017

    Oh man guys.  Guess who forgot to take a picture of finished muffins?  The answer, in case you haven’t guessed, is this gal.  “But Maggie,” you ask (plaintively), “How will we know if the muffins are any good if we can’t see a picture of the finished product?”  Well, this is a case where you’re […]

  • Recipe – Easy Chicken Burrito Bowl

    Posted on January 19, 2017January 19, 2017

    I am generally a predictable creature – one with habits that are hard to break.  Some may call them ruts.  There are recipes that I fall back on time and time again.  And that’s ok because I’m fine with eating the same thing over and over again.  But sometimes it’s nice to change things up. […]

  • Recipe – Basic Pasta Bake

    Posted on October 18, 2016October 18, 2016

    There are the foods that we make when we’re feeling lazy, and for me that is undoubtedly pasta.  I have a tendency to go with the most basic, and possibly the least good for me versions of pasta too that are essentially all butter and cheese.  I have been known to eat the beigest of […]
