I told you I would bring back Must-Make Mondays! I’m short on time, so my love of Iowa Girl Eats might not be adequately expressed in this post, but I can assure you, this is one blog you must check out! Kristin’s blog has been one of my favorites since my food blog reading obsession [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Must-Make Mondays: Raspberry Lemonade Crumb Muffins appeared fi
With grad school wrapping up and a new job around the corner, my meals have become two things: quick and easy. Despite all the shortcuts I take for my meals (can you say canned tuna on a bed of lettuce?), one shortcut I refuse to take is with store-bought granola. The minimal effort it takes [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Brown Butter Granola appeared first on Studio Cuisine Blog.
After a few baked good recipes in a row, I figure I owe you something on the healthy side. This post is a product one of absolute favorite magazines (and who am I kidding, the only magazine I read), Bon Appetit. I was so so happy when my birthday present this year came in the [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Turkey Sausage Lettuce Wraps appeared first on Studio Cuisine Blog.
So, can we talk about the weather in DC for a bit? I’m currently sitting in the sweatbox that is my apartment because apparently, DC has this law that they can’t switch buildings over to air conditioning until the daily low temperature is 65 degrees. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that it’s 90 degrees [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry M
Of all the things that are on my Sunday agenda, baking is by far my favorite. It’s even better when that baking turns out as successfully as these biscuits did. Joy the Baker really can do no wrong (if it’s the last thing you do, check out these cookies). Despite being made with whole wheat [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Whole Wheat Honey + Goat Cheese Drop Biscuits appeared f
These little babies basically made up every single one of my lunches for the past week. Eat them sans bun and they’re gluten free and Passover friendly for those of you suffering through the last couple days of the holiday! They’re the perfect healthy addition to a side salad for a wholesome, Greek-inspired lunch or [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Mediterranean Turkey Sliders a
As many of you have probably heard by now, Google Reader is disappearing as of July 1. As much as it saddens me to report this, there are alternatives. If you’re subscribed via Google Reader, you can use Feedly or BlogLovin to follow along.

I must start this post with letting you all know that this recipe was a major flop. As you probably know, I often tinker with ingredients in recipes to make things a bit healthier. When I set out to tackle this one for my weekly Sundays with Joy post, I subbed out a couple things.

When I read about the March Kitchen Challenge over at Love and Olive Oil, I couldn’t resist tackling one of the items on my baking bucket list: croissants. I took advantage of my excess free time (on my last spring, EVER) to take a stab at this challenging baked good. Per Lindsay’s recommendation, I used [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post March Kitchen Challenge: Croissants appear
Can we talk about what a small, small world we live in?On Thursday morning, I boarded a plane back to San Francisco for my very last spring break. As the flight attendant walked down the aisle, I did a double take. Of all the flights I could have taken, I happened to be on one [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Brown Butter Blondies appeared first on Studio Cuisine Blog.
Do you know what today is? It’s National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! It also happens to be the day of my birth and celebration of my 25 years on this planet, but I think peanut butter is something that’s really worth celebrating. As a peanut butter lover, I can’t think of any better way to [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! appe
A few months ago, some of my best gal pals and I gathered to brunch at the newly-opened Farmers Fishers Bakers in Georgetown. At the time we dined there, the restaurant had only been open for a weeks. The buzz about FFB brunch had obviously caught on quickly, because almost every table was packed! After [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012The post Farmers Fishers Bakers Brunch appeared first on Studio
You know how they say it’s all about who you know in life? Well, since moving to DC, that’s rung totally true. The people I’ve met have opened many a door. This door in particular was opened by my good friend (and name twin), Rachel! When she saw a post on Facebook about a new [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
DC had its first snow of the season today, and my California blood is just not prepared for this weather. I know, other places are much colder, but I’m a weather wimp and can’t handle it. My solution? Stay cooped up inside my apartment, drink coffee, and eat these cookies. If you haven’t jumped on [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
After a few decadent recipes in a row, I figure I owe you something a bit healthier. This simple salad uses roasted butternut squash, pomegranate seeds, goat cheese, and walnuts mixed in with a 50/50 blend of mixed greens and spinach. If that’s a little too healthy for your taste, might I recommend replacing those [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I know what you’re thinking. Lavender? In a lemon bar? I’m here to report that this is one flavor combination that just works. The small amount of lavender in the crust of these lemon bars is barely noticeable, but it adds a certain layer of complexity that is unmatched. I can’t really describe it, I [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I’m officially back in the nation’s capital after a very relaxing month-long vacation back in sunny rainy California. All those notions you had about fabulous California weather? They’re oh-so-wrong, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. What does this have to do with pecans? Well, not much, except that photos are exponentially more difficult to [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 201
With the final stages of our kitchen remodel still in process, my good friend Joanne was kind enough to lend my sister and I her kitchen a few weeks ago. She only had one request: macaroni and cheese. If you’re one of the people who made health-related resolutions in the new year, I apologize in [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I know just about every blogger on the planet is doing one of these roundups, but I can’t think of any better way to end 2012. 2012 was the year I started this little blog, and it’s been a great one. I am so happy to have joined a fantastic community of food bloggers, because [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
The aforementioned kitchen renovation is almost done, and the only (major) component left to be installed is our fridge. As a result, most of my meals have still come out of the microwave or were eaten out of the house. Here’s a glimpse into what I’ve been eating/doing lately. Wishing all of you who celebrate [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
When I saw this post late last night from The Lean Green Bean, I knew exactly what my breakfast today would be. Eggs are a huge staple in my diet and I certainly was going to miss them without a stove in the house. That problem is solved with microwaveable eggs! Just scramble up the [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
…is a bit like being a fish out of water! For the next three weeks, I find myself in a bit of a predicament. I’ll be spending the holidays at home in California, and the first week or so, I find myself in the midst of my parents’ substantial kitchen remodel. With the only mode [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
How has your holiday season been treating you so far? I don’t know about you guys, but mine hasn’t been food-filled enough. I came down with a terrible cold right before Thanksgiving, and because I really couldn’t taste anything at all, stuffing myself in true Thanksgiving fashion just seemed silly. When that illness disappeared, another [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I have news to report! This is my new go-to cookie recipe, and I’m telling you now, it should be yours too. Why? Well, because brown butter makes everything better. Up until this point, I have yet to find a brown butter cookie recipe I’ve loved. The cookies always turned out too cake-like and not [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
If you’re looking for a dessert for your next holiday party, this is definitely the one. If you’re also looking to bake as a form of procrastination, this cake is right up your alley.

Another day, another bowl of oatmeal! As a busy graduate student and intern, I’m always looking for quick and easy breakfasts. With 2 weeks left until the end of the semester and finals right around the corner, it’s critical to make something fast for breakfast that fuels hours upon hours of procrastination studying. And speaking [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012

If you have yet to finalize your Thanksgiving menu, you should seriously consider adding the ingredients for these Brussels to your grocery list. I’m a lover of this fantastic miniature cabbage, but if you have any family members who have yet to join the Brussels sprout-loving club (of which I am a card-carrying member), this [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
It might be a dead giveaway based on my disposable pie pan below, but can you believe this is the first pie I’ve ever made? As a pie newbie, this was the perfect one to start with. The best part about it by far is the no-roll crust. Just mix together a short list of [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
This past few weeks have been a whirlwind! As you might have noticed from my previous post, I’ve done some entertaining the past few weeks. My best friend from college was in town last weekend (hi Lauren!) and this weekend I had the privilege of hosting my mom (hi Mom!). On top of that, I [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012

For this round of Bakin’ Friends, the secret ingredient was none other than the fantastic pumpkin! We just couldn’t through the month of October without exchanging some fantastic pumpkin treats, don’t you think? I was so so excited when I received some beautifully packaged, crispy and crunchy pumpkin biscotti from the lovely Abby! This biscotti [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
Many of the recipes you see here are inspired by some of my favorite blogs. I can’t think of a better way to pay homage to those blogs than to make some of their recipes, with no adaptations or changes. This brings me to what I’ve deemed “Must-Make Mondays.” For an undetermined period of time, [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I apologize for my lack of consistency when it comes to posting lately. Life has been pretty darn crazy. Working three days a week, taking four graduate school classes, and attempting to make it to the gym at least three days a wake has seriously taken its toll. I can feel myself getting sick, and [...]© Studio Cuisine Blog 2012
I’ve talked before about my love affair with nuts. As hard as I try, I just can’t stay away from them! They’re the perfect little mindless munchable snack. One of the best things about them is their versatility. They’re the perfect blank canvas for the seasoning of your choice. They can be sweet or savory, [...]
After all the sweets I’ve been sharing, I figured it was time for a healthy recipe. A palate cleanser, if you will. When I got a five-pound bag of carrots from my produce delivery this Sunday, I knew I had to get started on using them up before they went bad. As much as I [...]
Up until this year, I never liked pumpkin. Blogging has done many things for me, but I think of everything I’ve gotten out of it, the best part has been the expansion of my palate. With 100+ blogs in my reader, I go through all of these blogs on a daily basis, pinning recipes I [...]
Rooftop breakfast… …with a view, and a fountain. Savory oatmeal. Make it, with bacon! My lifeblood: coffee, unsweetened vanilla almond milk. If you hadn’t noticed, I’m entirely too busy goofing off with my brand new DSLR to make any recipes, but don’t fret, they’re coming soon!
Before you do anything, be sure to check out the new and improved inspiration page! I split all my favorite blogs into categories, so that should hopefully make things easier to navigate. Now, on to muffins. I am so glad I used this week to catch up on a recipe I missed before I joined [...]
I hope you all are ready for another cookie recipe! This one in particular dates all the way back to my childhood. Does anyone remember peanut butter blossoms? Those peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar then topped with a cute little Hershey’s Kiss? Those were my favorite cookies as a kid. I have fond memories [...]
It’s Sunday again, and it’s a milestone of sorts – my tenth Sundays with Joy post! It’s not exactly a shout-from-the-mountaintops kind of occasion, but it’s certainly noteworthy. I’ve spent the past ten Sundays (with a short two week break) baking from the fabulous Joy the Baker Cookbook with a wonderful group of bloggers and [...]
Mmmm…snickerdoodles. I’m not sure if it’s become clear yet that I have a serious weakness for cookies. While I love a moist slice of cake or a decadent brownie, if I had to pick one dessert to eat for the rest of my life, it would definitely be cookies. They’re the best when they’re slightly [...]
Necessity is the mother of invention. In my house, when a cookie craving comes on, there’s no stopping it. This becomes a serious problem when you’re missing key cookie ingredients…like eggs. That’s where the invention (also known as Google) comes into play. Thank goodness for egg-free cookie recipes. This particular peanut butter cookie uses Razzle [...]
Finally, another Joy the Baker recipe! I apologize for lack of Sundays with Joy posts the past couple weeks. Between starting a new job, taking four graduate school classes, and trying to have something resembling a social life, weekend blogging (and blogging in general) has fallen by the wayside. I miss getting in the kitchen [...]
Great news today guys…I wrote my first guest post! I was so excited when Dalicia of Skinny Ms. asked me to contribute a recipe to this fantastic site dedicated to healthy living. Many of the recipes on Skinny Ms. use a slow cooker, so I knew I had to add one to the mix (sidenote, [...]

Also known as: use up your veggies before they go bad. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love me some vegetables, but as a household of one, they often go bad before I can get my hands on them. This is mostly due to the fact that I just don’t think pre-cooked and reheated veggies [...]
I love it when a completely unfounded recipe test turns out oh-so-well. I had all the makings for a perfect zucchini and banana dessert on hand: brown over-ripe bananas, zucchini, eggs, baking powder, salt, sugar, and flour. You heard me right, I was out of my beloved whole wheat flour. I had one measly half [...]
The idea for this recipe came from one of my absolute favorite food blogs: Edible Perspective. Ashley, the author of Edible Perspective, is the queen of nut butters. Each nut butter recipe she posts is more impressive than the next. She pushes the boundaries, especially when it comes to her savory nut butters. This is [...]
