Hi friends! How is your summer shaping up? We’re doing pretty well over here, all things Covid-19/work/general life considered. The heat isn’t exactly something we love, but we’re coping by staying extra hydrated and seeking out shade. Due to all the socially distant garden visits …
Sweet, sweet friends – hi! Today marks the 15th day of our Covid-19 induced self-isolation. For the most part, we’re doing pretty fine. We’re keeping busy, trying to limit the number of times we have to go out for necessities, and attempting to remain relatively …
Do you remember way back in November’s Monthly Musings post when I told you I was “low-key obsessed” with a new cookbook, Sister Pie? I lied to you. I was – and still am – much more obsessed than what could ever be described as “low-key”. …
I know what you’re thinking: more pie? Can’t she even go four posts before blogging about pie again? Well, it would seem that I can’t. Having said that, this isn’t just any pie – this is a cider caramel apple pie from Erin’s fabulous book ‘The …
It’s time to admit it: I am addicted to making pie. I can barely go a week without making some form or other. Double crust, single crust, galettes, pie-crumble hybrids, hand pies. Usually an all butter dough, but sometimes a buttermilk flavoured one. All types …
Is it entirely blasphemous to say that I was never really all that into strawberries? Don’t get me wrong, I’d snack on strawberries if they were sitting in front of me, I’d enjoy them as the garnish for a cake, but I was never entirely …
A few weeks ago, Boyfriend’s parents spoiled us all by inviting the whole troop to accompany them down the country to a lovely home they’d rented out in Kerry for two weeks. I’m working on an upcoming post about our trip, but basically it promised …
Today’s post was originally an incredibly delicious Maple Syrup Apple Upside-down Cake, but it was just so damn ugly that I simply couldn’t bring myself to actually post it to the blog, despite the fact that I’d already edited the photos & written the post. …
Now that the Pumpkin Pie post is out of the way we can finally get to talking about real pie that actually tastes as good as it looks. Hallelujah for that! Welcome to part three of the apple fest, friends! It’s good & salted & pumped …
Hi! You’re probably wondering what the heck is going on right now, seeing as we’re right in the middle of a mini apple fest & this pumpkin pie you see before your eyes has exactly zero apples in it. Well, I thought we needed a …
Here’s the thing: I love food. I especially love baked goods, sweet things in general, anything to do with chocolate, fancy desserts, & any form of ice cream contraption you can dream up. I eat pretty much anything delicious & that works out well for …
Someday soon I hope to not have to start a blog post with a list of excuses as to why I haven’t been posting. Today is not that day. Basically, I took a step back from everything. Finished college, left work, bid The Boyf farewell, …
So I was going to let Valentine’s Day pass me by without my doing anything for the blog & it was going to be fine. No biggie, right? But then I started thinking seriously about it all. I remembered how good I used to be …
Sometimes things happen. Sometimes these things can change your life. A thing like falling for someone & spending two years with them without barely noticing the time go by. Things like going out of your way to do something nice for this person, wanting to …
I’m one of those people who let everything pile up on top of me all at once & I end up getting nothing done. Need to make it up to Dad for missing Father’s Day? Leave it for a few weeks, be fine. Need to …
