Ok, quick update before getting into this delicious guest post by the beautiful and talented Thea of Baking Magique. Last time we talked, I was still off in California stargazing. Since then, I finished my research project on supernovae, went to Disneyland (!!) and visited my cousins in Honolulu. Now I’m finally home, working at […]

yeasted king cake
Snow days are better than regular holidays for three reasons… 1) No expectations of doing something super fun and fabulous. When people ask me “what did you do with your snow day?” “rolled around on the floor for a while,” “watched three episodes of Jerseylicious” (does that show still exist?), and “played with dough all […]
fool-proof no-knead bread
Fall is a crazy wild ride. There are a million-and-one things to do and I used to wish that I could do all million-and-one things at once (or at least a nice hand-full of them). I used to think that doing just one thing at any given moment was a luxury — sometimes, even […]
p to the seventh panini
The school year has finally come to a close, and I’ve accumulated a lot on the way. Confession: I lug around a lot. You can tell by the weight of my backpack as I struggle up the metro escalator (I believe that life’s to short to stand on an escalator). So I like to hang […]
sweet bread from valtellina
If everyone in the world had to bake a loaf of bread from scratch, the world would be a better place. Let me elaborate. Basically, bread baking is a huge pain in the butt. It requires patience, planning skills, and upper body strength — all things that I lack… If it’s such a pain, […]
julia's banana bread
I just woke up from one of the best dreams I’ve ever had. At the moment, I am sitting on Amtrak — rolling through miles of factory towns and burnt out buildings on my way to New York City. As much as I love the city that never sleeps, I seriously needed some sleep. Thank […]
recipe showdown: healthy banana bread
This sh!t is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Thank you Gwen Stefani. Whenever I hear Gwen, I am instantly transported back to 4th grade when I went to a very strict religious school. I still vividly remember the first day of school — I got dressed in my rumpled white chapel dress, and penny loafers. When I saw […]
"gourmet" auntie anne's pretzels
Today I went shopping with my friend Tessa. Exams are starting on Monday, and after hitting the chemistry book for hours on end, we both deserved a little bit of retail therapy. A few peplum tops and lululemon sports bras, and my woes of homogenous mixtures were far behind me! While we were shopping […]
how to: croissants
I received a request on my recipe for butter croissants to do a photo tutorial. I have to admit, the recipe can look quite daunting when printed in black and white (almost as daunting as the history outline I should be writing now). But I have made croissants numerous times using this technique and every […]
muesli bread
During the school week, I usually have about 3 minutes and 24 seconds to grab breakfast. Staples include overnight oats with chia seeds, toast with mashed banana and almond butter, and pre-made quinoa with coconut milk. All of these breakfasts are made the night before and take less than a minute to dump in a […]
