Obsessed with food and foolproof recipes. Pastry chef in another lifetime, clinical psychologist in this one. Raised in the midwest, living in California with two wild puppies and a teenager.
I was that kid who asked for apple crisp instead of a birthday cake. Made this tonight, served hot with a scoop of ginger ice cream.

Cold, cloudy, drizzly day. Perfect for spicy white bean chicken chili, topped with sharp cheddar, avocado, cilantro and tortilla chips.

My pies always look derpy but taste pretty good. Hard to go wrong with fresh peaches. Next time I'll add a little almond extract...

Made blueberry pancakes for Sunday morning! The secret is lemon zest and a pinch of cinnamon.

Does anyone else look at the weather forecast when planning their meals for the week? I was excited to see a cooler week, so I made this cheesy baked sausage pasta.

Very few of my recipes from the 80's have made it to 2025. This is one of them. Peanut Butter Buddy Bars for the win

It is impossible not to start the day off right with oatmeal, even if that day is 90 degrees. Apple cider oatmeal for the win.

Made mint chocolate chip cookies for back to school and then absentmindedly snacked on them all day. My daughter got one and a half (eaten) cookie in her lunch.

Too hot to turn on the oven, so dinner tonight is chickpea curry made on the stove. Garlic naan from the store and plums from a local orchared.

Pie shakes are one of the most delicious things I've ever had. Take a slice of pie and throw it in the blender when you make a milkshake. You won't regret it.

What foods have you tried to force yourself to like? Did it work? For me, olives (yes!), beets (nope), caramel (meh). I've been hiding yogurt and bananas in things for years for my husband. He still hates bananas, but tolerates yogurt. #blueskyfood #blueskycooking #Foodie #Cooking #Cooksky #foodsky

This tea is a lovely thing to look forward to on a cold morning or after a long, dispiriting day. Like a warm hug in a mug. Recipe below.

If you make your cookies small and then eat thrice as many, does that still count?

I created a recipe Substack mainly for my daughter. She will be leaving home soon and I want her to be able to make her favorites ("Mom! So embarrassing..")

Before and after. Why is it that breakfast cake made in the afternoon never makes it to breakfast the next day?
