About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! As you wrap up your week, I hope it's been a good one! I also hope you have big plans for the weekend—be it baking, visiting, shopping, or simply relaxing! Or maybe all of the above! That's what I have on tap this weekend, hopefully, all of the above, plus a quick tour of local tulip fields. It's the season, and I don't want to miss a second of it. Speaking of baking... So many of you are baking cookies this week, and I love that. Cookies...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! Have you recovered from the holidays? I have to admit, it's taken me a minute! Last weekend, my family gathered, indulged, cooked, roasted, basted, baked, hunted eggs, traversed back and forth from the airport, and then traveled some more. And cooked some more. While it was so incredibly wonderful... this week, I felt it! With a grande oat milk latte in hand and hours of travel ahead, my mind had time to dream and ponder new seasonal recipes...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! And Happy Easter! A U.S. National Forecast began this way: "Hunting for your Easter forecast? The tail end of this week will be wintry in the West and mostly sunny and warm in the East. Happy Easter." In other words... can I move to the East? Actually, for my part of the West, I'm seeing tapering rain and wind, giving way to perhaps a Sunday-perfect egg-hunting day. I hope you have Sunday-perfect egg hunting weather, delightfully memorable...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! And Happy Spring! It feels like the world is waking up, and all things are becoming bright, new... and beautiful! I hope you're enjoying the season in your neck of the woods! So many of you emailed me this week with questions and comments about St. Patrick's Day. It felt like we were celebrating it together, and that was a lot of fun! There is something about this season that puts me in a baking mood. I'm not sure if it's the blossoms...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! And happy St. Patrick's Day weekend! I hope you're planning to make some tasty treats and Irish-inspired food! I love weekend holidays. Somehow, it extends a one-day event into at least three (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). To which I will happily make all of our favorites. Beginning with a couple of batches of our favorite soda bread: Irish Soda Bread with Buttermilk & Raisins Traditional Brown Irish Soda Bread (for me 💚) We have several...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! We've had a few glorious days of almost spring in Seattle this week. Mornings in my neck of the woods have been in the 20s, with frosty, sparkling crystals shimmering in the morning sunshine. And yet the birds are singing, cherry blossoms are almost blooming, and sheltered daffodils are bright and pretty. It's the best of almost spring. With these chilly mornings, I'm still making hardy breakfasts, cozy soups, and warming meals until the...

About | Recipes | Menus | Tea | Shop Happy Friday! It's unofficially here. And will be official in 19 days! But beautiful pink blossoms in Seattle let me pretend that spring is here. And that inbetween time of longer days, promising buds, combined with chilly frosty mornings, will soon come to an end. Happy sigh. I love new seasons, new growth, the promise of longer days, and a little sun on my skin. For those of you living in warmer climates... you KNOW what I mean. My dearest friends cannot...
