Cooking Through Fiction: The Lightning Thief — Blue Waffles

The teenage years can be awkward. Sometimes you have a bad perm and bangs that are full of so much hairspray not even gale force winds could move them. Sometimes you’re in desperate need of braces (which you get only after you’ve entered high school). Most likely all of these unfortunate events happened to me.

Cooking Through Fiction: The Wyrm King — Star Wars Pizza

Some items just go together. They’re soul mates. For example, peanut butter and jelly; chocolate and peanut butter; rainbows and unicorns; and cookie dough and slumber parties are all matches made in heaven.

Cooking Through "The Baker's Man": Dark and Stormy Ganache

I'm picky when it comes to rain. I like it in doses. I don't want days and days of rain, but I do like the occasional rain-filled afternoon.
Rainy days make me think of naps beneath the Mickey Mouse twin-size quilt I used in my college dorm. Rainy days make me want to sit at my desk and write while periodically staring out the window, listening to the pitter-patter against the panes, staring at the rivulets running down the window.
Chapter 6 in The Baker's Man is titled Dark and Stormy Gan...
