There’s a reason the classics are, well,.. classic. They have stood the test of time and, in many cases, bring with them a sense of nostalgia when we make or eat them. Pineapple upside-down cake was a go-to recipe for my mom and was guaranteed to make an appearance at most family gatherings. I’ve made […]
I made you a cake. I figured it was the least I could do since I essentially vanished for the past 6 months. 2016 was an amazing year which kept me very busy, but also too busy to spend much time here. This year I am striving to strike a bit more balance. Realistically, I […]
These days, I continually find myself looking for ways to simplify my life. This week I let go of my old bike. It had 18 gears. I estimate that 16 of those had never been used. I replaced it with a single-speed bike which I have subsequently adorned with wire cargo baskets on the back […]
I am so happy to be here with new content for you today. I feel like I have been away for far too long finishing up work for later this year. I can’t wait for fall for a couple off reasons. First of all, I have loads of projects to share with you from fall […]
The perfect treat is often just a few ingredients and an hour away. Such is the case with this week’s treat. It is so simple to make and the perfect accompaniment to breakfast or afternoon tea.

The truth is, […]
Some foods just don’t get the attention they deserve. For years, I felt that way about Nutella. Having enjoyed it in Europe as a young man, I sought it out at import shops upon my return to the States. Now there is no need. You can’t stumble, tumble, or surf the web or walk through […]
There’s a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray. As a boy (and sometimes still as an adult) I always imagined that the party was for me. You see, today is my birthday. Now, I won’t bore you with the usual Christmas birthday grumblings. Instead I’ll just relish in the idea that the “click-clack” […]
The holiday season has arrived and soon guests will be on your doorstep. Your kitchen will be filled with warm faces, laughter, and conversation. You’ll want to be sure you have some hot coffee or tea and a treat or two to make the moments even better. This Coffee and Cream Bundt Cake is just […]
