To explore alternative recipes and approaches to baking. To find unique variations on everyday cooking. To say no to your basic apple pie, and yes to the Swedish Apple Crumb tart, that in fact has no apples in it. In essence, to take the pie less traveled.

Of course, I know this is a horrible picture. (I wasn't expecting to post it.) But, I've been trying desperatley to recreate a recipe for a Sour Cream Blueberry pie that I had on my honeymoon back in 2001. It may have been because I was on my honeymoon that it was the most fantastic pie I've ever eaten, but I can't seem to get it just right. So, I keep trying different variations on a basic sour cream pie recipe. I'll let you know if I ever achieve a close version to what I remember. I have a feeling I will never live up to the memory of that pie though.
Bored at my full time job, I scoured the internet for interesting and unique recipes; anything that really sounded different or caught my eye. It was only a matter of time before I stumbled upon food blogs. The posts were witty and humorous. The pictures were bright and clear, marking each stage of the recipe. I was amazed, to say the least. (And, no, I’m not 80. I’ve heard of blogs, but I always thought they were just the ravings of some seriously bored people. I was wrong, and I can admit it.)
So, after subscribing to a few, I finally decided to take the next step and start my own. Maybe people will think I’m witty and humorous, I thought. Maybe others will want to see my creations in the kitchen. Again, I could be wrong. Very wrong. But, at least I’m having fun while doing it. In short, here is my foray into the food blogging world. Enjoy!
