cherry + pecan autumn granola { pretend sweater time } Somewhere, people are putting on sweaters. Thick, wooly, itchy sweaters. And socks so dense they need to go up a shoe size. These people are thinking about mittens and sleds, knowing that they’re not too far off into the future. As I’m typing this, those same people are prepping all-day-in-the-oven stews, filling the…
I was totally inspired by Joy The Baker’s Pancake Muffins. As much as I love hers, I wanted them to taste like my pancakes. I love pancakes. But I‘m obsessed with the fact that I can feed a group something pancake-esque, without standing over a hot stove and missing all of the action. I don’t care what you say about…
Anytime I can throw bacon, cheese and onions in something, I will. I wanted to dabble in savory scones for quite some time but just hadn’t found the time or occasion. So when I had the opportunity to cater a large lunch recently, I knew my time had come. I didn’t put these bacon cheddar chive scones on the proposed…
maple + oat + chocolate granola crack { sainthood } Hey honies, what’s shakin’? Let’s talk about granola. I have some granola issues. First, I think it’s overpriced. Except a particular pecan one that you can get at Trader Joe’s which is fab. The other one I crave is just shy of $10 a bag, and I get maybe two bowls from it.…
I consider these The Best Mixed Berry Scones with a Bright Lemon Glaze my core scone recipe! This is an older post (that is in the queue to be updated); please reach out with any questions!! The instructions look extensive, but it’s only because I put a ton of detail in them for a perfect outcome. I promise they aren’t…
There is a lot of flavoring happening here. Almost too sinful for breakfast. But that just makes it ohhh so much better. All the flavors from the { tangerine + blueberry breakfast bread } are echoed and reiterated in this French toast. It wasn’t until I made the aforementioned breakfast bread and started in on making this French toast that…
I was excited when I saw Joy the Baker’s Baking Boot Camp making this whole wheat oatmeal bread. I really wanted to make those beautiful loaves (that post was especially gorg’), but I kept thinking that I wanted a little more happening with the bread. A little pizazz. Some flair. Some jazz hands. So I did something that I promised…
Yesterday I waxed on about weekday and weekend recipes. So my usual scone recipe does not use butter. But I see scone recipes all the time using butter and I thought…I love baked goods with butter. What am I resisting? So my previous scones have been anointed the weekday scones…and these with the butter, cream and egg are weekend scones.…
I had to share this one…almost identical to the sugared cranberry coffee cake I did a few weeks back…but with the lemon and blueberry thing happening. This feels fresher…almost like health food. Which is where my mind is at this January 1st. Blueberries are a super food, right? Hope you all have a lovely, happy, healthy, sugar-y, cozy and lazy…
Good grief, sugared cranberries. Where have you been all of my life? You are by far one of the cutest things I’ve ever done. You’re perfect in a bowl. Just sitting there, lighting up the room, begging to be snacked on. I’m inclined to want to throw you haphazardly around the house just to spice things up a bit…you add holiday…
This post needs to be updated, but regardless these Crispy Buttermilk Waffles are aces! I’ve been making them ever since we lived in Beijing in the early 2000s (and used a Hello Kitty waffle iron). This recipe is super simple to follow and very flexible. I have subbed in non-dairy milk for the milk + buttermilk and it’s worked out…
My life is currently filled with two lists. One list is filled with “have-to-dos” and the other with “want-to-dos”. The first sucks up most of my daylight hours. The latter is filled with all of the things that make me happy: hanging out with my kids, writing, baking, gardening, laying in bed reading. As I read this list it sounds like I should…
The only scones I ever eat are my mom’s. My son called her up last Sunday morning just so she would get out of bed and make them for us. She did, and they were perfect. Every time. She and my sister love the Starbuck’s pumpkin scone. Never tried it. You literally cannot turn a corner on the Internet right now without…
If you do nothing else this weekend, make this cake. I know it’s a long weekend and I should be shoving BBQ and appetizer and cocktail recipes down your throat. And believe me, those are three of my favorite things. But I want to talk about something else. I’ve got pears languishing in the garden as far as the eye can…
One of my nearest and dearest tai tais now lives only four and a half short hours away. We moved to Beijing within the same month and we left three years later within the same month. I’ll call her Tai Tai L since I’m not sure she wants her name out there in a APB. Tai Tai L and I…
