Whole Wheat Zucchini Bread I plunk a zucchini plant in the ground every single summer, even though I don't technically like zucchini. I can't help myself; it's just so green and reliable. Maybe the carrots are mediocre or the beans are wimpy. There will always be the loyal zucchini plant! It says, "You can grow things. Look at me! I turned into a baseball bat overnight! Love me!" I try to return the affirmation, "You are a good plant. You are strong and green. You are one of my top producers." But I think it knows how I secretly feel about its bland, watery existence. That I give it away at every opportunity. That I shred it and freeze it, not Keep Reading

Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie (recipe)
Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie (recipe) When the temperature dips below 60 and the leaves start changing colors, my husband Ed declares it Pumpkin Pie Season. The thought of only eating pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving would not fly at our house. All of October-February is open pie season. I have made my fair share of pumpkin pies. I'm happy it's high on his list of favorites because it is so simple to make (Don't tell Ed; homemade pie is a very powerful bargaining chip). You don't have to make a double crust or deal with any peeling or chopping. The single pie crust can certainly be homemade (How to Make Pie Crust from Scratch), but I have become totally Keep Reading
The difference between salted and unsalted butter
Butter: Salted vs. Unsalted If you peeked inside my refrigerator on any given day, it would look like an episode of Hoarders: Butter Edition. Just little butter-lined paths through my fridge. It's true. I have a ridiculous amount of butter on hand at all times. I start to get nervous if my stock drops below four pounds. Which is why I get especially excited for the grocery store sales in November and December. Bring on the sugar and spice and everything nice! Oh, butter. Butter is nice. So, what is the difference between salted and unsalted butter? The short answer, of course, would be salt. I used to buy salted butter exclusively because it Keep Reading

Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread (recipe)
Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Bread (recipe) Normally, I avoid doctors' offices like the plague. I have this fear of walking out with more symptoms than I came in with. Two weeks ago, I was feeling really crummy so I finally headed to urgent care. I have to admit, it wasn't half bad! In fact, I was pretty pleased with the whole arrangement. Who knew urgent care is the place to be on a Monday night?! The nurses apologized for the wait and asked if I needed anything. The waiting room was empty and quiet and stocked with current magazines. What is this, a medical spa?! I thought of my husband at home, putting four kids to bed and sank deeper into Keep Reading
