This is so weird right now looking at my table back home in Berlin right now in these photos. Wasn’t long ago I was eating this awesome spicy mac and cheese and chatting with our German neighbors out the window. Now Samuel and I are driving in a McDonald’s scented car through the beautiful woods … Read more
We are now visiting my family in Michigan for one more week before we head back to Deutschland. It’s nice seeing the old crew again. My little 8 year old sister Grace has been following me around all day teaching me card games and doing my hair. I think I might have to kidnap … Read more
Happy Halloween! As usual, I kind of failed on the posting seasonal/holiday themed recipes thing. No spider web cupcakes or caramel apples here! I don’t know if it’s defiance or laziness that makes me do these things, but contrary to what you may think, kringle actually has no relation to Kris Kringle or Christmas whatsoever … Read more

Life with a baby is going well. He’s still a perfect angel, hardly cries, sleeps like a charm, etc. Not to mention the fact that ever since he had his first bath, his hair is CURLY (most days). As for me, not only have I gotten back to baking, but I already have gotten back … Read more

I realize I haven’t given you much of a taste of German cuisine while I’ve lived here in Berlin. That is about to change. As you probably have heard me complaining about before, the winters here are rough. No, it’s not the low temperatures or crazy blizzards. Those would be quite welcome on a rainy, … Read more
