The Bread and Breakfast
Fresh. Local. Jumbo.
The recipes featured in this post kind of represent my life right now. All. Too. Perfectly. Close to the beginning of the school year, a teacher normally feels about a thousand emotions a day. Between the highs of a full twenty minute lunch break, and the lows of teaching math to students who are pretending they’ve …
Traveling: an experience that brings perspective and new knowledge, which leads to unordinary discoveries hard work: tiring and hella expensive That there folks, is the definition of “traveling” from the Daly Dictionary (coming to a Barnes and Noble near you soon). Looking back after a few weeks of normalcy, I can definitively say that my …
I’m not going to even try to start with a catchy beginning here. Instead, I’m just going to give you a heads up from the start: this recipe includes over a pound of butter, and over two pounds of chocolate. Consider yourself warned. Now that you’ve had a chance to put your eyes back in your …

Bonjour! This week, I am proudly embracing my French roots…by making French pastry of course! You see, the majority of the time, when I am asked about my nationality, I boast about my Irish heritage. My name is Erin for goodness sake. Erin Go Bragh…”Ireland Forever”? How could my response be any different? But, when …

Surprise! This week, in addition to the regularly scheduled blog on Saturday, you’re getting a bonus today! (Now that I think of it… for two out of four weeks, I’ve done a “bonus” blog. I fear a pattern is beginning…) This one was a surprise to me too. In fact, I hadn’t decided that I was …
