Fitter, happier, more productive, and more pie

Attention Everyone. I have found my new favorite pie crust. So, throw away all your other recipes. Don’t listen to anyone else when they tell you they have the best pie crust. I have it. I found it. It’s mine now. Mine. And you’re going to benefit from it. You, if you’re near me, because [...]

Moosewood Muffins

Hey jerks, here are a bunch of healthy and delicious muffins. With pumpkins. And apples. BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

And they’re not even cake in muffin form, so I was wrong about that always being the case. They’re really real muffins. They couldn’t be put in a loaf pan and baked as bread. They couldn’t be [...]

Thumb cookies

Oh reader please please read that title like “some cookies” with a lisp. Please do. There, now don’t you feel better?

Can I be honest? I’m going to be honest, since 80% of this blog’s purpose is my own catharsis (heyyyy ego!). I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m in a funk, friends. I’m like, [...]
