Savoring life in the Berkshires
Finally, it’s CSA season again! Every year, I remind myself that the part of spring before our pick ups resume is the worst. I don’t plan meals, we eat too many convenience foods, I feel frustrated with my grocery shopping and I vow to do better – there is no reason I can’t menu plan or…
It took longer to get there than I wanted it to, but Brian and I finally found our way to Tyler and Pine Bakery this weekend. I’ve been hearing and reading and dreaming about stopping in for months – even purchasing items from the bakery at the Downtown Pittsfield Farmers Market this winter – but…
This is my fourteenth King Arthur Flour Bakealong challenge and, so far, the April Almond Puff Loaf takes the award for easiest to create and most convenient. Not only does the recipe say that it takes less than 2 hours to make, I was able to make it over the course of 3 days – starting the…
