German Schwäbisch Style Pretzels

Close up of one deep brown german schwabisch style pretzel cooling on a wire rack with other pretzels around it.

German Schwäbisch style pretzels and I go waaaaaay back.

I remember my Mom buying frozen pretzels from that same delicatessen to bake fresh on a Saturday morning,Read more

Banana Cream Pie with swirls of whipping cream on top of various sizes. A blue with white pattern tea towel lays underneath.

Earlier this month my Oma turned 92… 92! I can hardly believe it. Almost every year when I ask her what she would like me to bake for her birthday she requests this banana cream pie. It is her absolute favourite. Although, she threw me a curveball last year telling me to surprise her, whichRead more

A few days ago I found out that a friend’s breast cancer has re-appeared. It was a strange kind of conversation as I expected to be quite triggered since breast cancer is what took my Mom’s life, yet this friend had a very positive outlook, was sure she knew how and why it had re-appearedRead more

This german buttercream spelt torte took a bit of a journey to turn out the way it is in the photos. Back in March I asked my Oma if she had any requests for her birthday cake. After convincing her that I was going to make something even if she said kept saying I didn’tRead more

Two dark golden brown loaves of oats, honey and spelt no knead bread cooling in bread pans on a wire cooling rack.

In just over a month my little one will turn two. While there is a small part of me that feels like the time has flown by, another, much larger part of me still feels the weight of all the days that have passed, all the days that I barely made it through and allRead more

There is a long stretch of sunshine reaching towards me as I write this, spreading warmth and light across the room, making it almost too warm to continue wearing the thickly woven sweater I put on earlier today against the morning chill. If I crane my neck I can just see the tips of theRead more

Whew does it ever feel good to be back! It’s been a long 10 months since I posted anything here. Becoming a Mom last year completely changed my life. It has been one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had, but my patience has been tested at every turn and a blindinglyRead more

Five spelt trail mix cookies cooling on a wire rack on a white countertop

So when one of those friends I’ve known my entire life (Hi Erica! 😀 ) asked me to create a trail mix/granola type cookie I was thrilled…. and it gets me baking something other than the “typical” recipes I usuallyRead more

One loaf of spelt flour no knead bread scored open like a flower sitting on a rectangular piece of parchment paper with a white marble countertop underneath.

This is no joke my first blog post ever… it scares the living crap out of me and makes me want to leap up and down at the same time. This whole “food blog thing” as I have been calling it has been simmering around in my mind for more than a year now. Over theRead more
