Since going gluten-free, I’ve been on the hunt for a good donut. When I’m in New York, L.A. or Orlando, I eat Babycakes donuts shamelessly for three meals a day. But the rest of the year, I’m left with limited options. Most of those come from the freezer at the local natural foods store. Recently,…
Donuts Trendy in 2012?
It’s that time of year again. Every December and January the food world is inundated with lists of hot food trends for 2012. This time around, donuts got a little mention. The James Beard Foundation Blog predicts donuts (or doughnuts, as it may be in their more refined world) will continue with their resurgence in…
$5.20 Sweets: Chocomole
Happy 2012! Instead of creating 52 Sweet recipes this year, I’m going to focus on Sweets that can be made for $5.20 or so. My goal is to create something that includes at least 4 servings and, as always, is gluten- and dairy-free. The first Sweet this year is one you might remember from last…
A Sad Moment in My Donut World
A little over two years ago, I wrote about the donut shop that started it all for me, Dunkin’ Donuts in St. Joseph, Missouri. On December 27th, they sold their last donut. Click here for the news story from the St. Joseph newspaper. And click here for the story from The St Joe Channel. I’m…
Light ‘Em Up, wrapping it up!
In December I wrote this post about my Light ‘Em Up project, inspired by Lil Light O’ Mine. My plan was to spend an entire month committing random acts of holiday kindness. Each day I wrote on a little slip of paper the act of kindness: Here are some of my favorites: *Sent a good…
Sweet of the Week #52, Kale Kolada
Well, here it is, the end of another 52 Journey for me. And wouldn’t you know it, my final ingredient is one I have chosen not to bake into a Sweet. Instead, I’m putting it into the blender. You see, this is the end of three years of blogging about one Sweet every week. I’ve…
I Ate Here: Unforked
{Updates are included in the bottom of this post.} I need to tell you a little something before you read this post. See, I ate at the restaurant I’ll write about down the page over a month ago. I had decided not to write about my dinner at all, I’m not fond of writing about…
Sweet of the Week #51, Absinthe and Bubbly Cupcakes
This week’s Ingredient is Absinthe. I first sampled Absinthe while visiting Austria in 2001. The owner of the guest house where I was staying invited me to join other guests for a nightcap. What he served to us was hausgemacht absinthe, homebrewed with a combination of herbs passed down through at least 3 generations. Austrians…
Sweet of the Week #50, Black Olive Cake
This week’s Ingredient is Olives, suggested to me by my darling friend Keri. Specifically, I’ll be using black olives. And olive oil. I love olives. Olives and pickles. Pickles and olives. My two favorite snacks. As a child, olives had to be hidden from me. I’d pop one on each finger, eat them all…
Munchers Bakery, Lawrence, Kansas
On a cold, dreary Saturday, John and I made the drive to Lawrence to visit Muncher’s Bakery. Muncher’s is located in a small strip mall, near a grocery store we visit when in the area. How we managed to miss a donut shop for so long is beyond me. Recently someone told me we had…
