{Small Batch} Apple Turnovers.
Apple turnovers are a fantastic fall and winter dessert. Honestly, they’re good any time, but I tend to make them more during the fall and winter months. Of course the weather is still a bit whack in St. Louis at the moment, but a girl can dream, eh? I have made these turnovers a number…

Random Sides // Mise En Place.
A little Sunday food for thought: mise en place. “The system that makes kitchens go is called mise-en-place, or, literally, “put in place.” It’s a French phrase that means to gather and arrange the ingredients and tools needed for cooking.” – Article via NPR.

{The Final RBE}: Homemade Toasted Raviolis.
I realize that I’ve been more neglectful than usual toward my poor blog. But if I’m being honest, the past ~6 months have really thrown me for a loop. I haven’t felt inspired to write here at all, and I have been crazy busy with all of life’s wonderful ups and downs. Sometimes, blog neglect…

Homemade Peanut Butter Dog Treats.
I have reached a new level of awesomeness – or perhaps absurdity, depending on how you look at it – of baking. Behold: Homemade – and pretty healthy – dog treats. Now, I don’t own a dog, so that’s partially why this is perhaps absurd. I like dogs quite a bit, but I’ve always classified myself…
