folgers in your cup(cake)

sharon — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 15:29:29 +0000

as you read last week, i love coffee, and am celebrating my birthday… so i took the opportunity to combine these two things– and i am glad i did! i spotted this recipe last year and for some reason never made it. i will not be making that mistake again.

pillow fight!

sharon — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:00:48 +0000

earlier this week, i brought you peanut butter pillow cookies filled with chocolate brownies; a little over a year ago, i showed you chocolate cookies filled with peanut butter; but my vegan friends have sadly had to miss out on both of these. i can’t [...]

g-f pancakes: take 2

sharon — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:41:11 +0000

i promised you gluten-free vegan pancakes, and gosh darnit, i fully intend on delivering! this recipe was definitely a step in the direction (MUCH better than the buckwheat ones), seeing as i was able to eat– and enjoy– these! it wasn’t quite the perfect pancake that i will be [...]

trial and error

sharon — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:35:53 +0000

so, first and foremost, apologies for the silence– the past couple weeks have been insane. between residual post-conference madness (the sales reps are all jazzed up and selling, which requires support from me and my team), filling three spots (which means countless interviews, processes, and doing some of the work for [...]

pizza-like food

sharon — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:06:13 +0000

as a former (and temporarily current) vegan and trying to eat gluten-free for a while, a lot of the foods i eat have quotation marks around the recipe title…one of the things i want to make soon is “apple pie” with “ice cream”; i can’t help but laugh, but hey, if [...]

…you may want some ice cream

sharon — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:23:34 +0000

one of the great things about vegan baking is that when things are undercooked, they are still safe to eat. i know some people are not afraid to eat raw eggs; i am not one of these people– unless they are pasteurized, i won’t serve raw eggs. since i was baking [...]

farewell, vincent

sharon — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:14:44 +0000

you may be wondering why it would seem that i have named this muffin vincent. in reality, i didn’t, well, at least not until i began writing this post.

when i moved into this home two years ago i found a number of bizarre things, such as [...]

a lovely formula

sharon — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:19:51 +0000

good friends + good food + good weather + good games = recipe for a great day!

-whew- having company over is a lot of work, especially if you are one of those do-it-all-yourself type people! yes, that means i am one of them. friday i made two cold pasta dishes: [...]

side by side

sharon — Sat, 22 May 2010 17:15:35 +0000

every so often i try to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe that i like better than the standard tollhouse one (see: Exhibit A), but i usually end up sticking with my old standby. this time, it was a recipe on the back of the flour package that i [...]

project: graduation

sharon — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:50:53 +0000

my friend sheryl, who i made the depression cake for, was planning her grad school graduation party, and in the discussions I agreed to make her a vegan cake. Initially, she requested a banana cake with peanut butter and chocolate, however I was unable to find a banana cake [...]
