A "Found Poem"
Why bake?
Get your hands dirty
Enjoy the end result
I believe in sifting
A large balloon whisk is a staple
It’s a good idea to get to know your oven
Make sure to use the freshest butter possible
The best eggs, of course, would be from your own chicken
Start with the good stuff
You can freeze dough
Eggshells are magnetized
Until it’s done
Eat while they’re still warm!
Serve warm.
Serve warm with the honey butter or jam.
Crystallized ginger and fresh pitted cherries

Bacon-And-Egg Breakfast Tarts
I really like gingerbread

What’s For Dinner Tonight?
Scrape about half of the batter into the prepared pan
Serve warm with lots of butter
Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Serve warm.

Anything Goes Pizza
Whoopie Pies With Salted Dulce De Leche
Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, hands down.
My dad loves chocolate chip cookies.
Melt the butter and chocolate over low heat
The smells!

I was born the year the first Easy Bake oven came out
Fudge Frosting
Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Someone brought a cake very similar to this to my birthday party
When life gives you a bounty of juicy summer fruit
I love the drama of an upside-down cake
Make a double batch of toffee sauce
Make peach ice cream
Make the glaze
So far, I’ve licked two bowls today
3/4 cup sugar
Makes one 16-by-12-inch tart
Blueberry-Almond Crisp
The Midnight Galette
Nectarine Lattice Pie
Impress your guests
In a large bowl, toss the apricots with sugar
Pass me another slice, please!
Position a rack in the middle of the oven
I’d be personally devastated without chocolate
Bake the crust until lightly golden brown
Garnish with chocolate shavings, if you like.
Then bake as directed.
Let cool.
For the caramelized blood oranges
Serve with dollops of whipped cream
You can’t rush yeasted dough or toddlers.
Remove the vanilla pod.
Bake the pudding for 30 minutes.
The mixture will still be a little soupy
