I got to photograph this sweet girl last weekend. We made Melissa's waffles last weekend, as well, and they are amazing. Next I must try Sara's. You've probably already seen this, but it's so interesting and puts things into perspective. I've fallen in...

By vanilla bean

It's muffins again. I know, I know, I've been obsessive. But, they've sort of become my go-to snack (no white sugar! or flour!) and I've been experimenting with new flavor combinations as friends line up for hand outs. Also, I've been having lots of trouble...

Mr. Sufjan Stevens released this lost song, and I can't stop listening to it [also, that's his tumbler page?] This smoothie is crazy. I mean that in a good way. It's been my breakfast a lot this week. This is very silly, but if you're an Arrested Development...

I often find myself flitting between two seasons. I do happen to live in a State that seems to only bring winter and summer, with more of the first. There is no mild weather here; we are freezing cold to blazing hot, with only a handful of perfect days...

Pablo Neruda: Give us this day orange daylight, and every day, and may mankind's heart, and its clusters of fruit, be both bitter and sweet: irrepressible source of freshness, may it hold and protect the earth's mysterious simplicity, and the perfect oneness...

"Who are you?" asked the little prince, and added, "You are very pretty to look at." "I am a fox," the fox said. "Come and play with me," proposed the little prince. "I am so unhappy." "I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed." "Ah! Please...

A few weeks ago I shot some photos for Little Neetchers, a friend's cloth diapering company. The cute little model in most of these photographs is my god-daughter, and we made a [mostly] fun morning of it. The photos are for some really great handmade diaper...

I have some links to share with you today. It's been snowing all day here, and it seems like it might be the perfect weekend for this sort of thing. First of all, the above picture is the Sprouted Kitchen's dark chocolate almond butter cups, but with peanut...

I don't know if this is the place for it, but I have to come out and say that I am still terribly upset about how this season of Downton Abbey ended. And yes, I had no idea it was coming, and yes, as [A] has pointed out to me several times it is just a...

I've been having so much fun playing with the new VSCO film, and am in love with the dreamy and slightly magical quality it adds to each photograph. It's been slightly overwhelming [there was so much in this pack!] but I am already finding a few favorites....

My daughter has been dreaming of a Valentine's cake for weeks, after seeing a heart-shaped cake in this little cookbook she received for Christmas. It was sort of a last minute affair regardless of all her planning and sketching; I was up late last night...

Recently Timber Press asked me if I would like to review a cookbook, The Speedy Vegetable Garden by Mark Diacono and Lia Leendertz. I was intrigued with the premise: 'The book describe[s] the techniques of speedy cropping from seed sprouting in jars, trays...

Honey Cake with Fleur De Sel
By vanilla bean
02/09/13 18:42
The days aren't discarded or collected, they are bees that burned with sweetness or maddened the sting: the struggle continues, the journeys go and come between honey and pain. No, the net of years doesn't unweave: there is no net. They don't fall drop...

Blood orange pie

[Note: this is a re-post, again. I know, tacky. But! I love this pie, and the original post contained photos that made me cringe. So, when I had a chance to remake this pie, I decided to take some new photos, too.] So, I'm on this blood orange kick. I keep...

I stayed up too late; my eyes were burning as I rolled over to not enough sleep again. Suddenly, there in the dark, paragraphs came to me: brilliant, shiny words that had been rolling around inside me for months finally made their way out; they weaved into...

{Note: This is actually one of my very first blog posts, one I forgot about until recently. Thankfully I remembered this little recipe, because we've been eating it for dinner once a week since I re-discovered it. I'm posting it again because it's so good,...

I got to shoot some photos for YumEarth candy recently, and my own little ones and friends got to spend a morning eating candy and smiling for me. I discovered YumEarth lollipops at my local co-op about a year ago, and took some pictures just for fun. The...

I've had several baking failures the past few weeks, but these little pretties came out perfect. I had used the bittersweet chocolate filling many times at a coffeehouse I baked at so I knew it couldn't miss, only then it was in a large tart form with a...

It's Monday, and it's these muffins, again. But just a bit different. {I can't help it, they are so terribly good, and this is my most favorite combination yet.} I whipped these up one day last week on the fly; a dear friend was stopping by, and she needed...
