Cheese Stuffed Gochujang Buns
If you’re a fan of GBBO, you may have witnessed one of Dylan’s handshakes from Paul on bread week for his Gochujang Buns. Well, I’ve done them 3 times in the last week, only once following Dylan’s winning recipe, and they’ve all been amazing- we made burgers last night on buns weighing 140 g each,…
Toasted Pecan & Dark Chocolate Scones

Starting From Scratch
Happy New Year. I’ve started over many times. New houses, new towns, new countries, new jobs… but has any of that prepared me for this new life without the person I’ve shared so many of those milestones with? With the amazing love of my kids and our incredible friends, I can feel the hope of…

Simple goodness
One of the best things I remember about school lunches, was the no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies. Come on, besides sitting next to Connie and Stephanie (and giggling over Tommy and Allen) and mashed-potatoes and yeast roll day, you know this was your favorite, too! This easy, no-frills, zero complications morsel is forgiving, too. You can…
Perfection and Ravioli
Boy, what a year it’s been! We’ve all had things that challenged us, and if we’re lucky, we didn’t break. Cracked maybe, but like the Japanese art of kintsugi, our “gold-filled resin” will highlight our personal strengths, our forged bonds we’ve made with our neighbors. [Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If a…
