Birthdays call for cakes. Half birthdays, pudding. Cherub celebrated her four and half years in this world just this past Friday. We had pudding as a special I-turned-four-and-a-half dessert. Homemade chocolate pudding is no harder than a box mix, honestly. Just just need a few ingredients. Like anything else. But these few ingredients can make… Read More Because You’re Only 4 1/2 Once | Chocolate Pudding
My sister-in-law can bake. These blondies are her latest creation and chock-full of wonderful, local-to-Columbus ingredients from Krema Nut. They’re perfect for back to school snack and equally great for the beginning of football season.

It’s a dessert! Readers with a sweet tooth, rejoice! I have yet to put one up on PK, although they’re made around here occasionally. This one is dead simple. Mostly because it starts with leftover Indian-spiced Basmati. If you’ve been around the Kitchen much, you’ll remember how much I love curries. For the pudding, I… Read More Rose-scented Basmati Rice Pudding | Ohh, Lah Lah!
Why don’t I live in German Village again? Seriously. I think I’ll just move there to be closer to Pistacia Vera. I will, of course, gain 35 pounds over the course of a week or two because I would be there every. day. Three times a day. I knew the pastries were good.
