Do you know what memory I hold most dear when I look back at my childhood? It’s baking sugar cookies around Christmas time with my Mom. We poured flour all over the kitchen table, the oven was on full blast, and Mom had this beautiful wooden rolling pin (which now lives in my kitchen!).

Dandelion Tea Donuts Maybe this blog should be called Brooklyn Donut Girl. If you haven’t noticed I’m a bit donut obsessed lately… What else am I obsessed with? Tea. The craze started when I was elementary school and my mother started to serve me a cup each morning. Let’s just say it rapidly increased to me declaring a lot of tea whenever I go through a airport. It’s a strong love....
How to Grow Sugar Snap Peas Presprouting Sugar Snap Peas is a important step to growing big Sugar Snap Pea plants. By doing this you’ll be sure that the seeds won’t rot before they sprout under the soil (due to temperature). It also guarantees that you won’t be wasting your time planting some seeds that might not even sprout at all causing you to wait and fall back in the garden season schedule....

A week after the first vegetables went into the ground, the broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy and potatoes were planted. None of it went stress free through. We are still getting used to our new Upstate growing calendar (much colder than NYC, especially at nights) and with that comes a little heart break. The weather said we were in the clear at nights, but after everything was planted we had 2 sudden days below freezing which sadly killed a few of the plants....

We’ve had good success with growing celery in the garden for the first time this year. With the end of garden season in sight I’m left with a few beautiful heads of celery hanging out in my refrigerator. This leads me to the question of the week “What should I make with lots of celery”? Sure there’s the easy route of cutting celery up and dipping it in peanut butter for a delicious snack, but I wanted to throw my apron on and come up with something new for the celery....
Moist Chocolate Cake But first… we have to make it! It’s so hard for me to sometimes get past the batter. When I see a beater with chocolate batter or chocolate frosting on it I know they aren’t going in the sink or dishwasher. They are going straight into my mouth. Does your family ever fight over who gets to clean the beaters? As a kid when my dad was on the road, I would sometimes have to cook dinner for myself....
