Can you curb emotional eating during the holidays and enjoy a slice of Gingerbread?

December 5, 2012

I started up Spotify’s Ultimate Holiday Playlist, danced to the kitchen, and hummed above the noise of the mixer. It’s early December, and I have been craving holiday spirit. And my attempts to satisfy that craving have all involved sugar. Cookies, pie, gingerbread. Emotional eating occurs throughout the year for many people and is characterized […]

What’s there to decide about Cinnamon Rolls?

February 14, 2012

I made a decision earlier this year. A new year’s resolution in fact: to learn how to work with yeast. So far, I have made pizza dough, naan, and these here cinnamon rolls. I’m doing pretty good! I realized though the decision to follow through on such a resolution has required me to make a […]

Unprocessed is loosely defined by the creater of this challege, Andrew Wilder of Eating Rules, as “any food that could be made by a person […]

Should I make a family tradition of Chili Pepper Deviled Eggs?

April 24, 2011

How is it that family traditions come about? Why do we dye Easter eggs, or bake hot cross buns, or prepare lamb with mint jelly? My childhood memories include egg cracking contests, lots of chocolate bunnies, and easter baskets filled with candy hidden in the oven, which would later also produce an aromatic honey baked ham. I […]
