  • Meyer Lemon Matcha Muffins

    Good morning, internet friends!  Today’s recipe is a scrumptious healthy muffin that I made to get in some nutrition, but still have a comforting winter breakfast.  Love them.

  • Perfect Spiced Molasses Cookies

    Welcome to the week that will be full of alcohol and baked goods.  Because that’s what my weekend was full of.  Partially influenced by hormones and partly by the cold, I spent my weekend eating surprisingly healthy meals (I loaded up on salads, roasted veggies, surprisingly healthy pasta sauce, and skewered Brussels sprouts from a food…

  • Blueberry Custard Cake

    Oh man, this week is hectic!  I am trying to get some Christmas things lined up, including preparing for two holiday parties/gift exchanges tomorrow.  Plus I’ve got birthdays thrown into the holiday mix, too!  It’s been a little crazed.  Mostly in a great way.  The holidays are so fun, running errands at this time of…

  • Classic Sugar Cookies

    One of my all-time favorite recipes has finally arrived!  I can’t even believe I’ve never posted this.  These cookies are super basic and have been a regular for me since I was little. The recipe comes from my very first cookbook, Williams Sonoma Kids Cooking.  It was a really fun book when I was little. …

  • Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake

    Another week, another loaf baked.  Fall just brings out the baker in me.  It will be an unofficial goal to post one baked good recipe a week for the rest of the fall/winter season.  No promises, no pressure.  But as long as this desire to bake keeps up, I’m going to keep frequently posting treats. 

  • Chocolate Babka

    I have had a torn out recipe from Cooking Light for years: chocolate babka.   Even though I cook all the time, there are still recipes every now and then that are completely intimidating.  This was one of them.   One that I simply decided to get over.  Last week when I made my simple white bread,…

  • Perfect Simple White Bread

    Happy November, everybody! I hope you all had a great Halloween last night!  What was your costume?  I didn’t dress up at all.  Just was not in the cards this year.  Alright, let’s do a recipe! On Monday I decided it had been far too long since I’ve made some home made bread.  I looked at…

  • Pumpkin & Almond Croissants

    Yes, yet another pumpkin recipe! Trader Joe’s is selling pumpkin croissants this year.  I want them.  They are not vegan.  Fine!  I will make my own.  Take that, Trader Joe’s! I made a quickie version that is ridiculously fast, super satisfying, and a really fun fall breakfast.  Or dessert!

  • Orange Whiskey Brown Sugar Cake

    I put whiskey in a cake.   A really really nommy cake. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you may have noticed that I enjoy a boozy birthday cake.  This past birthday I drenched a blueberry cake in Frangelico.  The year before I drenched an almond cake in amaretto.  I thought I’d keep with my boozy…

  • Boozy Brownies w/ Port Reduction Frosting

    I’ve got a treat for you. No, this is not a treat-with-hidden-black-beans kind of treat.  This is not a tastes-more-decadent-than-it-really-is kind of treat.  This is a splurge.  A seriously chocolately brownie filled with sugar, flour, oil, loads of chocolate, and booze.  And I’m not sorry. I really was planning on just making plain brownies without…
