Keeping it Sweet with DO Cookie Dough
Posted on September 11, 2015
An interview with Kristen Tomlan of Cookie DO NYC! A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet Kristen, the smart, creative and very sweet owner of DŌ. I was so impressed with her, the company, and the sample she brought me (cake batter!), that I asked if she would send me some additional…
Vegan Apple Cake
Posted on September 9, 2015
A healthier spin on the classic apple dessert, this cake does not disappoint. No mixer needed for this apple cake! I’m pretty lucky that any photos of this cake exist. I baked it one morning while L was napping and then was setting up my shoot that afternoon while he decided that an afternoon nap…

My Favorite Pumpkin Bread
Posted on September 2, 2015
Moist and flavorful pumpkin bread. This classic recipe is perfect for pumpkin bread or pumpkin muffins. *Sometimes things need a refresh. My favorite pumpkin bread was originally posted in 2010 with some painful-to-the-eyes photos. And while my photography skills have thankfully improved, the recipe, that I've loved ever since I was a kid, has not changed.…

Happy weekend! This week actually few by and so much happened. Good things started when my brand new niece, Ariel, was born last Saturday morning. We got to meet her just a few hours later and it was so different and wonderful to hold a brand new baby. It’s been a while! If you follow…
Easy Honey Cake for Rosh Hashanah
Posted on August 26, 2015
An easy and traditional Rosh Hashanah dessert to celebrate a sweet new year. The Jewish holidays are so early this year so it’s a bit of a rush to get organized. Granted, I don’t have that much to do for the holidays, just some baking, but it’s hard to think about those warm fall flavors…
