Cranberry Spice Breakfast Buns


I love entertaining around the holidays!! I say yes to everything and then I feel completely rushed and overbooked. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? So when I was creating these breakfast buns my number one priority was for them to taste delicious. Obviously. But it was also extremely important that they be quick + easy. Because we’re going…

Five Spice Fig Jam


I love love love to add Chinese five-space powder to warm up baked goods and treats and it is no less stunning in this Five-Spice Fig Jam. I’ve been making it for years with plums (thanks to two plum trees) but found it was equally fabulous made with figs. And so dang good on a cheese board! If you love…

Breakfast Nachos


We take our nacho game very seriously around here. We eat them for dinner, as a snack…basically any time we have an excuse to shove them in our mouths. Last summer we were lounging around and Gavin wanted nachos. I said ‘everyone, stop what you’re doing and follow me into the kitchen.’ I told them I would be oh-so-proud if…

Easy Peasy Labneh


The thought of making cheese never entered my mind. In fact, making this type of cheese (labneh) seems somewhat fraudulent…like it really isn’t cheese…but it is…and it’s so amazingly luscious and delicious you will never not (love a double negative) have it in your fridge. At all times. It’s true, I like to dazzle people with food. I like it to…

Olive Oil Fried Egg, Smashed Avocado + Heirloom Tomato Toast


Whew. It’s been awhile. So much to say and catch up on. But first, let’s talk toast. This is hardly a recipe, more of a collection of ingredients for you to customize. But there are some hard and fast components to your toast’s success. The manner in which you fry your egg and the bread you use are key. It’s imperative that…

Petite Raspberry Scones + Fresh Lemon Glaze


How’s it going? End of school, blazing pre-summer heat + life have kept me from you. I’m sorry. I’m back. And I’m seriously backlogged with truckloads of recipes that I want to share with you. Think savory Spaghetti + Meatballs  that comes together quickly. Or what about that Salted Caramel Brown Butter Blondie Ice Cream that I’ve been parading around…

Chai Spiced Granola Waffles


| chai spiced granola waffles | I waited a wee bit to post this granola waffles recipe because I was on such a chai granola bender several weeks back, I thought we needed a time out. A brief respite to build up the anticipation again. So I paused. Regrouped. Re-tasted several thousand times (expanded my legging collection) and decided that,…

Tender Strawberry Cream Scones


Fresh Strawberry Cream Scones are one of my favorite ways to use fresh strawberries (because there is nothing better than homemade scones!). Picture the softest, lightest scone interior loaded with fresh berries at every bite (that’s this scone!). I have over a dozen scone recipes on my site, I love them so much! They’re so easy to throw together (once…

Chai-Spiced Granola


I recently spent several days with a good friend. We stayed up late laughing and talking. We talked a lot about DisplacedHousewife and the cookbook I want to write. There are lots of blogs out there. Some are all sweet. Some are only savory. Some have a little mix of both. There are paleo blogs, whole30 and vegetarian blogs. What’s my angle, what’s…

Tart Cherry Almond Scones


Someone requested these for the bakery and I sort of thought, meh…what’s the big with cherry almond scones. Holy crap you guys, these are my new favorite. Super simple to make. Everything’s a staple, none of this what’s-in-season crap. Pure heaven. Sometimes, by Sunday, when it’s the perfect scone-making day, my produce has dwindled and I don’t want to get…

Gingerbread Scones + Boozy Spiced Rum Schmooey


The holidays are here. Did you know that? Where did they come from? How did this happen? I haven’t bought one gift. Made not one list. Nary a tree graces the living room, nor lights hanging from the eaves. And, I’m embarrassed to admit, we might even have some Halloween decorations still strewn about. It’s weighing heavily on me. I’m usually…

Holiday Cranberry Orange Scones


I don’t have a ton to say. I ruptured a disc in my back several years ago (which I don’t talk about much because it makes me feel like the old-lady emoji) and I seem to have re-annoyed it. After standing on my feet all morning baking cranberry orange scones my toes were going numb and it was hurting like…

Dark Chocolate + Espresso Babka


dark chocolate + espresso babka ( shiksa bakes } I don’t think there is any denying that I love to bake. I know people are supposed to take sides…more of a cook vs. more of a baker. I can’t claim allegiance to either side. I’m a bit of a centrist that way. But when someone gave me a 50-year old…

Petite Spiced Pumpkin Scones


These Petite Spiced Pumpkin Scones have two (2!) glaze options. First, a nice maple schmooey that screams fall. Second, an anise schmooey for those of you that want to wake up your taste buds a bit. This latter schmooey adds a nice kick to the smooth, warm flavors of the pumpkin scones. I did some maple (for my kids), some anise (for me)…
