The Apron Archives

I am Aimee. I have always had a great enthusiasm for history and food, and here I get to combine the two. I live in Boston and am a proud New Englander. I am a vegetarian but you will most often find me baking. I have a special fondness for Bundt pans.

Banana Coconut Mini Bundt Cakes

When the bunch of bananas you bought for breakfast and healthy snacking have passed their natural prime, fear not! It just means the bananas are now perfect for use in delicious baked goods like breads, muffins, and cakes. I took things a step further by digging out my vintage mini-Bundt cake pan, and the results, [...]

Quick and Easy Meatless Chili with MorningStar Farms Crumbles

It’s March in New Hampshire, which means I am both dying for spring, but also completely aware that it’s going to snow at least two more times before I see my first crocus, daffodil, or tulip. Thank heavens for chili — namely, my favorite meatless vegetarian chili with Morningstar Farms Crumbles. Chunky and just spicy [...]

Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you know me, you know I can’t resist a community cookbook with worn corners and jagged, broken plastic teeth holding the pages together. Bonus points if features “cursive typewriter” font. It was these things that talked my into purchasing the combination “Big Y” local supermarket chain and 4-H club cookbook from 1985 that included [...]

Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie with Lentils, Mushrooms, and Sweet Potato

When I saw this recipe for Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie with Lentils, Mushrooms, and Sweet Potato in one of my emails from The Kitchn last week, I swooned. I really did. One of my goals for 2013 is to eat “healthy” during the week, then have fun with a new recipe on the weekend — nutritional [...]

Cranberry Orange Scones

The season of tinsel, mistletoe, eggnog, and peppermint has arrived. Also, the season of cranberry and orange, like in these tasty scones. I spent a recent Saturday night with a woman I frequently refer to as “my high school best friend” because it’s the easiest way to explain her, but like any friend that saw [...]

Recent Happenings

My friends, we are in the midst of my very favorite time of year. The months of October through December exhibit the very best in nature, color, smells, tastes, and opportunities for family, giving, and good eating. Despite how it looks from the Apron Archives view, things have been very busy in my kitchen lately. [...]

Date Nut Squares

When I was a kid my mother sometimes bought cereal that had dates in it. I used to pick them out, making a neat pile of hard, dried dates next to the bowl. I thought they looked like cat treats and their chewy texture interrupted the enjoyment I got from the otherwise delicious bowl of [...]

Cinnamon Raisin Pumpkin Bread

Hooray pumpkin season! Every year I make at least a few loaves of sweet, spicy pumpkin bread, but this year I got wild and added a handful of raisins and cinnamon chips to the quick-bread batter, and the result was my favorite pumpkin bread yet. The cinnamon chips aren’t always easy to find in the [...]

Tara’s Yellow Layer Wedding Cake with Butter Frosting

Are you currently being buried alive with summer’s most prolific green veggie? Here’s how I’ve been eating them. Slightly hollowed out and stuffed with savory goodness, then baked [...]

Lunch in Harrisville, New Hampshire

Not so long ago, heading out of the office for lunch in Boston would have meant Subway in the Longwood Galleria food court or an overpriced bean burrito from Souper Salad. Things got better when the Clover Food Truck added a Longwood location, but word got around, and the line was long. Those were dark [...]

The Best Homemade Veggie Bean Burgers

Like many vegetarians, I spent the first 5 years of my new lifestyle buying boxes of meatless burgers from the grocery store, clumsily figuring out how to cook them without them falling apart or tasting like a tasteless old sofa cushion. Then I started buying them in the “prepared food” and deli section of Whole [...]

Montague Book Mill

A visit to The Montague Book Mill in the western Massachusetts town of the same name has been on my New England to-do list for a decade.  Their slogan — books you don’t need in a place you can’t find — really sums it up. Books for fun in the middle of nowhere with beautiful [...]

Cherry Peach Slumps with Cinnamon Oatmeal Biscuit Topping

Here we are in the tall cotton season of fresh summer fruits, and I have been making the most of the fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries at the farmers’ market and local organic grocery store. While not technically in season yet, I also picked up a few peaches last weekend to add to a [...]

Harwich Hermits

I am always on the hunt for old regional cookbooks, and naturally, I keep my eyes extra peeled for books celebrating the hearty and molasses-laden foods of my beloved New England. When I find them, they usually aren’t in any shape to be used in the manner in which they were intended. Measurements are clunky [...]

Raspberry Lime Buttermilk Quick Bread

Last week we had extremely unseasonably warm weather up here in New Hampshire, and it was a glorious preview for the upcoming summer season.  To celebrate, I threw open the windows, dug out my favorite Minnetonka moccasins, and got outside as much as possible. I moved up here in November, when hibernation mode kicks in [...]

New England Kitchen Antique Shopping

One of the many reasons I love working for Yankee Magazine is the ever-present excuse I have to browse antique shops throughout the region – all in the name of knowledge and research. I browse with equal enthusiasm for art, books, jewelry, knick-knacks…but I confess the first objects my eyes dart around the room for [...]

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

After the chocolate chip cookie, I don’t think any cookie in America is more beloved than the peanut butter cookie. Yes, I know there are versions of chocolate chip peanut butter cookies, and peanut butter cookies made even more peanut-y thanks to the addition of chunky peanut butter or chopped, salted peanuts…but for me, this [...]

No matter where I turn this time of year, I encounter recipes for Chicken and Dumplings that taunt me with their thick, chicken-y goodness.  They’re a classic comfort food – right there next to the macaroni and cheese and beef stew – and now I can finally enjoy my own version with all of the hearty [...]

Pretzel Bread

When I was in Fort Myers last summer visiting my cousin Jaime, she introduced me to pretzel bread.  I am a lifelong soft pretzel fan, but had never seen it in loaf form, just the usual twists and nuggets.  The bread Jaime had was rich and buttery with a golden pretzel “crust” and lots of coarse [...]

Basil is wonderful in many Italian dishes and paired with its BFF’s, tomato and mozzarella, but basil is also a marvelous ingredient in buttery cookies, especially when you also add in [...]

The Freedom Trail is a winding path that runs through downtown Boston and encompasses 16 major historical sites.  Spanning 2.5 miles from Boston Common to Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, the trail passes through busy city streets, around several peaceful graveyards, over the Charles River, and aboard the USS Constitution.  For a history nerd like myself, it’s the [...]

No picnic table is complete without a colorful, filling, refreshing pasta salad.  My favorites are the ones without mayo, not just because glops of mayonnaise makes my stomach shudder, but also because it’s safer to pack up a pasta salad tossed in olive oil and vinegar and take it on the MBTA (for twenty minutes or [...]
