She is best known for her famed “crack pie” and compost cookies, and her birthday cake truffles have reached cult status. If you haven’t tried compost cookies, I have a similar compost cookie…

This bread has been on constant rotation around our house lately. It is delicious (especially right out of the oven) and it is pretty healthy so I feel good about eating it, too.

Roasted Chicken Stock

Homemade Roasted Chicken Stock | Plum Pie

We go through at least one rotisserie chicken every week. It makes for a quick protein with some veggie sides when you have 30 minutes to get dinner ready and a toddler pulling at your leg.
