Well, it’s a rainy Sunday evening, and I am sitting in bed catching up on several (maybe a dozen at this point) episodes of Gossip Girl and sipping a basil-infused ...

New England Kitchen Antique Shopping
One of the many reasons I love working for Yankee Magazine is the ever-present excuse I have to browse antique shops throughout the region – all in the name of knowledge and research. I browse with equal enthusiasm for art, books, jewelry, knick-knacks…but I confess the first objects my eyes dart around the room for [...]
Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
After the chocolate chip cookie, I don’t think any cookie in America is more beloved than the peanut butter cookie. Yes, I know there are versions of chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, and peanut butter cookies made even more peanut-y thanks to the addition of chunky peanut butter or chopped, salted peanuts…but for me, this [...]
Vegetarian Chicken and Dumplings
No matter where I turn this time of year, I encounter recipes for Chicken and Dumplings that taunt me with their thick, chicken-y goodness. They’re a classic comfort food – right there next to the macaroni and cheese and beef stew – and now I can finally enjoy my own version with all of the hearty [...]
Portabella Mushroom Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Jalapeno
Note: The photos in this post are all from my Android phone, since I left my camera at work. Not as bad as I was expecting! Long story short, I saw a meaty version of this sandwich on Serious Eats and immediately started dreaming about the caramelized onion jalapeno combination, and the dream refused to die. [...]
Pretzel Bread
When I was in Fort Myers last summer visiting my cousin Jaime, she introduced me to pretzel bread. I am a lifelong soft pretzel fan, but had never seen it in loaf form, just the usual twists and nuggets. The bread Jaime had was rich and buttery with a golden pretzel “crust” and lots of coarse [...]
Homemade “Bedford Falls” Granola
The holiday season had me crunched for time this year. I wanted to give some sort of food gifts to my family, but cookies weren’t an option because my sister Courtney does a gorgeous job with cookies each year, and I still haven’t been able to master fudge. There wasn’t enough time to bake bread, [...]
Blueberry Buttermilk Cake
As I have said many times, I get a lot of magazines. They are split pretty evenly between food and mom magazines, which I think is totally normal for a single 30-year old woman with a weakness for cheap subscriptions to publications that trend towards crockpot recipes, “design on a dime” tips, and the occasional Jamie [...]
Citrus Basil Butter Cookies
Confession – I am ardently in love with fresh basil. Head over heels. Smitten kitten. I want to marry it. All of those things. Basil is wonderful in many Italian dishes and paired with its BFF’s, tomato and mozzarella, but basil is also a marvelous ingredient in buttery cookies, especially when you also add in [...]
Life Resolutions for 2012
Here we are on the heels of another new year. 2012 is already promising to be a great one for me up here in New Hampshire, and I have put together some major life goals to guide me during the next 12 months. Here they are in random order… I could work on this list all [...]
Your call is important to us, please continue to hold.
Hello friends! Thanks for bearing with me while I figure out how The Apron Archives is going to evolve now that I am doing a lot of blogging for work over at Yankee Magazine. I am hoping to still blog about the kitchen, but also incorporate some crafts and “life in New Hampshire” stuff…since my day-to-day [...]
