    Sourdough Starter Basics

    ByMary Crozier April 4, 2020April 4, 2020

    Last October, I visited my son in Washington, D.C. His roommate is quite the baker and he generously shared some sourdough starter with me. I really didn’t know anything about this white, gooey substance, but I carefully carried it back in my suitcase to Phoenix. I was familiar with making bread from commercial yeast, but…

    Using Preserved Lemons in a Recipe

    ByMary Crozier February 29, 2020July 10, 2024

    It’s been a little over a month since we made preserved lemons (hopefully together!) and it’s time to try a new recipe. If you missed the blog post about this, please click here. As you recall, my first attempt at making preserved lemons was a failure. But inspired by a friend who uses them all…

    Random Saturday Morning Thoughts

    ByMary Crozier February 22, 2020February 22, 2020

    A Happy Cat-instance

    ByMary Crozier February 19, 2020February 19, 2020

    I went out of town and came home to a kitten. This happened to me twice. Seriously. My mother did not like cats. It is one of those questions I wished I had asked her before she died. Why didn’t she like cats? Growing up we only had dogs, no cats. By osmosis I suppose,…

    Lemon Tart with Mile High Meringue

    ByMary Crozier February 8, 2020February 8, 2020

    My mother always made the best lemon meringue pies. After she passed, I tried to find her recipe but to no avail. I attempted making one from an online recipe and it was a complete failure. The meringue was loose and runny. I never made another. One blogger I admire greatly is Kayley from The…
