Yes we’re on the topic of ramps again. I apologize for being a weird esoteric ingredient promoter. But what can I say? I’m living up to my snobby namesake. (The Gourmet Gourmand strikes again). But, I did promise you a ramps recipe in my ramps info post, and I intend…

Consider this my 2016 Easterly contribution to the blogosphere. But seriously guys. Can we just pause to revel in all that is carroty and cakey? I used to think I hated carrot cake, and then I realized that I just hate nuts in baked goods. Don’t get me wrong, there’s…

These blackberry breakfast bars are hearty, buttery, crumbly, and oh so good. Confession- I’ve never made “dessert bars” before, although this is an incredibly popular food blogging item. I guess it’s like a square cookie with some variety of topping or filling? (Question- Do real people make these, or is…
